Am I missing something or????
How to hook up a SONOS playbar to some of the newer 4K TV's that don't seem to have optical inputs? Or am I missing something here?

HDMI/optical splitter? Different soundbar with HDMI input for ARC? Different 4K TV with optical output?
Does it have analog stereo input? Most sets still have a headphone jack output, might work in a pinch.

nope This is incorrect. They pass Dolby. It's an option in the menu. I've used it for both sizes of their curved and for The new (2014) 85 inch.

The new (2014) 85 inch. No sir. They do not pass Dolby digital from an HDMI input. They output Dolby digital from the internal OTA tuner and from built in apps. But they do NOT pass DD from an HDMI input.

There is an app called Sonos Display. This will read to you on your ipad/iphone what the actual soundbar is decoding. It is say 2-ch, Dolby Digital etc.

Sonos settings - About - the playbar will be in the list and it will show if it is being fed stereo or DD.

There is no truth anymore. Only assertions. The internet world has no interest in truth, only vindication for preconceived assumptions. |

I think the original question needed more clarity. It does "pass" DD in the sense that it outputs DD from the internal sources like Netflix. This makes sense. It doesn't pass DD from HDMI and then output it to optical. I feel like this is a no brainer. It's not a receiver or a video switcher. Do you really expect it to have this function? It's not an HDMI-downmixing chasis card from Savant or something. Come on guys. You are asking a little much. Why would you hook up equipment this way. If you want DD, get a receiver. As a passing note, do you think your Sonos sound bar is giving you dolby digital? Even if you feed it opti from a tv, you aren't getting DD. You are getting sonos matrix / sonos (best guess) processing. It's still pretty good, but it's not true discrete. Last time I checked the DD spec, they don't have anything standard (or listing for that matter) for wireless rears (or really for a soundbar in general). So i guess the original question, does Samsung output DD from opti when feeding it DD from HDMI, the answer is not only no, it's moot. You aren't getting DD from your Sonos or really any other device that isn't a receiver. In case you think I am just being pompous, which I am not, please show me the DolbyD logo on the Sonos box or equipment.......

If you feed Sonos DD direct from the source, it does play it in DD. As mentioned above, it will even tell you so in the info screen within the sonos app. On October 23, 2014 at 19:55, SysIntegration said...
