I’d like to stream videos from my laptop to a projector on my wall and am struggling to get good sound.
I’m currently streaming video from my MacBook Pro (2017) to a projector via HDMI, but the sound comes out of my MacBook Pro…. hence I need better sound and want to use the Playbar (Version 14.0).
I’ve tried multiple things and I can’t get the sound from my MacBook Pro to come out of the Sonos Playbar. Here’s what I tried (none worked):
- Adapter - connecting the toslink (digital optical cable) from my Sonos Playbar into my MacBook Pro’s headphone jack using an adaptor that converts one end of the toslink to 3.5)
- Bluetooth Receiver - connecting the toslink (digital optical cable) from my Sonos Playbar into a Bluetooth receiver while my MacBook is connected to the bluetooth receiver via bluetooth.
- Analog to Digital Converter - connecting the toslink (digital optical cable) from my Sonos Playbar through the converter, then connecting my MacBook to the other end of the converter via 1) 3.5 headphone cable on both ends; and/or 2) Red/White to 3.5 headphone jack. Neither worked.
I read online that an analog to digital converter should work, but I’m beginning to think this is impossible because there is no “line in” on a Playbar (at least I can’t find it in the app or otherwise).
Can anyone help?? thank you :)
