Casey Liss talks about using the Tendak HDMI Splitter to get optical audio from his Apple TV. I thought about purchasing an adapter like this when I found out that the Apple’s latest model didn’t support optical audio out, but that was before I learned that my television supported audio pass through. Casey’s TV supports the feature as well, but he specifically wanted to playback audio from the Apple TV without having his TV on. The Tendak worked like a charm.
