TNP Digital to Analog Audio Converter Box Adapter

[ChrisIX9]

Ok I bought TNP Digital to Analog Audio Converter Box Adapter and a digital coaxial cable. It's a very straight forward hook up. I ran the coaxial cable from the TV to the converter box coaxial input. The box has a red and white RCA output and a head phone jack. I am trying to get my TV to play through a set of self powered speakers. I plug the speakers in the headphone jack and all I get is a bunch of loud chatter. I do not know if my brand new TNP Digital to Analog Audio Converter Box Adapter is just bad or if something else is wrong. Any Ideas? This is the one I purchased.

Go into the TV audio menu and change the audio output type. It's likely that the DAC will only take 2 channel PCM. If you can't change it then you need a DAC that accepts 5.1 like this one.
