SOLVED: E-Arc to Optic Extractor

I just upgraded my TV to a new Samsung and wanted to connect my older Playbar. 

 

New TV does not have optical audio, so I needed an E-ARC > Optical extractor to convert the TV audio to a signal the Playbar can read. 

 

I searched for info but was unable to find much. Any links to converters were UK Amazon links and unavailable US. I’m posting this in hopes that anyone else can save the headaches I encountered.  

 

If you are looking to do the same thing, this is the only converter that seems to function with Sonos: amazon.com/dp/B0FKBB22SP?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

Do you specifically search for eARC? Because the “e” in eARC is used for formats that cannot be sent via optical, an ARC to optical converter will be enough.
