Question

playing tv sound via ethernet to sonos amp

Hello. 
 

first question here and hoping I explain it correctly. 

I have two outdoor speakers that work great for streaming music through pandora and Amazon using the Sonos app. I have them connected to my Sonos (gen 1 - the white one) Amp. 

I recently installed a TV in the same outdoor area and I’d like the TV to output sound through the same speakers. 

I purchased this (J-Tech Digital Optical/Coaxial Digital Audio Extender/Converter Over Single Cat5e/... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07G5NQCK7/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_c_api_i_EnuiEbZ65PEEA) hoping it would solve this for me, but no luck.

I connected the device to the Sonos Amp Analog Audio In. 

here’s the path:

TV optical out to J-tech Receiver optical in and Cat6 out to jtech transmitter Cat6 in and coax audio out to Sonos Analog Audio In.

I also tried the exact reverse/mirror.

Hoping this makes sense and thanks in advance for any help the community can provide.
