eARC to Reciever

[outsiderr]

How do I get Hi resolution sound from my Amazon Fire tv with eARC to my old Sony HDMI receiver?I believe I am getting only Arc quality sound now through my HDMI cables

What is the model of Fire TV? What is the model of the Sony receiver?

That receiver only supports ARC, so if you want eARC you need a new receiver. There is no workaround for this.

I got a device that suppoedly took the audio from eARC and sent the audio only. to my receiver,but it was a cheap Chinese device that stopped working after a couple of months.I have hoped and waited for a quality device from a good brand,but have heard nothing.Is it possible to extract the eARC audio and send it to a receiver?

Not as far as I know. I have never heard of doing that, but I did find a unit that does it.

That looks like your only option, other than updating your receiver. One problem I see if that you may well have latency issues, and have trouble getting picture and audio to synchronize.
