Sonos AMP line in / hdmi audio problems from cable box

I have a Sonos amp powering to outdoor speakers. I want to be able to output audio from my cable box on my patio. Previously, I  Attached the HDMI cable from my cable box to an audio extractor in order to get an optic feed. I then used the Sonos optic feed to HDMI adapter to push audio to the amp. However, ever since updating to the new Sonos app this no longer works reliably. Most often the Sonos app does not seem to recognize any feed coming from the optical to HDMI Sonos adapter.

Does anyone have a similar set up and had any success with the new Sonos app getting audio to play either through the Sonos optical to HDMI adapter or the line in? At this point, I have bought three different audio extractor devices from Amazon with no luck. Thanks for any suggestions.

Check your cable box that the audio format is stereo or PCM and also check your audio extractor that it is in 2ch and that the output is optical.
