Beovision 7-40 audio with HDMI

14 replies

I need help once again.

So I bought toslink to coaxial converter(https://www.amazon.nl/gp/aw/d/B00LPHJMII/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

Plugged everything in and of course it's not working.

As you can see in the pictures I plugged toslink to ps4 and converter, then coax to TV audio socket 1 and plugged converter with micro USB to ps4 for power. Chose input switch to toslink.

On settings I choose audio socket 1 for dtv(I use dtv because with PC I don't get video even when I choose dvi-i for HDTV)

And then of course when I power everything it's not working.

Any idea why? I'm getting mega frustrated.

My initial thought maybe that the power output from the PS4 may not be enough to power the convertor.

I don't know much about PS4 but is it automatically outputting sound to Toslink or are there any settings in the menus you need to change to say output sound via Toslink and not HDMI? (Or output sound to both?)

A google search found this

If you connect a device such as an AV amplifier for a home cinema system to the PS4 system's DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) port, you can manually change the audio output setting. To adjust settings, select Sound and Screen > Audio Output Settings > Primary Output Port > DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL).

Tried to power it with power brick and look through all the settings still nothing.

Anyway thanks for the help but it finally broke me completely so I went and bought a new TV.
