Support NeoGAF

I want to display the image from my Ps4 to two separate TVs, but I also want to output the audio to my Soundbar.
The soundbar only supports Optical and Auxiliary cables so I need something to convert it.

I'm not too familiar with soundbars in general and I haven't had my ps4 for very long so unsure if.. or how this could be done.

Edit: Forgot to mention this is a Slim Ps4, it has no optical ports and neither do the televisions.

PS4 has optical out. You could also get optical out from one of your two TVs.

Edited. Slim ps4 has no optical out.

Wouldn't that only display it on one TV, not two?

Daisy chain it.

Daisy chain it.

That doesn't sound very reliable..

I think the device you might need is a matrix. Here's one that does optical out:

Theoretically you could plug your PS4 into one of the inputs and set both outputs to that input and connect your optical audio and boom. Don't know about latency though, look out for that

Thank you!
That's a bit expensive, but I was expecting it to be for what I'm asking for. -3-
I may try it.

Be careful if you use your ps4 for things other than games

Splitter function may not work with HDCP protected content or devices such as cable set-top boxes, cable/satellite TV programs

It actually seems pretty cheap to me but if you want to keep looking for other options, the key word is matrix. A simple splitter is unlikely to de-embed the audio but a matrix is generally intended to be part of a larger system so it's more likely to have that feature. Good luck

I don't really, but thank you for the warning for anyone else who may see this thread.

Check Amazon for the view hd hdmi switch. Its a matrix, you want the 4x2 prosumer model I think. I use it to do exactly what your describing for a projector and flat screen. I have 2 consoles, a roku and android box with optical out to a sOund bar.

I own that splitter for connecting its optical out to my soundbar, worth it

Daisy chain it.

What's a good 1-in 2-out HDMI splitter on Amazon?
