Has anyone found a solution to playing audio from a MacBook Pro to the Playbar?
I have not found much for 3.5mm to Optical Audio adapters or anything for usb-c. My particular MacBook is the 2019 16”.

Since you list a One and a Play:5/g2 in your system the simplest option would be to Airplay from the Mac to either and group it with the Playbar.
If video/audio sync is required you may need to wire the Mac directly. You could use the laptop’s headphone jack, wired to an ADC (analog-digital converter), which can then send optical to the Playbar. If the Playbar is already connected to a TV it would make sense to get an optical switch to flip between the two sources.
Any analog-to-digital converters you could link? I have primarily seen digital to analog converters.

There could well be more. None should cost more than $20.
A further option, should you not wish to be tethered by a cable, is to Bluetooth from the Mac to a Bluetooth receiver that possesses an optical output.
