Question audio extractor

[Ferre Vekemans]

Hi,

I am planning to sell my HTPC and use my laptop for connecting to my home cinema.
It consists of a Logitech z-5400 and some old 1080p Samsung smart tv.

The HTPC had a SPDIF connection, but I will lose this option on my laptop.

Apparently, the television had no pass thru option for DTS and Dolby Digital when connected to a SPDIF receiver, so I went online searching for a solution.

I found this "hdmi audio extractor"
https://www.banggood.com/5_1CH-1080...io-Splitter-Extractor-Converter-p-988573.html

I however can't find any details regarding Dolby/DTS pass thru on the audio extractor.

Anyone who can help me out with this? I know next to nothing when it comes to audio interfaces.

Thanks in advance.

What model tv?
Does it have digital optical audio output?

It has digital optical audio out.
Connect your z-5400 to it with toslink cable.
