TV digital audio mess:
Got a Samsung S90D 65" TV over the holidays to replace our almost 15 year old 47" Vizio.
Fire Stick 4K had to be connected directly to the TV because the old Yamaha RX-V665 AV receiver doesn't support 4K HDMI. Receiver also doesn't support eARC, so I had to connect a TOSLINK optical audio cable from the TV to the receiver.
The TV absolutely refuses to output optical audio unless I also leave it connected via HDMI for some reason. It's totally bizarre!
