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.

erik-squires, many thanks for your help, I had no idea HDMI 2 input is also eARC out

Hopefully the thread helps someone else.

It took me a while…
We have the 65” OLED.
The #2 input (in the middle) is the eARC. I have 3 input HDMI ports.

Yes it is an input, so the Audio Reverse Channel is like Pinocchio when he was becoming a donkey… as that the sound goes out through the input.
Linguistically it makes little sense… but it works.

I/You also need(ed) to enable eARC in one of the menu areas.
It took me an hour of dickin-round to get it going.
