For example; I have a PC monitor that has no built in speakers or HDMI eARC support and a soundbar that has HDMI in. In theory, I can simultaneously get video from the PC monitor and high quality lossless sound via HDMI on the soundbar by using the splitter.
However I'm not certain if the splitter even supports audio passthrough. I guess it's cheap enough to try my plan regardless. I'm in for one to test my half ars audio splitter idea; thanks OP.

An HDMI audio extractor is what you need if this doesn't work. There are some with and without switched ports for multiple devices. I have one that passes the TV's EDID for video, but soundbar's EDID for audio.

Yeah, this is mainly for business use I think. Splitting output for multiple screens for presentations.

For example, I had a 1080p speakerless PC monitor attached to that aforementioned splitter with a 5.1 ONN soundbar [hilineelectronics.com] that worked great; I was able to have 1080p video for the monitor and 24bit 48000 hz audio come to the soundbar via a single PC's video card hdmi signal that was being split. Not sure if I was able to passthrough Dolby codecs/formats to the soundbar via that setup though...
I mentioned the useful device in a unrelated thread if you want more info. Long story short; it allows old audio receivers to support lossless audio via HDMI that don't have eARC capability. Only drawback is that the OREI has only one video input and output so you are limited to one device for audio extraction.
A workaround is attaching all your HDMI devices to your TV then use the TV's eARC port to output to the OREI HDA-927 Audio Extractor then finally have the OREI pass that signal to your receiver. Just make sure that your TV has lossless audio formats passthrough as many don't and use Dolby Digital Plus which is a lossy format.
This allows me output to either TV or projector both 4k (one of them stays powered off) and one I want to watch is powered on…
Works great

My soundbar has an issue where is supposedly supports eARC, but when I pass Atmos and other high bandwidth things to it, it seems to have a buffer overflow and will randomly cut out every five or so minutes.
But the signals worked fine when I connected a device to the soundbar's HDMI. But the soundbar was HDMI 2.0, not 2.1 so 4K 120Hz and other new features weren't supported.
With the extractor I have the full 4K 120Hz signal going to the TV, and the Atmos audio is going to the soundbar and they play nicely together with no drops.
The only thing I lost is the TV can no longer send HDMI CEC commands to the soundbar, so the TV's remote can't control the soundbar's volume. I'm now just using a programmable universal remote instead.
