Okay but there are some quirks

*UPDATE* - We bought some UHD movies this week and I'm happy to report that Atmos does indeed work. This product works, but it has some weird quirks that I'm still investigating. I have this to be able to connect my Samsung Bluray, Nintendo Switch and Fios cable box directly to my Vizio soundbar which has 1 HDMI IN port and 1 HDMI ARC port. I've had some Dolby Digital audio latency issues when connecting devices to the back of a Samsung TV and outputting to the soundbar via HDMI ARC and I was hoping this would fix the issue. The good news is that if you plug everything into the Switch and straight into the soundbar, the lag is gone and it sounds great. I see no difference in picture quality. There's a slight delay when switching between inputs, but I didn't find anything boring. I even get surround sound from Nintendo, which can be finicky if not plugged in properly. I received the product very quickly and in good condition, so there are no complaints against the seller. However, there are a few things to note: 1. I got this to work using my Logitech Harmony remote. This switch looks like it's sold under different brands, but it's all the same model. Logitech has one model but not all the different brands. Since the model is the same, you can use any of the brands. Just find one.2. I had the same problem as someone here that when I turned on the cable TV, for some reason the Blu-ray also turned on. The switch will automatically switch to Blu-ray input. I stopped this by disabling Anynet+ (CEC) in Samsung Blu-ray settings.3. For some reason the Dolby Digital or DTS signal sometimes does not reach the soundbar. It doesn't happen all the time. My soundbar has one light, white on DD and amber on DTS, and it doesn't always turn on with that switch. I hope this doesn't go on. When I turn everything off and restart I get a signal and everything sounds and looks like it should and my soundbar confirms the signal with indicator lights. Advertised as compatible with Dolby Atmos. I couldn't find anything about it in the product description. I have a Dolby Atmos compatible soundbar but don't have any content to test it with.

Note: CEC support is passthrough only; you can't use it to control the switch itself

Switch with a solid output, auto-switching works most of the time.
