Enabling Optical Output on Samsung UE40ES6100 TV for Sound Connection with HT-TZ215 Home Theater

In that case, he will offer you such a test. This will finally confirm where the damage is.

You need an optical cable with a maximum length of 30 cm (preferably new - good quality).

Prepare a home theater + computer on a short cable. Set up your home theater so that you can hear any sound from your computer. Turn on the TV, and reconnect the plug from the computer to the TV (you can do this with the devices turned on). In this connection, try all possible settings on the TV. If that fails, you're left with a TV failure, a socket, or a problem with the board in the TV.

I already wrote about it in my first post in this topic, but maybe I didn't describe it too precisely, hence the misunderstandings.

The cinema is definitely well connected, the cable is also functional (when they were connected to a desktop computer, everything worked), but when connected to the TV, nothing can be heard.

It was the method you described that I found that the cable and the cinema are operational and the damage is on the TV side or some option on the TV is inactive. Everything was turned on and wired side by side. When I plugged in the optical cable from the computer to the cinema on the "D.IN" option, the sound was there. Then I connected the cable from the computer to the TV and there was no sound. I also wrote that I tried various options in the "sound" menu of the TV. I've tried almost all of them and probably in all possible combinations, but there was still no sound. Even then I started to suspect damage, but I thought that maybe the option to turn on the optical socket is somehow well hidden there, but I can't turn it on.

How about this certainty? I wrote above the cable up to 30cm, new. It is enough that the cable has been bent somewhere, the structure of the cable may have been damaged. It will light up but the signal will be too weak. And you can't see it with your eyes.

First of all, is there anywhere to get such a cable with a length of 30 cm? From what I saw in the store, the shortest ones were 0.5 m (mine is 1.5 m, shorter is unlikely to get to my TV). And secondly, the cable has never been used before, precisely because it is new (I bought it for the purpose of connecting it to the TV).

Buddy, in the instructions for your TV it's like this:
Menu->Sound->Additional settings

?
SPDIF out
SPDIF out (Sony Philips Digital
InterFace) is used for digital transfer
audio signal to the speakers
and various digital devices (e.g.
DVD players) with minimal
interference level. - maybe it's just activated here.
? Audio Format: Select one of the available digital audio formats
(SPDIF).
N Available audio output format
(SPDIF) depends on the source
input. - That's what I'd focus on.

And even earlier when connected.

?
5.1 channel sound is available when
the TV is connected to the device
supporting this standard.
?
Sound will be emitted when the receiver (home theater) is turned on
transmitted through the optical connector
TV. When on TV received
there is a digital image of the antenna, to the set
audio will be transmitted
5.1-channel. When the source is a device
digital connected via HDMI,
such as DVD/Blu-ray player/
cable receiver / set-top box
satellite television (STB), cinema receiver
will only output 2-channel audio. If you want to use
5.1ch sound, connect digital
audio output from DVD player /
Blu-ray/cable receiver
/ satellite TV set-top box (STB)
directly to your amp or kit
home theater

If you connect correctly, try the settings at the beginning of the post.

I haven't written for a long time because I had to leave urgently. In turn, my father decided that he would call Samsung and either they would somehow activate it or fix it and after the case As for my fellow grubs. I have already tried these settings with the SPDiF output because I was also sure that it would activate there. I put everything in different combinations, but it still didn't help. Only deafening silence.

I'm going to connect the TV to the receiver at the input. optical (I'm green . I would like to ask someone who has such a device connected.

When you turn on the TV (the receiver is off), does the sound come from the TV speakers? Does the optical output work like a headphone and is there silence until we turn on the receiver?

(I don't always need 5.1 sound / I don't always want to turn on the receiver

You will always have sound on the TV speakers, regardless of whether the receiver is turned on or not.
