Optical out to my DAC

Yes and no if you take the optical output from the tv then into the dac you will get soundfrom the dac but you will not be able toget sound out-of-the- tv as you will have to deactivate the tvs speakers to get the optical out to work

So you can get either or but not both

Yes, for a while I used the optical from my TV to feed my 2 channel system for TV sound. You don’t get hifi. you basicly get dual mono and it creates a single center image.  but it was quicker than switching fo full dolby mode and good enough for TV that was only available in mono anyway.  I used my HT system for things that were provided with multichannel sound.

My TV is an LG. I had to select "optical out" as my sound choice.

I’ve abandoned my ROKU. I find my TV is a better streamer than the roku and I use ARC to send the sound to the HT reciever. I feed my 2 channel system with pre out for those 2 channels (you have to have a spare input location on your amp).  ARC makes it easy to switch to this since the TV prioritizes ARC when it is enabled.

Thanks for the responses. So I will try my optical out on the TV and see if I like it...small investment(just the cable).  Didnt think about ... need to change sound choice. It's a Samsung TV.

At least better sound than my sound bar...hopefully. Dual mono should be better than muddled mono...lol.
