I have a Samsung UN40EH5300 television, which has optical audio output. I am trying to connect it to an old receiver with analog audio input (2-channel, not 5.1). I bought a converter box for about $35, and this worked fine.
Until it stopped working. Not sure what happened, maybe a software update? Anyway, I tried replacing the converter, and the optical cable. I have spent MANY hours on the phone with Samsung support. No joy.
The 3rd-level support person finally said that what I was trying to do was unsupported (!) and that I needed to connect to a receiver with optical input. Which sounds an awful lot like "I don't know, go away."
Any ideas how to get external audio?
