HDMI In To HDMI and eARC Out - How Do I Do This?

I am running an Apple 4kTV into a LG OLED TV and have a Devialet Dione sound bar. The TV does not output eARC to the soundbar. How do I split the output from the Apple 4kTV to get both an eARC signal for the soundbar and HDMI signal for the TV? I looked on Amazon and I am unsure which splitter to buy. Your advice/guidance would be much appreciated.

Maybe it would help you to understand that the eARC port is just another HDMI input.  It functions like any other input but also is the only HDMI connector that has audio out.

If it is this particular model, then it is listed as having eARC.

Wait, I have one of those TV’s. eARC works fine. Needs CEC enabled as well though which doesn't make sense to me but it does. 

Also, you have to use the right HDMI port. Only 1 does eARC and it’s marked on the back of the TV.
