Features

Optical Digital-to-HDMI Adapter: If your TV does not have a HDMI ARC input, but does have an optical (toslink) digital output, this Optical digital-to-HDMI 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.

Q&A

20 questions already asked

Will this work with any receiver with aHDMI ARC IN port or only with SONO?

[ Eric E Mar 07, 2022 ]

A

This part works with other brand audio gear that features the HDMI ARC input

[ Paul Mar 15, 2022 ] Staff

My TV will only output surround sound from the HDMI ARC port and my receiver only has optical inputs. Will this cable convert HDMI ARC to optical audio to fix that?

[ Nabhan Feb 19, 2022 ]

A

I used this because my TV HDMI ARC stopped working. I used it so I could use a different part of my TV and now my ARC system does work, just not through the HDMI ARC.

[ Cheryl Feb 19, 2022 ]

I have Beam and 2 1L speakers . What should I purchase to add a CD player to use the system ? What Components , CD player, Amp or streaming device,to hook up?

[ John Jan 21, 2022 ]

A

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.

[ Kenny Jan 26, 2022 ] Staff

Will this work with a ROKU device? I have an old LCD LG TV with DVI video linked to digital optical audio (separate ports). ROKU is HDMI only. I want to send the ROKU to a high quality HDMI splitter and then send one output to the TV DVI port using a 'HDMI to DVI' cable and then send the other output to the digital optical audio input source on the TV. Will this cable work for that application? Thanks.

[ Evan Sep 27, 2021 ]

A

As far as I know, this adapter is specifically designed to adapt an optinal output from a television to an eARC input on a Sonos sound bar. I'm not sure that you could use it in the manner that you're describing.

[ SCOTT Oct 02, 2021 ]

I'd like to connect this adapter to my CD player's optical output and run a HDMI cable from the other end of the adapter to my receiver's HDMI input. Will audio pass to the receiver by converting Toslink to HDMI?

[ Alex Jul 10, 2021 ]

A

This can be used to get that audio from the player's output send to the HDMI ARC connection on a receiver as well as soundbars

[ Paul Jul 17, 2021 ] Staff

It doesn't matter which direction I'm going in, optical to HDMI or HDMI optical, does it?

[ Kenneth Jun 06, 2021 ]

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

[ Charlotte Dec 11, 2020 ]

A

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 ]

A

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 ]

A

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.

[ Jess Sep 25, 2020 ] Staff

Is this adapter Bi-directional? Can it be used with my surround receiver's hdmi output, to another device's (DAC) optical input?

[ Insiteful Sep 13, 2020 ]

A

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.

[ ALLAN WILLIAM Sep 13, 2020 ]

A

I 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 only

[ ALLAN WILLIAM Sep 13, 2020 ]

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 ]

A

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.

[ H Aug 16, 2020 ]

Will this work to connect hdmi out from my laptop to optical in of KEF LSX?

[ Mike Apr 03, 2020 ]

I have a surround receiver without a ARC hdmi port but my tv does have an arc port...can I make these work together? I tried many ways and havent succeeded.

[ Russ Mar 28, 2020 ]

I have a sound bar with no hdmi only optical what can use for blue ray ?

[ Clifford Feb 12, 2020 ]

A

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 ]

A

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?

[ Jim Dec 02, 2019 ]

A

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 ]

A

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

[ Rashamon Nov 30, 2019 ]

A

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 ]

A

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!

[ Jess Oct 24, 2019 ] Staff

Can I use this to plug in my sonos soundbar optical output to an hdmi cable to my theater projector to get sonos operating with that?

[ Steve Oct 06, 2019 ]

A

Steve, I recommend you get in touch with one of our advisors for more in depth, personalized help. That way we can look more closely at your projector and the whole system. https://www.crutchfield.com/support/ContactUs.aspx

[ Calvin Oct 19, 2019 ] Staff

Can this be used with a non-Sonos A/V receiver?

[ Justin Sep 02, 2019 ]

A

This will work with non-Sonos equipmetn for audio transmission, yes.

Audition speakers before you buy

SpeakerCompare simulates the sound of home and car speakers through your headphones. It lets you compare sonic characteristics between speakers so that you can make a more informed shopping decision.

Why selecting your headphones is important

SpeakerCompare tailors your listening experience to the exact headphones you have, so that what you hear is comparable to auditioning speakers side-by-side in person. Knowing which model headphones you’re using lets us remove any sonic coloring from your experience.

Two different listening modes

In an actual listening room, you'd find that some speakers play louder than others when fed the same amount of power. In equal power mode, you'll hear these differences in loudness as they naturally occur between speakers.

In equal volume mode, we've made the loudness of each speaker about the same. This gives you a more direct comparison of subtle voicing differences between speakers.

Nothing beats listening to speakers in your space

SpeakerCompare gives you a sense of the sonic differences. But performance in the real world is affected by the acoustics of your car or home, your choice of amplification, and your source material. We still believe that the gold standard for auditioning speakers is hearing them in your own environment — that’s why we offer a 60-day money-back guarantee.

Listening Kit

Our Listening Kit

To help you choose the right speakers, we recommend using Crutchfield’s SpeakerCompare Listening Kit. It includes a pair of studio-quality headphones, and a guide to getting the most out of your session, and a few other necessary items. We’ve carefully chosen the components of this kit to ensure a crystal-clear listening experience. It’s available for a nominal rental fee, and includes a $25 Crutchfield merchandise credit.
