I did misspeak a bit there. A couple of them do have Toslink, and I bought a digital to analog converter to use with my analog speakers and it was the worst experience I’ve ever had. I could never get the audio to work correctly. Was always cutting out, producing digital fry, and all sorts of other fun annoyances that I would have to fix on the fly. I gave up on any further effort after that.
I do know that there are HMDI audio extractor thingies out there. Might try one in the living room that’s part of an HDMI splitter. Well, more like a selector so I only have to run one cable into the TV instead of multiple.
(My electronic shelving is a few feet away from the TV so easier to hide one cable VS multiple.)
Huh, that’s the first I’ve heard of stripping an audio signal from an HDMI cable. Makes since though, it’s just digital audio going through copper none the less. What’ll they think of next?
