Apple TV 4K with surround sound bar

I have a Apple TV 4k and using HDMI 2.0 cable to connected to my sound bar. Using another HDMI 2.0 cable to connect my sound bar with a 4K TV.

In audio output, I can select either Apple TV or my sound bar, however, when I select the output as the sound bar displayed, there will be no picture but sound only when I play itune movie.

I must select the audio output as Apple TV to have normal picture.

Is it related to the HDIM cables that I am using?

Selecting any found speaker as audio output in Apple TV will make a wireless (bluetooth) connection with that speaker.

Selecting the Apple TV as audio output in Apple TV will send sound over HDMI (together with the video).
