SONOS PLAYBAR OPTICAL TO HDMI

Hi, i’ve tried researching and can’t seem to find my answer. i have a playbar and the optical pin on the tv has broken. Does the hdmi / optical converter cable work? i can’t get it to. Any other options ?

No, as has already been pointed out the adapter is from optical to HDMI-ARC.

Is there a headphone outlet, or any other analog out?

Just looking at your photo, the optical output seems to be working. If the optical connector is physically not locking into place, you may be able to fashion some sort of anchor scheme. One thought is to wrap some stiff wire around the optical plug to form a ‘T’, then anchor the ‘T’ to the back of the TV with tape. If you are careful, you could use sheet metal screws to anchor the ‘T’.
