I am trying to use this cable to connect my Bose speakers to my LG TV. TV has optical plug and Bose has Aux. Bought this to remedy. Not working?????

Either use a decoder in between or connect the speakers to the electrical line out on the tv.

Mike, If your Bose speakers do not have a Toslink connector part no. 27015 will not work. Most new TV's and high quality speakers include a toshlink connection. I suggest calling Bose and confirm which cable you need. My best guess without knowing your Bose part no. would be you an audio cable like the C2G part no. 40411.

I purchased for similar problem, did not work for me either, even with a splitter. If you find a way for this to work, I'd like to know

This is an optical toslink cable, thus the AUX must be toslink or mini-toslink type. It will not work for mini 3.5mm stereo interface

that was my experience; somewhere in the literature in fact says that if you use HDMI or Digital Optical cable, that you have to use the audio cable out as well (defeats the purpose of the HDMI or Digital Optical cable IMO), however it works well with that set-up

Hi, did this work? I have a set of surround computer speakers, with a headphone jack style output. Looking for a cable to plug them into my TV?

Bose is a different beast to the rest of the audio world!90% of the time you have to use Bose stuff to work with Bose stuff.I suggest you contact the manufacturing people of the devices ans see what they say...sorry

Something was wrong. I have been using mine flawlessly on my sony player. I started with the red and white audio outputs and then changed to the toslink optical cable. Remember that you are adding another volume control, and you need to enable the appropriate outputs.

Sounds dumb but hear me out! Perhaps you didn't fully insert the optical plug into the TV. This slipped me up when I first bought my optical cable years ago and again today with my new EX72. Either the plugs on my cable are a bit too big or the optical ports are crazy tight when they're still brand new, because they seem to have taken the plug, but it takes unreasonable force to get them to actually click in.

On our LG TV, I have to set the TV audio out to LG optical out and it works fine. The generic optical out gives only noise/static.

I was confused about this as well but it turned out to be pretty straightforward. Basically keep the 2 close to each other and make sure the Bose soundlink is in the pairing mode by holding the bluetooth button. You do not need to put in any code or anything it just pairs! Also it is important that your input is active, I was trying once with the input not connected to any music and it didn't work.

There are two specs for this kind of audio--optical and coaxial. The optical terminal is flat on three sides and curved on the fourth side. If both your TV and cable box have such inputs, this cable will work fine (although this particular one is only 3 feet long, I think). Coax inputs look more like normal RCA inputs (round)-if your digital connectors are coax this cable won't work for you. Best I can tell you without seeing your setup!

Yes this will work, I use it to come from my LG TV (1 optical out) to my center audio LG speaker system (1 Optical in, No out) to an Amp. Works great! Clear no distortion. Result was exactly what I wanted. Greatest result is there is no delay as you sometimes get when connecting to RCA out.

Agree with the above. First need to be sure signal is going through the cable. Make sure that the source is set to optical out.

Well, there is a connector that says AUX, so I assume that is what it is, for headphones or external speakers. I have not tried that yet, as I only wanted it for the bluetoothfeature from my tablet (Sony S). It worked well once, then it is intermittent (works SOMETIMES). I would definitely try something else, but that's me.

It worked for me using the optical TV source converting it into simple RCA analog left & right cables. -- Wish I could give your mine, having sold my all but this :-)

I actually bought this item. Thinking I was going to b able to use it with my bose portable speaker.. connecting to a samsung android cell. To listen to my music.. it did not work :(

I doubt you can plug in an optical cable - you may want to use a splitter if you wish to use more auxiliary devices. Since it's a computer multimedia speaker, it wasn't really designed for use with the PS3. What I did was plug an aux cable from the Bose to the monitor/tv that was hooked up to the PS3 via HDMI. Hope this helps!

This didn't work for me. I have a TV with a digital output and a sound bar with rca inputs and optical inputs. I ended up buying a digital to optical converter for twenty five bucks. It works good.

I have two BOSE speakers with a left and right cable, can i connect these cables to this adapter and then the adapter to my tv to get audio on my speakers from the tv?
