The HDMI connection to the ARC/eARC TV connection would give you a better connection with more functionality. Think Dolby Atmos...

And the volume control that isn’t carried by optical ;)

As mentioned above, HDMI is the better option for the beam but for those of us with either the Playbar or, as is my case, the Playbase you need to dig down through the external devices settings to get the remote working better. You can also train another remote such as the apple tv remote.
