Hi

I got the Sonos playbar with optical in and output, with this I can’t get Dolby Atmos. Is there a way to convert optical to hdmi? Converter? And then get Dolby Atmos? 
Let me know and if there’s any place I can buy this. 
 

Thanks

The Sonos Playbar cannot do Atmos, you’re right. This is not only because it is connected via optical, but also because the speaker is technically incapable of processing Atmos content - it does not have de computing hardware, nor the speakers to play Atmos. If you want Atmos on Sonos, you need an Arc or a Beam (Gen 2).

I’m a bit puzzled by your description “the Sonos playbar with optical in and output”. As far as I know all Sonos soundbars only have inputs, no outputs.
