Conversion from digital to analog for earphones not working.

I might if I knew what that meant. I do not know what you mean by "link to the toslink adapter...".

This is the type I have.

I suspect that as per a previous respnse to my question, that the converter may not be working, I have ordered another Toslink to RCA converter. If it is a faulty converter, that should solve my problem, if it does not, at least then I know the problem lies with something relative to the TV (settings or digital signal), itself. For $13.00 or so bucks, it seems a logical way to go. The new converter will be here about Monday and I will post back here with the results.

Addendum: Still waiting for the new converter. However, reading the TV's manual I came across this: "When an ATSC channel is selected, the output from the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack will be Dolby Digital. When and NTSC channel is selected, the output will be PCM."
The article states that in order for the conversion scheme to work, the output has to be PCM. I do not know, and my manual does not tell me what ATSC or NTSC is or how to change it. Can someone explain what those abbreviations mean and ideally, how to change from ATSC to NTSC.

Whoa! "...you will need a headphone amplifier too..." Now what-where does a person get that and how much does that cost?
The new device came in (the one suggested as the one that would surely work, and it does not...just that same pulsing static noise). The adapter I purchasedhttp/www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008U23F3E?tag=thewire06-20&linkCode=as2&creative=374929&camp=211189 If others have had success driving headphones without an amplifier, why does mine not work? There is a headphone jack on it after all. Before I get expensive headphones and an amplifier so that I can control volume, or wireless I want to be sure it works albeit, poorly.

Addendum: I tried connecting my wireless headphones by plugging in their powered transmitter via their Red/White RCA jacks into the RCA jacks on the new digital signal-to-analog converter and I still just got that same pulsing static on the wireless headphones.

Still more: I have connected the digital optical cable to a home theater system and confirmed that one of its speakers produces the expected audio. However, the Home Theater that I have does not have any RCA Audio out, so I still cannot use headphones. So, it would seem that just connecting a optical cable to a optical to RCA/headphone converter has been over-stated as a way of connecting headphones to a TV that has no RCA output jacks, but only has optical audio output. At this point, it would appear that those who posted that the optical audio cable output has to go to an amplifier were correct and that there is no real cheap method.

Unfortunately, after connecting the Toslink optical cable to my just-arrived headphone amplifier, I still get that same pulsing static on my headphones. Note that when I connect the optical cable to the home theater system, the sound works fine. What am I doing wrong here? Why no sound to the headphones?

For anyone else with the same problem, I solved it by buying a Sony DAV S300 VCR/amplifer. It has a volume control and an earphone jack. I ran the optical digital cable to it from the T.V. and it is working fine. However, my hearing loss is in the higher frequencies so the current crop of headphones being biased towards bass, is a problem.
