While I could write about some hdmi audio extractor, etc, the problem is the missing model numbers of TV and DVD player. Even so, supply the manual to the DVD player for members to see what options it has.
Hi. I am sure this question will be easy for everybody, but for the life of me I cannot figure it out and have been looking online for 4 days now to find a definitive solution. I have very basic equipment, nothing nice at all. I simply want sound from my fire tv (NOT firestick) and XBOX one to come out of my 2.1 sound "system" via Optical/HDMI (hope that made sense)
My equipment is as follows:
- Samsung TV - 2 x HDMI inputs & 1 x Optical output
- DVD Player/receiver "sound system" - 1 HDMI Input & 1 x Optical output (old crappy 2.1 system)
- Fire TV - 1 x HDMI Output
- XBOX One - 1 x HDMI Input & 1 x HDMI output & 1 x Optical Output
So, that's it. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
