Hi Feliciano,
That would work fine if you had a speaker which accepts either
optical or analogue inputs, but Gary stated he has a Sonos Beam
soundbar which has only a single input and it is also HDMI.
I didn't check, but maybe there is an audio extractor which accepts
HDMI input and also has an HDMI output and that said HDMI output is
maybe an older HDMI standard which the soundbar recognizes. I am
actually surprised hooking the Apple TV 4K directly up to the Sonos
Beam does not work.

Gary,
In the past I used an HDMI to audio extractor by this company
Cablematters. This device will allow you to utilize your apple tv
headless (without a tv)
I bought it on Amazon, it was listed as Cablematters 4k HDMI to
audio extractor at the time. This particular unit has HDMI input
where you would connect the Apple TV and has optical and 3.5MM
output which can be connected to TV/ headphones/ Speakers for audio
only.
Amazon basics also has a version, you just have to make sure it has
the outputs you need.

said, a lot is possible, but whether it is practical is another
issue. Before I buy all these gadgets I would simply buy the latest
Apple TV 4K which was just released, hook it up to my Sonos
soundbar which from the way it sounds he already has and see if it
works. If not he can either return the Apple TV for a refund or
look into whatever other adapters/extractors are required to make
it work.

You connect an HDMI cable to it, and then to the Apple tv, and you
send your audio out through the RCA jacks. It's used for those
times when tvs or gaming consoles don’t have their own audio
outputs, and you need to have them for some external speakers. It's
about a thirty dollar item:
