Recently sat down to watch a movie, and could not get my surround sound working. Made sure all the settings were correct on the TV, etc. but was getting no sound when switching to 'optical out'. The receiver was working, as could run the test tone through the speakers.
I did notice that when plugged into my amp, the other end of the optical cable did NOT have a light coming out of it. I switched the cable, and also tried changing themc around, but whichever was the opposite end to that plugged into the amp, I was not getting the little red light.
I was therefore wondering if there is an issue with the connection in the amp itself - should I always get a light at the end of an optical cable not plugged into a device? I tried plugging it into my PS4 and got the red light with no issues, so assume it must be the optical port itself on the amp/receiver.
