I am definitely outputting in PCM and for can't seem to get any sound at all. Tried with optical output from both the tv and ps4. Nothing.

I sent this back with the same problem and bought this which worked perfectly for me Orei DA21X Premium Optical SPDIF/Coaxial Digital to RCA L/R Analog... but I was hooking up to the optical audio out to it and into a wireless headphone RCA L/R connection and they work perfectly now.

it does not work with any of the streaming apps that you get from your tv wifi.

I tried the exact same thing. It doesn't work because this product is not as described. The title states digital to analog conversion but it is actually vice versa. It is an Analog to digital adapter. I would get my money back if I were you.

Digital to analog conversion rarely works, it is better to get a digital sound box

Check the tv menu for audio options. Maybe there is an option to send the sound to external speakers that may need to select or enable. Make sure you are connecting the wires to the audio out jack and not accidentally into some other jacks.

Check your graphics card. I have a Radeon that transfers sound through the dvi to HDMI adapter.

I had the same issue on my Sony TV until I changed the TV output to 'Audio System' rather than front speakers. Have a look in your TV settings

As long as you can set your TV audio to PCM output ... Here's the review I wrote (upon returning the item): There's nothing in the listing about needing to set TV to "PCM Output only," and that's only possible in some settings on the TV, not for streaming, which was why I purchased this - to be able to use headphones when watching programs while my wife reads. Then, when it arrived, I saw a sticker on the converter and separate "notice" that both say the converter "will only work with PCM Output." (That's "pulse-code modulation" by the way, a form of sampling.)

I did have some issues linking a console (PS3) and the Denon... audio lag audio and other stuff... i managed to left everything right connecting Audio via optic cable and video through HDMI. Hope This helps!

Does your receiver have an "optical" output? If it does, try hooking that to the Soundbar. Have an HDMI and an Optical hooked up and they both work fine . . . . .

Hi Led-Head: As Anupam describe instructions below you also have to set your PS3 settings (Audio Settings) to the proper channels (either optical or component). I have both 360 and PS3 both hook up optical audio and PS3 was a little bit clear on the sound department. Video dept were the same (blue-ray and hd-dvd). Hope that helps!

Check your TV settings and look for your audio settings. Make sure the output is set to PCM as this box can't convert other signals and is usually the cause of this problem.

Did you get it? I have one of them, it doesn't work. Neither do 3 others I have tried in the last week though, so I think I have a bad sound card. Sorry - I think it worked alright before it stopped working, but I could not swear it and I have a PC. Good luck.

Just thought I'd let you people know I just got my 40" Sony XBR4 hooked up and I couldn't hear the fans. I watched an entire Blu-ray movie and a little bit of regular TV programming and yet still no fan noise. Then I turned the Input to an unused one so I was sure no sound would be produced from the speakers to check the fans... still, completely silent. Maybe I got lucky... or maybe Sony fixed the problem by the time I ordered mine. Dunno.

are your other inputs working? Are you sure your in the right ports and have the light lit for the port your in? If so, check your cables. I have no problem with my ps4 hooked through it

i just received my converter, plugged it into my computer monitor (with HDMI) and the picture/ sound cuts in and out. The Monitor says "no input detected". i wait a few seconds and it comes back. I wonder if mine is defective?

Make sure your input src is clean. If you pass through the tv it may not work, get audio straight from the sat box or whatever and make sure that outputs dolby 5.1.

Hi Notorious A.G.A, Did you succeed receiving sound from TV to external speakers using an optical cable? It doesn't seem to work for me. I'm using "External Speakers" setting in the TV with the receiver powered on. I hear nothing.

I have the same issue too. I tried to update the sound drivers to see if that would help. It didn't.

I also had the same dilema, hooking up my xbox and cable box to the reciever. I ran the HDMI from both to my tv, ran an optical out from tv to sony reciever and had awesome sound.. Does kind of suck that there are no HDMI inputs but I still made it work for me.
