On my six yr old Magnavox, the only sound OUT other than the headphone jack, is a digital optical audio jack. So bear with me....I bought an extractor from Amazon.....the first one. That was before I even found the digital optical audio OUT jack. Anyway, I had the extractor hooked up directly to my Blu-ray player and got wonderful stereo from the RCA OUT jacks to my stereo receiver.
After I found the digital optical audio jack, I bought another extractor. This time it had digital optical audio IN side x side with HDMI IN. I thought this was exactly what I needed. It had two HDMI OUTs and the RCA OUTs. BUT.....the digital optical audio was dead to the RCA jacks. To verify that my TV's output was working, I bought a soundbar with digital optical audio IN. Worked fine on the TV's PCM sound setting. Sooooo....figuring my extractor was faulty, I returned it back to Amazon.
I promise this post is coming to an end.....Next replacement extractor did the same thing....no audio through the RCA OUTs from the digital optical audio IN. Goal is to input an extractor with both HDMI from my Blu-ray and digital optical audio from the TV. I use two different HDMI inputs for that into the TV, so no conflict there.
IS THERE such an extractor??
