does this convert audio from a standard 3.5mm jack from a computer to optical audio to an hdtv?

In my experience, this only works if the 3.5mm jack is also optical audio as well. For example: I used this with the Apple Airport Express for audio.

This cable is specifically for the Mac Mini. The Mac mini headphone port doubles as an optical port with the use of this cable. Works flawlessly

From the user manual: "1.1 Features 1. Convert DTS/AC3 source digital audio to analog 2.0 ch stereo audio output" -- The device does this quite well, although I did have to trim back the sampling rate of the optical output on my computer a bit to avoid some distortion. However it sounds like this is not what you are looking for. What you want would be probably be a true decoder, which means plenty of $$$$

I don't believe so, at least not directly.The "audio out" on this set is a proprietary optical audio jack called TOS-LINK (abbreviated version of "Toshiba-Link"). A standard headphone jack (3.5mm) will not fit into, nor produce sound from a TOS-LINK jack.Your only hope, from what I can tell, would be to find an adapter cable with a male end to connect into the television's TOS-LINK outlet and a female end to connect your 3.5mm headphones into. A few quick Google searches didn't produce much of anything worthwhile, so the technology may not exist, but if you find out otherwise, be sure to share!

No but it has a digital audio output. This looks like a standard RCA jack, but are usually colored a kind of orange shade. You can get a digital audio output to analog converter for less than 50 bucks from several manufacturers. I have one from radio shack on my RCA TV and I can use my old analog stereo receiver and it sounds GREAT. The analog converter has the one input from the TV then the converter takes the digital signal and converts it to stereo then there are two outputs so you get great stereo sound. I haven't looked at this TV but I saw in the specs. that it has the optical digital audio out.

Yes; this will convert your PS3's component video output (cable with Red, Green & Blue jacks) to HDMI. Per the information available, you can get 1080p resolution from the component video cable.Note you can only get 2-channel stereo through this device. My recommendation for the audio is to use the optical audio output port, although you can only get 5.1 audio through the PS3's optical audio output port. If you must have 7.1 audio output for your home theater, that can only be achieved through the PS3's HDMI port.

This adaptor converts one end of a TOSlink cable (one form of S/PDIF) into a mini-TOSlink plug. Even though it looks a little like a 3.5mm jack, it's still an optical signal, so what ever you plan to plug it into has to be capable of receiving optical S/PDIF in its 3.5mm jack. For example Apple MacBooks have been capable of this for years. It doesn't convert optical/digital signal to analog sound.

no it comes with optical audio wire you plug in to your hd tv. this unit is for sound not video

Thank for your inquiry. The answer is no. Your TV can not transmit 5.1 channel audio from an HDMI digital source through the Optical connection.

Yes, the optical digital input has to be connected to a digital source. TVs nowadays all have these outputs. Some older TVs also have them as well. You can use the analog stereo mini Jack to connect to computers through the headphone / speaker line out.

Does your cable box have an optical out? If so you might be able to use that as your output to the sound bar.

No. This converts component video and S/PDIF Toslink to HDMI. If you have HDMI coming out of your computer, you don't need this to hook up to a TV. HDMI carries audio and video. But your computer must be HDCP-compatible.

Dear Denise,Thank you for your question regarding our Digital Optical Audio Toslink Cable. We would need to know the model of the TV and the converter box to give you a definite answer, but if the TV is providing digital audio output via TOSLINK and the converter accepts digital audio via TOSLINK this cable should be compatible.Please contact us at service@bluerigger.com if you have any additional questions.Thank You,BlueRigger LLCservice@bluerigger.com

Yes, the 3.5mm jack can be connected to a PC using either an analog, or appropriate mini Toslink (optical) cable.

No. This is simply to change the optical toslink from the larger, standard square male plug to the 3.5mm male plug. Both devices must have optical connections.

Yes. But not using the red and white wire , or hdmi , or coax or optical cable. It only accepts a 3.5mm headphone style jack on the front as the PC/AUX input. So you need to get whatever your tv puts out ( RCA, HEADPHONE, etc.) to 3.5mm at the other end.

No but there is a solution.The audio output is via stereo jack or the hdmi. What I did to have 5.1surround through a n optical cable was to connect the hdmi audio/video out to an hdmi / sprig (optical) splitter. You get as an output the hdmi signal + optical audio. I am using the viewHD splitter and it works perfectly

Yes, converts HDMI signal to Component and you can use the audio output of choice from the cable box
