I was given a Sonos ray by a family member no cables, it only has optical output , my Samsung TV only has HDMI ports, can I use the Sonos optical to HDMI adapter that you can buy. Thanks

That adapter converts optical to ARC, not ARC to optical.


@Tchotchke,
What is the model of the Samsung TV?

There are TV HDMI-ARC audio extractors to convert the audio to Optical. A quick search of Amazon should find such devices

One such example I stumbled upon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Extractor-Converter-Optical-Splitter-Gray-metal-shell/dp/B09173FVNQ


Thank you Ken for your reply,  I  took the tv down off the wall with some help instead of a sideways look at the ports and found one hidden by cables . Off to buy an optical cord now .

The Ray comes with an optical cable.


I was not the original owner, it was given to me without any cords, optical cord isn’t dear to buy, was thankful for the gift


For future readers: the optical connection on the Ray is an input, not an output.
