Hello,
I am trying to set up my entertainment system the following way.
Also note my HI-FI system is totally analog with RCA receivers (Red and White Sound inputs) I'm using sort of an adapter that changes the Optical output from my TV to Analog.
SETUP
Laptop HDMI OUT to LG TV > LG TV OPTICAL OUT to HI-FI system.
However the above setup does not work as sound does not come at all through the home theatre system, if I were to change the sound output on the TV from OPTICAL to TV Speaker I can hear the playback.
I use the same method for my Bluray Player in a similar way with success
Bluray HDMI OUT to LG TV > LG TV OPTICAL OUT to HI-FI unit this works like a charm.
Why doesn't my laptop have the same effect?
How can I get my laptop sound to playback in the manner described above?
I can also grab a cable that can connect my headphone jack on my laptop to the HI-FI system.
But I would very much appreciate if I can get playback from the manner described above.
