Simultaneous audio through optical and analog?

[brian fox]

I would like to play sound simultaneously through my sound bar (Toslink optical connection) and through surround speakers (analog connections). Is there a receiver or splitter that would allow me to do this?

Try one of these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tendak-Optical-Extractor-Converter-Splitter/dp/B00Y0920B4
Just be aware, that you MAY get differing sound latency between the analogue output, and the Optical digital.

Hope this helps!

You will need a way to process surround sound for the analog speakers. Just duplicating the soundbar won't do that.
