I have bought a toslink converter to coaxial but I'm getting no sound from my sound bar ?

Solution
The last thing I'd check make sure that coax is REALLY a Digital Out, there should be ONLY ONE such jack, if you see 2 jacks like a pair, is not digital.
Some TVs you have to go to the menu and explicitly tell it to "use external speakers" and also there can be a setting nearby for PCM/Surround, try both.
 


I've tried it and it hasn't worked what am I supposed to do ?
