I came up with this video for the people who misses the analog outputs on newer TV's. All the links in the video are below Here's the video on the stand that's at the end kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpnXdJKwm5qCrNk LG Televisions DAC 2022 Updated Video kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6PPgnx9rKqIhc0 Everything you seen in the video.

The Sony DVD/radio sound system doesn't have the optical just the RCA red and white. Yellow for the video which is in the back of the TV. As for the Android box it has HDMI, 3.5m av slot like a phone. And the SPDIF. I have a splitter from a 3.5m headjack to a red and white on the sound system. I have sound and video coming from tv with HDMI for and Android box. I just don't have sound from tv to sound system.

[@nelvincentsarian9528]

I have a question sir is DAC work with any kind of external speakers or speakers must have optical features too?

[@michaelamster2428]

Steve, I am planning a new TV purchase. This video was helpful, but I do have a question. You mention in the set up process the TV speakers need to be turned off to enable to the digital optical output. Is this required with all of these newer sets? Currently, I have the audio outputs connected to a high end vintage audio system which we only use some of the time. We also have the regular audio from the TV available. Is that still possible?

[@TechSteve]

Just switch to optic in the menu

[@fireflakes1783]

@@TechSteve i have a similar device but what could Cause it to Squeal swaping from youtube to cable tv. sometime also transfers no signal to the amplifier.

[@drigodamus]

I’ve looked at three different technical concerns today and each time one of your videos came up and each has been a godsend, thanks for sharing, Steve!

[@Artisan0559tube]

Thank you for bringing a means to connect a TV (with terrible sound) with no outputs........you have a great manner and clear instruction.

[@kaureanpatrick1143]

Awesome video! I just bought a new TV thanks to one of your wonderful reviews, and ran into this same issue with the EXACT speakers.

[@M4DEVA]

Thank you Tech Steve! Perfect solution. You are the BEST! Thank you for your advice, DAC worked perfectly. Please keep doing what you do, we all appreciate your experience. Continued success to you Tech Steve.

[@arigvi101]

I feel like someone should give you the honorary title of a "TV God". I've been searching for a tutorial on how to do exactly this. Thank you!

[@Robert8455]

Earlier I watched your review of a new Samsung TV I grabbed at Costco (really had no idea what I bought) and after I got it hooked up to my PC I realized no sound and my old Dell does not have a digital input. Did another search and bam... there you are again with the perfect answer and links to go get it with all the specs making my life super easy. You are awesome Tech Steve. Thank you.

[@TechSteve]

You’re welcome Robert

[@BoneZone]

5 minutes ago I was thinking of how to plug in my Bose Companion 2 speakers to my LG tv with optical digital out only... this was the first video I clicked. Thank you!

[@TechSteve]

You’re welcome

[@dRyAnCy0729]

Finally found someone that can explain well how it works... Thnks🥰🥰🥰

[@honeymonstermix]

Thanks for making this video.I had already purchased a converter & was able to connect it to my smart TV in 5 minutes with your help. I have an old amplifier connected to boxes that have a excellent sound & did not want to have to purchase a soundbar. €23.18 for a converter or €300 upwards for a soundbar with the kind of quality I prefer especially for music is financially fantastic and more environmentally friendly.So thank you Steve🙏🏾

[@soarinsen]

Bro, probably best video explaining this that I’ve seen. Nice job man!

[@TechSteve]

Thanks

[@michaelcoakley6484]

Thanks for your video. I have the same model DAC and I also have the Bose speakers that you use in the demonstration. You were very helpful. Thanks.

[@jackiebystrek6973]

[@TechSteve]

Thanks Jeffery

[@JohnsmithQqqq]

This channel will never reach a million followers. Stats from u tube from when this channel started shows minimal growth....at best. Has nothing to do with the content itself as it is quite good but the competition and saturation in the tech channels is out of control. U tube analytics team member.....

[@TechSteve]

@francis that would be great information if that was my goal. But it isn’t, I’m build a video production company that I don’t talk about.

[@omarlodge76]

Super helpful and informative! Also product links were clutch!

[@NikolaTomic]

Thank you a lot!!! Last night I check every single cable (out lf few thousands I have in my work room) to convert this tv output to my mixer and found - your video! 🙏🙏🙏 Now I am going to clean mixer and call audio shop (erm... today is lock up here... damn)...

We all have that box of cables, always comes in handy

I was having issues with this earlier today thank god you released this video.

Great video, I bought the analog converter without the remote without knowing and I have to get up all the time to adjust the volume. Going to reorder this one with the volume remote.

[@liviperi]

the same happen to me, but in argentina there are no converters with remote

[@haroldmyhna3737]

What is the name of that device

[@TechSteve]

Links are in the description of every video

[@poloboy]

You can also use an ARC extractor, which works exactly the same, however uses one of the TV's HDMI ports as an output, and connects it via the converter turning it into L/R wires for your audio system, but with the advantage of allowing the TV's remote to adjust the volume

[@Mafioso1731]

See and this is why I read comments 👍🏽

Nice! Im going to do this!

[@dennishaynes1907]

thanks you, after 3 hours of trying to figure this out its great to know that there is a solution :)

[@TechSteve]

You’re welcome

[@katinarichardson7655]

Thanks for your help. It worked perfect.

[@jutukka]

Very well explained. 👍 However, I wish all devices still could have analog outputs because an adapter which needs a power supply of it's own is a bit awkward. Of course the benefit of optical output is that it is not galvanic connection so it for example helps preventing ground loops between audio devices.

[@sdqsdq6274]

lol, its call phasing out , but some of us still has old speakers ,ha

[@TheBaigan]

just bought the new lg nanocell75 with this converter all because of your reviews !

Did you have to change your tv output to pcm only?

[@drummerdoingstuff5020]

Because HDMI is the new standard

[@startazz]

Huge thumbs up Steve as this solves my optical cable coming from my sound bar that i had hooked up to the PS4,as you probably know the PS5 doesn't have a optical input but using this device should solve my problem yes? Much love and respect to you and yours Steve,from a brotha in the UK. 🙏🏾👊🏾💪🏾👍🏾✊🏾🙏🏾

[@TechSteve]

Doesn’t your TV have an optical output

[@cheriel7455]

Oh mah goodness! My Sony Bravia just died, but my Bose 3-2-1 still works, (Bose told me no option for my tv) and the sound on my new tv is absolutely terrible. Just ordered the converter, can’t wait to see if I can make it work! Tech Steve is amazing! This is the kind of guy everyone needs in their life, lol, thanks!

Brilliant video, Thanks for the vital info.

[@thesephkind9657]

Exactly what I needed and so clearly explained.

[@yumpinyiminy963]

Looks OK and I like that most connections are on the back side. I would use it on my PC/Monitor. I don't like the digital (push button) volume. I don't need or want another remote just a knob that I can quickly adjust.

[@AnilKumar-zo2eu]

You’re welcome Sharon 👍🏽

[@motor_citymuscle288]

I love using studio monitors for home theater and gaming. As for the home theater, the wife can’t stand getting up to adjust the volume 😛. So I’m going to use this to allow us to adjust the volume on the couch. I was going to use the “Dayton Audio WBA51 Multi-Room Wi-Fi Streamer with AirPlay and Spotify Connect” but it’s $80. So I’m hoping this $23-ish device will work.

[@bikdav]

Note: On some TVs - such as my LG - you need to make sure your digital out is set to PCM. Some TVs - such as my LG - have both a PCM and Dolby Digital option. Most DA converters don't work with Dolby Digital, but work only with PCM.

[@motor_citymuscle288]

Thanks for this note.

Perfect explanation!! easy enough setup. Now the issue I have is once I have it hooked to my receiver I seem to only get sound through my left speakers?? I need to know where I went wrong lol any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Perhaps there is an issue with your audio cable/RCA cable- replacing it with a new one may resolve your issue :)

[@gregorylarge1769]

Excellent explanation!!!!!

[@martinthomas8677]

This was very helpful

[@macanudobatatudo]

Hi Steve! I'm actually having problems with the setup of the device to convert digital to analog. When I connect the 3.5 mm to 3.5 mm port of my JBL Xtreme portable speaker this one makes a continuous noise and I don't get sound from the TV. Now, there's another element: I happen to have a set top cable box hooked up to the TV, where should I connect the optical cable? From the output port of the TV or the one at the set top cable box in order to get sound? Mightily confused 😕

[@katinarichardson7655]

I couldn't get the remote to respond with volume.. I think my JVC stereo might be to old but everything else worked perfect. Thanks

[@RefinerSimilitude]

My 2018 Sony Bravia (KD65X750F) has optical out and my Logitech Z-5500 has optical in and decodes Dolby, THX and dts, but it doesn't sound anywhere near as good as my older sound card on the same speakers via L, R, Center/Sub coax. Might converting the tv's optical signal to L, R, C/S coax improve the sound?

[@JulioGonzalez-ww3we]

Hi Steve, I just can across your video with the same exact problem. I also got the same DAC. I'm having an issue connecting my Yamaha stereo receiver RX-V390 to the DAC. I am however, able to choose and see the DAC on my Q60t and can see the audio signal move up and down. But the sound does not come out of the Bose speakers that are connected to my old stereo. Any idea on how I can fix it. I've tried a few things with no luck. Thank you for the informative video.

Hi great and simple video. I have a question. I have an audiophile of @ acoustics speakers 3020i connected with my pioneer vsxD712. Would you recon a good DAC for the sources like computer desktop, record player and for tv as well. I am really confused on this. I thought my VSX D 712 av receiver already contains a DAC. Can you please clarify and suggest me plz

Thank you for the video, unfortunately I couldn't get a converter to work with Samsung UN65NU6900. I connected to a sound system that's connected to speakers through out the house via optical and set switch to T for optical input, go thu sound settings on TV and nothing, no sound, I plug in headphones and get a terrible screeching sound, I then tried a phone speaker that I know works because I use it with my phone....I plug it into the headphones jack on converter and screaching sound again. Any other ideas of what I could try? The converter I purchesed looks exactly like the one you are using but without a remote.

Do you bypass an amp because you are using active speakers ? If I have HDMI Arc, do I still use the optical cable ? My set up is for a PS3 or a 4K Blueray

[@ChocolateTy007]

How do i do that but opposite? My tv does not have the optic plug but my sound bar does

[@unwoken]

Any idea of the input voltage is 120 / 240 volt?

[@tanktexas]

Thanks, I have the opposite where my tv doesn't have the fiber optics plug, this should still work

[@TechSteve]

I don’t think so

[@Mic-iz1gz]

The Sony DVD/radio sound system doesn't have the optical just the RCA red and white. Yellow for the video which is in the back of the TV. As for the Android box it has HDMI, 3.5m av slot like a phone. And the SPDIF. I have a splitter from a 3.5m headjack to a red and white on the sound system. I have sound and video coming from tv with HDMI for and Android box. I just don't have sound from tv to sound system. So what will work. I tried connecting the system to the tv only but it doesn't work. So will this converter work with my issue. I have a Vizio 4k if that helps any.

[@yourboiblue5421]

I'm sure someone might come across the same issue that I did (which may be obvious to others) I have a samsung tv but audio still wasnt coming out my speakers, for this I had to go on settings > sound > advanced > then change it it from Dolby to the other option

is there any way of connectin speakers to your TV but also not losing the TV sound I want to be able to put on the TV as normal but if I'm watching a movie I wouldn't be able to switch over and add to my stereo as well as coming from the TV or do all TVs lose their sound when it's connected to another source

Hi Steve Can I give sound to my 5.1ch sound system from 2.1ch converter through a 3.5mm to 5.1ch rca?

[@MrBogdanLupu]

Hello. First of all, thank you for the video, it's been very helpful. Second, from time to time i get a small and annoying problem, the sound from what's playing on the tv just stops, for no reason. I have used this device, together with Logitech Z333 speakers and Samsung UE43AU800 0KXXU, and connected them with 2-Male to 2-Male RCA Audio Cable. I keep all the time the jack from the speakers in the laptop, and the tv all the time connected to the small device. When i am playing something on the laptop, i don't have any trouble, but when i am watching the tv, sometimes the sound just stops, and i have to "restart" the speakers in order to get sound again. Any ideas, why this is happening?

[@frankcoffey]

Having analog also lets you hook up a headphone amp or Bluetooth adapter.
