Can appleTV play video over HDMI and audio over bluetooth simultaneously?

I would like to hook up an AppleTV 4th generation (A1625) to my projector. The projector has terrible speakers, so I would like to use a soundbar for sound.

Can the AppleTV send the video signal over HDMI and output the sound over bluetooth?

Thank you!

apple tv external bluetooth speaker Hi I have a 4th gen appletv connected by hdmi to my projector, but my projector has no speaker. Can I use the other connection port on the back of the appletv to run out to a speaker to get sound.... (I tried by Bluetooth, but appletv wants to only search for a TV & not a standalone speaker. Furthermore I'd prefer to hardwire speaker and not Bluetooth it) Cheers

Use soundbar to stream video to Apple TV Hello, I have a projector with an Apple TV 4k connected. My idea is: if I buy a soundbar with Airplay, having HDMI ports in, could I stream from the bluray player to the soundbar to the Apple TV with Airplay? Something like: Bluray player ---- HDMI ---- Soundbar Soundbar ----- Airplay ---- Apple TV Apple TV ----- HDMI ----- Projector Thank you! Fabio
