I am hoping you people could save me as I have had a stressful day lol. My PC has 5.1 surround system for a while, and I thought I can use that to connect with my PS4, sadly it won't let me :(

Anyway, I have here my own surround system I was using on my PS3 by using the AV and through the tv. However, the PS4 isn't compatible with AV anymore. I was going to buy this from amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Digital-Optical-Coaxial-Toslink-Converter/dp/B0074JZ8ZW/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1405011233&sr=1-1&keywords=Digital+Optical+Coaxial+Toslink+to+Analog+RCA+Audio+Converter

Until I realized my old surround system has an Optical Digital Cable as well and that can plug into my PS4. So, essentially, that would work with my surround no problem? Here's what the back of my surround is like;https://www.dropbox.com/sc/tz6jgaxuyr1s5gd/AAD1D2BUdtjibQSu6eIE-Jlda Then all I need to do is plug my HDMI from my PS4 to my TV and that's it?

Can you guys correct me if I am wrong? I don't want to go and buy this and find out it's pointless lol.

If this won't work, I'll just likely to buy a new 5.1 home cinema.

Any help you guys can give me? Would be sweet, thank you! :)

Charlie.

I'm at work so I can't look at your dropbox picture... but..
I don't think you need to buy anything.
Plug the optical cable from your PS4 into you receiver/sound system.
Plug the HDMI cable into your TV.

Then you just setup the PlayStation to use the optical output for audio and HDMI for video.

DO NOT BUY THAT THING ON AMAZON. That will not help you in any way...
