Connect it with Bluetooth, brainlet.

hi-fi fags shill DACs for this all the time
Caleb Morris
I'm most playing going to be using it for Switch gameplay, there is no Bluetooth for it.
Brayden Hughes
Bump.

No HDTV I have ever seen only has TOSLINK. You can always get a RCA stereo plug to 3.5mm stereo jack.
Andrew Turner
an optical dac from hifimediy. it comes with the toslink cable you need. $59 plus shipping.
Jayden Butler
This is all I got. It's bare.
Anthony Moore
I was gonna make a new thread, but this seems a good place to ask maybe.
Can I hook up a console via HDMI, then connect a speaker system to my TV via optical and have the console sound go to the speakers?
I have no idea how the audio systems work.

Pic related except you should use a female 3.5 mm jack

Converters on Amazon for like $20

You must have not seen many new HDTV's. Most major brands these days don't even have proper RCA plugs at all. Samsung uses 3.5mm to RCA adapters for the inputs and doesnt even have RCA outputs at all and hasn't for years.
The image in the OP's picture though looks European and has RCA outputs, therefore all OP needs is an RCA to 3.5mm adapter that can be had anywhere for like $5.

That's the TV.

Samsung TV's don't have any analog outputs and haven't for years.
Your only option is an Optical to Analog converter in a stand alone unit or a receiver. I have an old Sony receiver I bought in 2003 that still works as my headphone amp perfectly.
Robert Moore
Get something like Fiio D3
Blake Lopez
Generally simpler to use the TV as the switch in my opinion. That would be all inputs to the tv and just optical to the receiver.
Brandon Peterson
rca to 3.5mm...
easy
Aiden Reyes
Does that work fine? Like, if I hook up my laptop to my TV via HDMI, will the digital out still carry the full 5.1 signal?

Thomas Rogers
Do I look like a goddamn audio DAC salesman that's tried every device out on the market? Figure it out yourself.
