Hi Guys. I wonder if anybody knows of a proven device that converts the sound from an HDMI cable (Dolby Digital 5.1c) to Optical Cable (Dolby Digital 5.1). Problem is my Panasonic TV is 10 years old and does not recognise 5.1 inputs via HDMI although it does output it via the apps like netflix. As the TV is 10 years old it will not recognize the 5.1 etc from my Amazon Fire stick and my surround system does not have HDMI, only Optical Input. Hence I want to connect and HDMI cable from my Fire Stick to a device that can have an optical output that carries 5.1 to my surround system. I have seen a few things on the internet but I am a bit wary about what they can do. Any advice would be great. Cheers
