How to connect Sonos Playbar with Samsung TV that has no digital optical output?

My Samsung TV does not have a digital optical port for me to connect the Sonos Playbar to. How can I connect my TV to my Playbar? I’ve been searching around that others said to use HDMI to digital audio adapter but what adapter do I get?

TV Model #: UN65KS850DFXZA

Thank you for answering my questions. I appreciate any help here.

Not sure where you are based but this was the optical switch I previously used with the Playbar.

    @Ken_Griffiths - I had one of the early Connect boxes so design may have changed in later versions. I always thought the point of the Connect box was to hide it out the way, rather than being out on show ie, needing line of sight for IR. I cant even remember if my Samsung TV remote actually worked for volume control. I always used the Sky remote for that.

      Its a spam post. The first bit is likely AI-generated (and wrong, as the Playbar doesnt support Arc) and the second is the actual spam nonsense.
