Does the following work?
I plug a Toslink cable into the Playstation4 output, connect the cable to my normal PC speakers (just two boxes, no subwoofer or anything) with a normal audio connection (i.e. a light green connection), then plug this adapter (Lindy Adapter Toslink to Mini-Optical 3.5mm jack) into the normal Toslink cable and poof, I can plug this into the PC speakers and I have the sound from the Playstation4 on my speakers and have normal good sound?

Is it that simple? That would be great.

Accepted Answer

No, it does not work that simply. With a Toslink-Mini-Tosslink adapter, the metal contacts have no function. It is not a functioning 3.5 mm jack, but the tip of the jack has been "cut off" to allow the fibre optic cable to pass through. For this application you need a digital-to-analogue converter. Unfortunately I can't find anything suitable at Digitec. The only thing I found quickly was this: https://www.internetstore.ch/DIGITUS-Audio-Konverter-Digital-zu-Analog?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIwLLu8rrS4AIVxaMYCh2zQAqSEAkYFCABEgJMe_D_BwE

Ok thanks! I see one part costs 17 and the other 67? Why the difference? Is that enough for me for 17.-?
