Hello All,

I am trying to connect my Sonos Ray to Samsung 55 inch DU6900 TV which does not have optical port.

Is there a converter which will convert from optical to HDMI earc port?

currently the Sonos ray and the TV are not communicating and the TV does not detect the sonos ray.

thank you

You want a device that converts eARC to optical. Look on Amazon. There are several available.

Never tried one. Just read about it somewhere. There is a link in another topic. Not sure if it works.

The SONOS optical adapter will send HDMI-ARC audio to RAY. Note that an optical connection is only one-way, it’s not possible for RAY and the TV to have a dialog. This is not a major issue because RAY can be configured to automatically default to TV audio and accept Volume commands from an IR remote.

Edit: I’ve got this backwards. This will not work. Thanks 106rallye.

@buzz Sonos says this about the optical adapter: “Use this cable to connect your soundbar to your TV's optical audio port.” Are you saying it works the other way around too (form HDMI to optical)?

I think the Sonos adapter is intended for use with a Beam or Arc and a television that lacks HDMI-ARC but has optical out. I don't think it meets the OP's requirements.
