The optical out of my Panasonic tv is broken. I wish to route the sound to my Audiolab m-DAC/pre-amp, which only has digital inputs. Taking advice on a previous thread I bodged the toslink connector into the socket with Blutac - this holds for a bit but because the angle is awkward, not very long. I am therefore trying another way - using the analogue out from the tv via a jack to female phono adaptor, then going via the phonos to a little analogue to digital converter, and out of there via either toslink or coaxial to the audiolab. I have connected it all up as described and I can see the connection is there as when I select the relevant input on the audiolab it shows a 20bit/48khz connection (if there is no good connection the display will say "unlocked"). However there is no sound coming through the speakers and no level showing going through the Audiolab. Can anyone guess from this information what simple schoolboy error I may be making? Because Panasonic customer support were worse than useless.
