Does audio out to amp have to be optical?
If I use HDMI direct to my TV, I get video and audio. If I use HDMI into my amp and then out from amp to TV, I only get video, but no audio, so I have to use an optical cable. That works fine, but I ...
I have a mirror relay to second TV setup and a HDMI splitter and sound is carried to both TV locations from HDMI.
Does not make sense that you must use optical audio. But do not have any plugged in as I suspect that would disconnect audio to HDMI.
Yes, I take the optical cable away and no sound comes out of the amp, so the cable is not disabling the HDMI audio and as I say, audio passes through without issue for other devices. Anyway, you are confirming here that you use an amp and have audio from Telus box, to amp and out to speakers via HDMI only, that is, without an optical cable. Now I can go back to Telus and tell them another user confirms that. Thanks.
