Bought a new bit of kit which has no optical out.
This messes up my setup which was a satellite receiver with optical out and media streamer with optical out going to an optical switch. The HQ (the 4 port in with optical and hdmi . . and 2 outputs out in optical and hdmi)
Had just the 2 optical's into the switch and the one optical out to a surround system with that set constantly to digital in for the surround sound
It occurred to me that I use the HQ 4 port switch with as I said optical and hdmi in
But when I try and use the hdmi in's I dont get picture or sound . . it only seems to work with the optical audio only as a switch ???
which as Ive said my new kit doesnt have . .
Does anyone know:
1. How to fix a HQ 4 port hdmi and optical switch to use hdmi also and not just the optical audio ?
2. Recommend a piece of kit that can use just the hdmi cables (are hdmi cables 5.1 sound?) and has at least 2 inputs for hdmi ? and a optical out from it to plug into the input of my surround sound system ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
