Comment on HDMI 2.2 cranks the bandwidth to 96Gbps and aims to eliminate audio sync issues forever

HDMI 2.2 will be released in the first half of this year and be widely available “to all HDMI 2.x adopters.” Your TV and external devices will need to support the specification
Will this solve eARC sync issues on existing devices that support 2.1? Like I could just get a new cable and it would work?

No, the cable isn’t going to implement the protocol. You need endpoints that are able to talk that protocol. That might be done with a firmware update or require new hardware.

Hey smart person, my cats wrecked my receiver by ripping out the HDMIs too many times, specifically the ARC. I’m barely an amateur at solder, is there anything I can do?

I’m not the smart person you replied to and I don’t know for sure, but given many modern circuits have become very fine and compact, I’m not optimistic about your chances to repair it. It would depend on the nature and extent of the damage, of course, but if you’re an amateur, I think you’re better off replacing (though you might get away with replacing just a part instead of the whole device).
