Optical into BS3 with sky Q

14 replies

So i cannot get digital sound from my sky q optical output. If i use a optical to 2 phono i get stereo sound. If i connect my DVD 1 i get sound.

So what am i doing wrong?

Just use an optical to coaxial converter. Then several soundformats will pass and decoded by the BS3. But if the output from the Sky box is DD+, then the BS3 won't decode.

Thanks for that info. Ive tried a coaxial converter, still get no sound. Changed from DD to DD+, still doesn’t work.
