GODDAMMIT WHY IS HDMI 2.1 PASSTHROUGH ADOPTION SO FUCKING HARD TO COME BY?

Granted my agitation with this is born more from a mix of the sound bar market's weak adoption of HDMI 2.1 passthrough and Sony using an HDMI encoding chip that only supports two HDMI 2.1 ports out of a possible four, unlike every TV on the market, but still...

How does that help? I need a sound bar that supports eARC and CEC but also sends through any HDMI plugged into it with the full contingent of HDMI 2.1 features (VRR, ALLM, 120 Hz 4K, etc.).

Because processing that much bandwidth takes a lot of compute - which is expensive.

Why does it need processing power to pass the light through? An HDMI cable is already doing that for free.

>I need literal garbage because I'm too proud to connect RCA audio or a 3.5mm to a proper amp + speaker combo
