Keep in mind you cannot control the optical audio volume. So if run to powered speakers you will only be able to adjust the volume by physically tuning the speakers up or down.

Thank you looked through so many videos - and this was the first one to explain the RCA to Optical method in the converter. heres hoping it works!

The best way to convert optical digital audio to analog RCA/jack output is through a dedicated and high quality DAC (digital to analog converter) able to reconstruct the analog signal very accurately and without artifacts. This requires an external power supply able to deliver high signal to noise ratio, over 100 dB, and very low harmonic distortion percentage, like 0.000x %.

On eBay there is optical out to 3.5mm aux jack will this work or do I still need to buy the converter

[edbproductions]

Hi, I know this is a longshot but is there a way to go the other way. I have a projector with an aux port and a sound bar that has a broken aux port but an optical port. is there any way to go from aux input to optical output?

Ysss omg I've been searching for this a while now

[HeyitsLalalyka]

Hello! Will this work the other way around? My soundbar has the optical audio but my tv only has an aux port.

[karansachdeva]

Hey mate, your video is very helpful, but my sound bar has only optical toslink and my tv has aux only. can you use the same device for this purpose?

[Pete..]

Don't forget to buy an optical cable when you get the converter box and do yourself a favor and buy an extension cord or some double-sided sticky tape because that converter box is going to be lightweight and the plug that you plug into it and wires extra will pull it and I'll kinds of directions

i really thought it’d work but unfortunately it didn’t however thank you so much for this wonderful video

1 Question : My PC has 3.5mm jack output, and my Sound bar has Optical input. Can we use that Audio converter? But it seems we have to connect the opposite side i.e the input as output, the output as input in that Audio converter. Kindly reply. Thanks.

Hello so let me get this straight. My laptop has normal hdmi (not arc) and my soundbar has optical. So i can purchase an adapter like the one you showed where input is normal hdmi and output is optical and that will make my soundbar work with my pc? Thank yoy

[DiamondDepthYT]

Can I use a simple y adapter to connect my red and white cabled speaker to my TV's 3.5mm "headphones" jack??

[MARWAN]

Is it worth it ? I have jack to jack which works good for me. Can i get better audio with this method ?

[MrMacario]

Thank you for the information. I would have save a few bucks is I had seen this video before. The cable adapter that you mention on sec 35 it does exist. I just bought it on Amazon. I’m not sure if it was a scam because it does not work, and actually the 3.5 mm looks funny. Can you check if these kind of cables are real?

[mr.bitbaz]

good information's . but i have a question . can i use both output (aux & rca) in the same time ? for example for 2 headphone's or 1 headphone and one speaker ? cuz i already have an RCA to (female Aux) cable.

[dipakbharvad]
