Question Recommended HDMI Cable Tester?

[sitehostplus]

I have an HDMI cable I suspect is bad (I keep losing sound and need to reseat it on the TV to get it working again).

Does anyone know of a good hdmi cable tester so I can narrow down if it's the cable, or if it's the TV socket that is bad?

without purchasing a separate component,
just test the cable with multiple other displays and/or audio devices.

if the symptoms continue across other devices then you know it is the cable.

if it works fine on all other devices then you know it's the TV connector.
but wouldn't the TV have multiple connections available these days?

It's connected from a TV to a soundbar via ARC. And I only have one TV to work with.

I suppose I could just by another one, but wanted to make sure it was bad before doing so.

I only have one TV to work with.

you have no computer monitor, no type of stereo, no cable boxes, nothing else that uses HDMI
except this single soundbar and single TV?
and this TV only has a single HDMI port?

try it on a friend, neighbor, or family member's devices then.
