Hi,
I am trying to connect a Gen 1 Beam to an older style display monitor that has analog RCA out (and no HDMI ARC), to an Analog to Digital Converter to the small digital audio TOSlink/HDMI adapter (that comes with the Beam) to HDMI cable into the Beam.
Display RCA Out => ADC convertor => Beam digital audio/HDMI adapter cable => HDMI cable => Beam
No success.
I definitely have an RCA out signal from the display. I have tested this by connecting directly to an old Receiver.
The Beam setup does not find the signal.
Has anyone successfully used this configuration? There are no success (or unsuccessful stories) I can find online.
I can’t understand why it wouldn’t work (however messy it may seem). The older style display monitor is of excellent quality and is a shame I can’t use my Beam with it for some decent sound. I use an Amazon Firestick in the Display to stream Netflix, Prime, Spotify and the local terrestrial TV channels that are available via each station’s App installed to the Firestick. It’s almost a perfect integration of old & new if only I could get the Beam to detect the converted RCA analog to digital audio signal via the TOSlink connector.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
