Hardware Nintendo switch to speakers with optical input

[RyoX9]

The only input my audio sound bar can connect is digitial optical cable or bluetooth, i dont have any issue connecting it to my ps4 as it has optical out but switch i am unable, is there a recommended converter to connect switch via 3.5mm aux to my optical input soundbar?

You can use any generic HDMI to HDMI/optical out splitter.

Grab one now as they’re going to be more in demand when the PS5 drops.

my tv has an optical output and all sound goes out to an optical output. so a box isn't needed. most modern TVs can do this.

this is how I have mine setup. my receiver is pretty ancient, so I use one of those. it's unplugged currently 'til I can glue this part that fell off of my entertainment center. it goes from my framemeister to that optical//hdmi out box. pretty inexpensive too. no need for high end convertors or anything. once we get new carpets, the entertainment center is going to go, so I can get a bigger than 32" tv. right now, I"m using a 28 inch one. the receiver will be retired then too. then, I can finally sell some gaming systems that I don't play like the 360 and ps3.
