Got it to work not sure how it’s working (see photos) connected HDMI e ARC from tv into HDMI eARC OUTPUT on converter and connected the optical cable and I now have sound. Set sound output on Tv to PCM Stero .I think the Sky Glass most need a signal to allow sound output.

I have a Playbase, which I find excellent and better sounding than the Beam. I discounted Sky Glass for many reasons and not having a dedicated optical out was one.

Have you tried the Sonos HDMI to Optical adapter? about £25 in the UK.

From what I’ve read “Use this cable to connect your soundbar to your TV's optical audio port” (Arc, Amp and Beam) I require to go from hdmi to optical I’ll keep searching

Was your extractor an HDMI extractor? That would be no good because it’s not an HDMI signal that is coming out of the TV. This might work. Can you choose to turn off eARC and output over HDMI-ARC?

Not something I have done myself so no guarantees.

Well it claims to do exactly what you want, So when you say it doesn’t work, you mean just silence? You do have the eARC output selected in the TV settings?
