Digital Audio Out Optical (Connect Speakers to TV)

[@charleeceejay8543]

Your're right; time is precious. If your TV doesn't connect with audio via an optical port, go ahead and skip to 1:20. And you did this several times. How thoughtful. Thank you.

Finally!!!! After watching so many useless videos about the wireless Sony tv headphones and how to connect them to my tv. This is the only video I found with straight clear answer!! Thank you!

Thank you for this. The converter in the description was exactly what I needed to hook up my dads old speakers for him :) thanks again man

[@aggielonghorn]

Modern TV, old stereo receiver and speakers. The only available "out" ports on the TV are auxillary out and digital optical out. When I first got the television, I had on hand a short cable with an aux jack on one end and red/white RCA jacks on the other. The cable is 10 inches long and I used two RCA couplers to connect it to a longer RCA cable that reachers the receiver. I used that connection to send my TV sound to the receiver. The sound was fine. Thinking it would be an upgrade, I bought a DAC similar to this one in the video and a digital optical cable. I hooked it up and the sound is noticeably lower through the optical line than it is through the aux cable. Both setups connect to the exact same RCA cable that plugs into the input on my stereo receiver - the aux directly with couplers and no DAC and the optical with the DAC in the middle. And yes, the DAC was setup correctly regarding all inputs and outputs. Again, I have sound with both, but the aux sound is louder by quite a bit. Any experiences on what would cause that to be the case?

Excellent information and its very informative, gets straight to the point...

Can i use to link up Samsung hwq700a soundbar to sonos mag6r ceiling speakers? DAC unit maybe?

[@oSTYNCLSYo]

I'm using the optical out from tv to the converter and then to my active speakers, but i can control the volume with the tv remote?

[@SimpleCafeE]

I don’t think so but still try going to your tv sound settings and looking for Variable/fixed and changing it there.

Cool! How to connect from AV OUT port to Speaker with 3.5mm Aux pin? Tried once but a loud buzz \ hum sound is there with light audio. Let me know if any tip to r3solve this issue. Thank you.

[@Josss002]

Hi man! Awesome video. Maybe what I'm trying to do is a little complicated haha I have a Smart TV which has Optical Audio Out, as well as RCA. I'm trying to connect this TV to a Focusrite Scarlett Audio Interface (which doesn't have optical audio input) in order to get the sound out of my Studio Monitors. Could you help me figuring out how should I do this configuration please? I'm a little bit lost. Hope you can help me. Cheers, man!

[@tonymanzo3766]

Do you have eArc, my new Samsung tv doesn’t have an optical output, but I have a Bluetooth capable tv . I bought a Bluetooth receiver and paired to my tv problem solved on one hdmi. My cable box has an optical output so I can use that to feed the optical in on my surround sound, Problem solved here too, I bought an d since returned an hdmi with an optical breakout to provide signal but I could not get it to work. My Samsung tv tv defaults to tv speakers which I have turned to zero. I have to pair every time I use the Bluetooth, makes for using my firestick kinda wonky I can’t use video out of my stereo, an unstable picture when going through the Bose surround system video out, my other tv I had for 16 years ad no issue, got a bigger tv.

If we use spif out from tv to spidf input does tv speaker and external speaker work together?

[@SimpleCafeE]

Which cable? Coaxial or optical ?

[@texmex2338]

Opt is a must not only on soundbars but blutooth speakers as well in case your tv doesn’t have blutooth .

Using DAC can i connect 2 home theatre 1 using aux and another using RCA ?

[@probpaul5046]

The optical out on my QN90A TV is only active on 5.1 channel broadcasts. Will the DAC convert it to two channel RCA?

[@SimpleCafeE]

Hey Paul, I’d like to say yes but I can’t say so from experience.

[@yashkshirsagar3273]

I have 5.1 channel system. Will I get the same effect with the converter?

[@SimpleCafeE]

Hi Yash, sorry to say, not so because when it comes out the other end, RCA or Aux only carry two channels or audio. The speakers might all still sound but it won't be true surround.

what wire should I use?i want the sound to come out through the soundbar.I have smart tv+soundbar+amplifier

[@SimpleCafeE]

If you have a sound bar, you can plug that directly into the TV with an optical cable.

[@cikziey5649]

@@SimpleCafeE I know that. But from the soundbar to the converter, what is the wire? Is it a coaxial cable? And I connect through the output?

[@jdb007508]

How do you know which end to stick in?

[@jdb007508]

Each end looks different

[@SimpleCafeE]

sounds like maybe the other end is mini optical. does it kinda look like aux connector?

Sounds like it may be a faulty port jack. Try it with a different cable or try that cable on a different system.

Can we connect tv to amp by using headphone jack 3.5 from tv to rca amp? What the different from using tosklink?

[@SimpleCafeE]

You can do that if that’s what you got. The main difference would be that optical can carry five channels if you want to do 5 speaker surround sound. If not, you’re all good with headphone jack.

[@gempak18]

@@SimpleCafeE i have smart tv and regular amplifier with rca input only. my tv has hdmi arc, optical and microphone jack only. is there any ways to extract 5.1 surround channel from tv to my regular rca amplifier? im using Denn av 709 amplifier. thanks..

[@SimpleCafeE]

If you want surroundsound the amplifier has to have five channels for each individual speaker for it to be true surroundsound. With that out of the way, as far as the ports go, arc and optical are the only ones that can carry five sound channels for surround sound. So the signal may make it to the extractor in five separate channels but once it goes out to your speaker system it will only be two channels because RCA is left and right for a total of two channels and aux also only carries two channels. It’s a tricky scenario.

[@nathant.regalado8178]

[@lewis72]

I don't understand why newer TVs don't have an analogue audio out. There's already a DAC inside the TV for the TV's own amplifier and speakers, it's ridiculous not to be able to tap into that and save the cost of having to buy another DAC and all the faff with the leads. It must be the TV companies just being arsy for some reason.

[@SimpleCafeE]

You're totally right. I think another factor is that people believe optical is the future bc it's digital as if though analog is inferior audio quality. I'm gonna be so bold to make a video about why digital audio isn't necessarily better, more versatile yes but simply better, I don't think so.

[@lewis72]

@@SimpleCafeE Optical digital is just marketing rubbish. I have a Technics brochure from 1988 that rattles on about optical digital connections. It'll be no better than co-ax digital. and yes, depending on compression/sample rates etc, digital isn't necessarily better than analogue. Take DAB radio for example. the bit rate is so crap I don't listen to it now. I stick with FM. Even the commercial radio stations transmit a worse-quality signal than BBC radio stations. Greatest Hits Radio has such a high distortion content compared to BBC radio.
