eARC, HDMI, PS4 and a projector connections?

I am hoping someone can help me figure this out, so maybe all you techies can help fifure this out.

I currently have eARC connected to eARC on the tv and directly connected to my sound bar.

Now this is the issue,
I also have a projector where I want to connect the ps4 to, however I want the sound to come out of the sound bar but with the eARC being connected to the sound bar and tv I can’t make use of the eARC socket on the projector with lout disconnecting it from the tv?

any suggestions ?

    Does your projector have audio out?
    Does your soundbar have more than one audio in?

    It just has an optical socket, 3 hdmi sockets ?
    but if I use the optical socket I’m restricted with sound so when gaming I won’t get the whole surround 5.1 experience or Dolby. I don’t know whether I’m stuck with either disconnecting and choosing between one or the other and disconnecting from the eARC on the tv.
