Apple TV 4K - Audio out in addition to HDMI?

[jfh]

I currently have a 3rd generation Apple TV with an HDMI connection to a video matrix and an audio connection to an audio switch.  Would like to upgrade the box to a 4K one.

 

Can I / How do I do a similar split with an Apple TV 4K since there is no optical audio out?  Is there some way to split the HDMI output?  Or am I SOL?

Varying kinds of hdmi audio extractors. Some are 1080p, others 4k, others 4k@60hz. Another thing to look at is whether it will do stereo only in from the appletv which limits any rooms with surround sound from getting Dolby. More expensive units will downmix surround to stereo. So depends on the system at the house to justify if a higher tier unit is needed

What do you recommend for the greatest flexibility?

I have 3 of these on my own system. One for ATV 4k, ATV 4th and Shield. Works great.
