I have a yamaha ATS 1070 soundbar which has one hdmi in/out and ARC. I currently have the hdmi going from my amazon fire to the tv snd the ARC is connected to the TV. I ultimately would like to have my ps4, switch and fire go through the soundbar to the TV. Would I have to buy a hdmi switch or splitter? Or us there something else I should be doing?

If you must route everything through the SB, then yes, Sources ---> Switcher -----> SB ----> TV. I hope this switcher has a remote else pain.

You can connect sources directly to TV, which usually have multiple HDMI ports and the path of the audio would be: Sources ----(HDMI IN)----> Tv -----(HDMI ARC)-----> SB.
