The subject Samsung TV does not natively support Optical output thus making it initially a non-starter for the Sonos Ray or discontinued Sonos Playbar / Playbase. However, the converter shown in this Link may make connection to the Ray and/or Playbar / Playbase possible.
I cannot guarantee it will work but the cost ($20_USD) to try it and then return it if not successful is IMO minimal. If you try it please report back in this thread with your results.
Interesting. I’m curious if it downmixes Atmos content over Arc to some format the Sonos devices can read across a TosLink connection. It does mention DTS as an available output, but it doesn’t say what it does to Atmos input.
I’m also semi-concerned that at least one of those pictures suggests the output side has a label of Toalink, rather than TosLink.

I see your concern. However, the picture on the actual website shows the port labeled/spelled correctly. May have been a glitch in the snippet I took.
As mentioned in other posts, the below item worked brilliantly for connecting my Playbar’s optical to the TV’s HDMI-eARC port (in my case, a Samsung TV).
The Optical cable goes from the soundbar (could be Playbar or Ray) to the extractor, then HDMI from the extractor to the TV’s HDMI-eARC or HDMI-ARC port.
The TV’s audio output should be set to Receiver, although this might happen automatically.
It supports full 5.1 Dolby surround on Sonos soundbar + surround systems.
