Is it possible to connect a fire stick to the HDMI port in the soundbar? My Samsung q800D soundbar has two HDMI ports, one regular port where I put in the fire stick and one eARC port which connected to the TV. However, when I use the Firestick to stream stuff , it changes the sound source to HDMI instead of displaying eARC on the soundbar. Is this just a glitch and I’m actually hearing eARC quality sound, or is it simply not possible to connect a streaming device directly into the soundbar and instead it has to go into the TV?

No, it is not possible. Audio Pass through only on sound bars.
