Solved! Android MXQ SPDIF 3.5mm to Coaxial Soundbar

[everythingdan]

Hey guys,

I am currently using an MXQ Android TV Box that has a 3.5mm SPDIF jack that I am connecting to my Soundbar Coaxial but I am not getting any sound even after setting Digital Output in the TV Box. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

Cable i'm using: https/www.aliexpress.com/item/Green-av132-millet-tv-coaxial-audio-cable-amplifier-spdif-line-digital-3-5-rca-lotus/32608345441.html?spm=2114.13010608.0.0.132dhb

My Soundbar: Philips HTL2163

Use a mono 3.5mm jack not a stereo one.

Audio noob here, can you elaborate a bit more or show me an example of the item i should be looking for?

The cable you have pictured has 3 sections on the tip. You need one that has only 2.

That cable is waaay too fancy!

I concur that you don't need that cable. Most coaxial audio cables are RCA to RCA. You can use a standard MONO 3.5mm to RCA adapter for the MXQ end.

Just so I don't get this wrong again,

All I need is something like this - https/www.aliexpress.com/item/High-Quality-Stereo-Digital-Coaxial-Audio-Video-Rca-Cable-Male-to-Male-Gold-Plating-Hifi-Subwoofer/1733625942.html?spm=2114.13010608.0.0.uFvUzs and http/www.monoprice.com/product?c_id=104&cp_id=10429&cs_id=1042902&p_id=7146&seq=1&format=2
