Hi @pennydreadful as the Sky Soundbox doesn't support ARC I don't use the HDMI 2 ARC port by choice my Soundbox is also connected to the tv via optical cable as well for external devices like Playstation and Firetv Stick.

Typically that means you'd get audio from a Q box over HDMI to the Soundbox  just fine: what you won't get is Soundbox audio output from apps on the television, or from any other HDMI device with a television input: those would use the speakers in the TV
