So I made a pretty big error in buying an LG Soundbar on a whim as a gift for my partner, only to discover that my TV (mentioned in subject) has no audio out.
I've read about this HDMI splitter with a digital optical cable output that might be able to solve the challenge? Some say it works, some say it doesn't.
To be honest (obviously, since I didn't research this as thoroughly as I thought I would need to) I'm terrible with all of this audio/video jargon and tech, so what seems simple just somehow isnt for me.
For me, I like to think this is a pretty easy yes or no, as I have NO other devices connected. I just have simple Freeeview TV, a Chromecast (ok so that's kind of one other device) and want better sound quality.
It's going to be tricky trying to return it to the retailer in question, so if there's any way to get this to work, that would be more than ideal!
