can I split my cable signal into video and audio through a 1 in 2 out HDMI converter?

[mlaroy21]

Looking for help, I have a new projector and a sound bar that I want to use together, but the projector has no audio out, and I don' want to buy a receiver and speakers at this time. can I split the source by using a 1 in 2 out HDMI converter?

Yes, look for something like https://www.amazon.com/HD-102-Powered-Splitter-Certified-Support/dp/B005HXFARS
Another option, this time with HDMI and audio out: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HQHJQK1/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=AHWCC048SI87U&psc=1

You can use a splitter but only if the soundbar has an actual HDMI input rather than just an HDMI-ARC connection.
You can use an HDMI input selector with audio extraction. That will give you digital and analog audio outputs for the soundbar.
