TV Soundbar HDMI

Our TV has 4 HDMI ports and we want to connect it to a soundbar
The first port has the higher res 120hz and is also the ARC one. If we connect to this port and then plug the PS5 directly into the soundbar then will it still display at the 120hz?

    This entirely depends on the soundbar and what it can do. At a minimum it must support pass through and HDMI 2.1
  • Difficult to see the instruction manual or read the soundbar's model number from here... it's possible it will but that doesnt mean it will.

    Make and model of both TV and Soundbar and what other items you have connected to the TV.

    My Panny TV has two UHD capable hdmi ports one of which is eARC and two other hdmis. 

    So if only the PS5 needs 4k 120 Hz and there's another suitable hdmi input spare use that?

    As said above, if we knew what TV and sound bar you've got then you'd probably get a much better answer.

    Make and model numbers of each please.
    Never under estimate the power of stupid people in large numbers
  • The TV is a TCL C6K and the soundbar is quite an old Samsung soundbar with soundshare got it around 2018
