Using an optic splitter
I would like to listen to my TV from my SONOS Playbase but I also have a Bang and Olufsen Beosystem with speakers that I can connect to the optical OUT of my TV. Can I use a Splitter to choose my TV sound? Any kind of splitter ?

An active splitter ideally. Passive splitters reduce the light intensity in the fibre by 50%, but you might be able to get away with one.
Thank you for your help! I had bought a switch with 2 IN and 1 OUT but that didn’t work. I am not technically minded and was told by a shop that that was the way. ...but that was wrong! WhatsApp is an active vs passive splitter by the way?
The shop supplied you with a switch not a splitter. A splitter has one IN and two (or more) OUTs.
'Active' means that the box needs power, in order to receive and retransmit the optical signal.

Yes. They gave me the wrong advice obviously. Thank you again!
