Reddit reviews Fosmon HD8023 Digital Optical Toslink (SPDIF) Coax to Analog (L/R) RCA Audio Converter & 3.5mm Stereo Audio Jack

You could try this audio digital-to-analog converter.

Use the optical Toslink out from the console and plug headphones into converter.

That's basically how I play except I have my x41 transmitter as the converter. The only issue might be volume. The x41 transmitter is powered but features a volume knob for the headphones out. I don't see that for the d/a converter.

I don't experience any audio lag through my setup.

E/ You might also need an in-line volume control or headphones with one built in. All together, you should be able to get setup for around $30. Good luck.

yeah the [optical audio adapter to RCA is gonna be the cheapest and most effective.] (https://www.amazon.com/Fosmon-HD8023-Digital-Optical-Converter/dp/B00KCRYIWM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1485097522&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=Optical+audio+to+RCA+adapter&psc=1) It'll be direct to the board and wont go out of sync with the video from the projector.

Try this but it doesn't come with a TOSLINK cable so that's extra but has both RCA and 3.5mm

Here's the TOSLINK cable you'd need to connect that DAC to the Xbox One.

If it's a modern TV it probably doesn't have RCA Audio Outputs, but only RCA Audio Inputs, which may be why what you are doing seems to be working in reverse.

Most manufacturers have pretty much have done away with RCA Audio Outputs and only have a Toslink (Optical) Audio Output. I've had to help a lot of people with this quirk.

Check to see if your TV has one of these on the back of it somewhere.

If so then you will need one of these...

Ignore the Coaxial and RCA ports and connect the unit from your TV to your speakers like this.

Otherwise I don't know how to help you.

If you already have speakers lying around you can use this http://www.amazon.com/Fosmon-Digital-Analog-Converter-Adapter/dp/B00KCRYIWM/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1452757272&sr=8-8&keywords=optical+speakers

Basically you hook Xbox to this with optical, then your speakers to the other side if this with 3.5mm or rca cables.

Otherwise you can get a pair of speakers with an optical audio port to connect direct to the Xbox for about 50-60$ starting on average.

Thanks for your quick replies! Do you think my static will disappear then, considering it is now a digital output from my motherboard first?

Also, do you think this will do just as well? I'm suggesting this one because of the 3.5mm jack, as I already have an adapter for that to go into my speakers, and will just save having to get additional cables.

What you want is to use the optical digital out on your ps4 and connect something like

the required cable https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Digital-Optical-Audio-Toslink/dp/B00NH11H38

To get Ethernet and analog output, you're best bet is (alas) a Roku Ultra -- it has an Ethernet port and an optical audio output that you can convert to RCA via a box like this one https://www.amazon.com/Fosmon-HD8023-Digital-Optical-Converter/dp/B00KCRYIWM.

If you could use Wifi, you could go with a Roku Express+ (only at Walmart) which has A/V outputs, but no Ethernet port.

What about something like this.

Convert your Optical to RCA or 3.5mm. RCA to speakers if you have any around that support it, or you could use the Headphone jack with an auxiliary cable as well.

Rocksmith isn't very stressful as far as PC specs, and you can turn down the graphics levels. That said, the PS4 version at half off is as cheap as a cable, so there's no reason not to get that one.

The Steam sale has started, with Rocksmith Remastered for $16. So for $46, you could have both including the cable.

You may also need something like this for the PS4 if your sound system doesn't take optical in. You can get a lot of lag if you just use HDMI to your TV for sound. I bought the one linked, but I've seen others closer to $10. I've heard that the new PS4s don't have optical audio out anymore. In that case, you may need to use HDMI, I don't know what other options there are.

so you can use your own speakers https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002BSQUI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

DAC for AppleTV https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KCRYIWM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I'm guessing the TV is the source of the audio, and you're not running from a Cable box/ media box.

You could get something like this

You may end up with a touch of delay (Especially noticeable if you use the TV speakers at the same time) with this setup, and i'm not sure how much of an improvement over straight 3.5 to RCA splitter from the tv would be.

This might be an option. I am not sure they make an actual cable or inline adapter for what you are trying to do.

This is definitely possible, but you may run into some problems with digital signals vs. analog ones. Mixers, at least economical ones, are generally analog. Whereas TVs are mostly digital these days.

Where are the Youtube videos coming from? If you're using a Youtube app on a smart TV, you'll need to make sure that the TV has an analog output, so that you can route the Youtube audio from the TV, to the mixer, then to the soundbar via its analog input. If the TV doesn't have an analog output but does have a Toslink output (either optical or coax electrical), you can get a device like this D-to-A converter to fix that.

Of course, if the videos are coming from your laptop or something, you can just run audio from your laptop to the mixer and then to the soundbar.

I have my headphones plugged into my TV. The PS4 has an optical cable jack, you can use this to connect your 3.5mm directly to the console.

I see your problem. Your TV only seems to have TOSlink audio output - the model I googled had a headphone jack but that doesn't seem to be the case with yours. Do you happen to have an old receiver with TOSlink inputs? That would be a clunky solution, but it would work.

Otherwise a device like this will work:
