Hi guys new to forum and sonos in general. I’m having an issue with my new sonos playbar transcoding DD/AC3. Currently getting no sound and any help is appreciated. To note I am using an htpc with hdmi into a hdmi and toslink splitter (link here https://www.amazon.com/TOSLINK-Optical-E...B01K7BZ1XC) with hdmi out going to TV arc hdmi port and spdif out going to playbar. I also only have playbar so far and not 5.1.

Settings on Samsung TV are external speakers and PCM audio output as that’s all it allows me to choose when selecting external speakers.

Thanks for any help as not sure if it’s the splitter, TV, Htpc, or playbar causing the issue. One final note is I have ARC deselected on the splitter as I didn’t think I wanted that if trying to just use audio through spdif...even if i turn that on it doesn’t do anything. Sonos app shows silence as the audio format.

Thank you
