Solved! connecting headphone to tv issue

[NoClue321654]

I wanted to hook up headphones to my LG TV model 75UK6190PUB TV, which doesn't have a headphone jack or analog audio out, only a digital optical audio out. Spent ages on the internet researching all this and then went out and bought a digital analog converter and Toslink cable. The headphones are Sennheiser model R120 and worked fine when hooked up to analog on my old LG. I have digital audio output because there is red light on cable. I hooked the analog cable properly and get no signal. Any suggestions?

Here are specs on converter :

• Digital to Analog Audio Converter: Converts coaxial or toslink digital audio signals to analog L/R RCA and 3.5mm(headphone) Jack audio
• Supports Sampling Rate at 32KHz, 44.1KHz, 48KHz and 96KHz; 24-bit S/ PDIF Incoming Bit Stream on Left and Right Channels
• Supports Uncompressed 2-channel LPCM or PCM Digital Audio Signal Output; Provides Electromagnetic-noise-free Transmission(5.1 channel is incompatible, please set the audio output to PCM or LPCM）
• Input Audio Connector: 1 x Toslink, 1 x RCA (Coaxial); Output Audio Connector: 2 x RCA(R/L), 1 x 3.5mm Jack; Powered by 5.5mm USB Power Cable (POWER ADAPTER IS NOT INCLUDED); Do Not Use Other Plugs, It Can Only Use 5V 1A Plug

Thanks

That DAC doesn't support 5.1 bitstream audio. You will need to change the audio to PCM stereo in the TV audio menu.
