Solution thundervore Mar 15, 2015 No. You cannot convert Optical to Analog without a separate piece of hardware. You r Samsung TV should not have HDMI out unless it is an HDMI ARC connection. Bottom line, you will need another piece of hardware or a new soundbar with HDMI in I personally MOnoprice 4x1 HDMI® Switch w/ TOSlink & Digital Coaxial Audio Output (Audio Return Channel/3D/CEC Support) in my setup. Works great http/www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=101&cp_id=10110&cs_id=1011002&p_id=7974&seq=1&format=2
