Hi Thehoneybadger, Thank you for your inquiry! Unfortunately, the 2 HDMI (Ver. 2.1) port of this gaming monitor does not support the ARC/eARC function. However, it does have a Headphone output port so you can connect your soundbar via Headphone cable (3.5 mm) connection. You can also connect the HDMI OUT jack on the AV device or game console (PS5) and HDMI IN jack on the soundbar with an HDMI cable, then use HDMI OUT on the soundbar (when applicable) to send the video content to the gaming monitor. This will allow the gaming monitor to display the content, while the soundbar plays back audio from the PS5. Hope this helps. Regards, Jess
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes probably, arc is just audio return channel, so I’m sure you can have is set to output on the e/arc. That how most new tvs use soundbars, etc… regardless of the input you are using. The built in speakers are terrible, but they are there too in a pinch
