Features

HDMI-to-Optical Digital Adapter: If your TV does not have a HDMI ARC input, but does have an optical (toslink) digital output, this HDMI-to-optical digital adapter can be used to get sound from your TV to a Sonos Amp, Sonos Beam, and other soundbars that only feature an HDMI ARC jack. This adapter will still support 5.1ch Dolby Digital and 2ch PCM.

Can this work with a PS4 because the PS4 hdmi is broken?

[ Charlotte Dec 11, 2020 ]

1 answer

This does not work to pass video. It connects to an optical port which is audio only. It will not work in place the the HDMI port. You will have to try to get it repaired. I wish I had different news for you there

[ Paul Dec 22, 2020 ] Staff

My TV digital optical port door is broken so I have not been able to use it and my Sonos soundbar does not have HDMI. Could I use this too connect a digital optical cord from the soundbar to an HDMI port on my TV?

[ V Dec 06, 2020 ]

1 answer

Unfortunately, no. This only works the other way.

[ Calvin Dec 17, 2020 ] Staff

Is this adapter bi-directional? Can it be used to connect my surround receiver's hdmi output to another device's (DAC's) Optical Input?

[ Paul Sep 13, 2020 ]

1 answer

Hi Paul. The Sonos Optical Audio adapter is not a bi-directional adapter, and would not work in your proposed application. Please chat with us online or by phone at 1-800-324-9695. We will be happy to go over your setup with you to possibly find another solution.

EI think it is not Bi-Directional. Can not convert HDMI to Optical. Needs optical signal to work. Optical to HDMI only. Use with Sonos speakers onlynter an answer to this question.

Can I remotely control my sound bar using my TV remote using Sonos optical audio adapter? I read you couldn't control the sound bar via a TV remote using only a optical connection, only able to using a hdmi cable. Will this converter allow me to control my sound bar using a TV remote?

[ FURY364 Aug 16, 2020 ]

1 answer

Yes, once you set up your TV to use the sound at you should be able to. However, I would suggest downloading the SONOS app to iPhone/Android and setting up and controlling it from there. I have 2 identical Sonos sound bars (one on an LG TV that required this optical, on a Samsung that didn't) and its a breeze to set up, configure and control from there.

Optical to HDMI connector... Sonos has one

[ Jeffrey Feb 14, 2020 ]

My optical audio digital output is broken and I can't insert my Sonos cord in to the tv. Is there a way to bypass this and use this device for sound?

[ Laura Jan 29, 2020 ]

1 answer

We have not received any answers from other customers on your question. I would recommend reaching out to an Advisor by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat. They should be able to help answer your question.

[ Calvin Feb 28, 2020 ] Staff

I purchased a Sonos Amp to power my ceiling speakers. I also have a Bose soundbar. Both use an optical cord. I purchased an optical splitter but it appears that it's changing the sound to mono out of both speakers. Does Sonos or another company have an optical splitter that will keep the stereo surround sound on all speakers?

Cables to Go makes a HDMI Audio De-Embedder which works perfectly for me

[ EDWIN D Dec 23, 2019 ]

My tv doesn't have optical digital audio output. I'm looking at connecting a Sonos Playbar. Will this adapter do the trick? Thanks!

[ JeffJ Nov 30, 2019 ]

It should. I used mine to convert My sound bar. Now its a Sonos connected speaker.

[ Rashamon Nov 30, 2019 ]

Hi Jeff, I am not familiar with the adaptor but it should work. If you would like to book an appointment with one of our specialist please feel free to contact us. Thankyou.

[ Digital Living Nov 30, 2019 ]

Will this improve the Line in sound of a CD player(Integra cdc3.4)connected to the new Sonos Amp currently connected with the rca connection? In other words will it improve the sample/bit rate connection via rca in to the Sonos Amp seems to make for a loss of detail

[ Balooo2 Oct 10, 2019 ]

Hi Ty, thank you for your question! Unfortunately, using this HDMI to Optical Adapter wouldn't be your best course of action. However, adding a DAC, like the Cambridge Audio DacMagic 100 to your system would provide you with the improved sound quality, and make up for the loss of detail you are experiencing. Chat with us online or by phone at 1-800-324-9695, any of our amazing team of Advisors will be happy to go over your options!
