Yes, as Abe suggests make sure your tv can output stereo PCM. I was looking forward to using my Arcam rDAC for my tv and found it wouldn't work. I figured it might be my DAC. Then I tried it with my Bluesound Node 2 and same result, no sound.

That's when I found out my tv doesn't output PCM (sometimes it takes me awhile to catch onto things). I did purchase a DAC specifically for the tv that could take the multi-channel signal and output stereo. I'm not so concerned about ultimate audio from my tv and the reasonably priced DAC does a great job and the tv audio is very satisfying.

Just wanted pass on my experience, you may not have a problem at all. Good luck.

Cheers,

Scott
