Will I be able to control the volume of my Polk Solo sound bar using the LG TV remote when using this digital cable. I was not able to do so with the digital cable that came with the sound bar? null

I doubt it. That has more to do with what signal the Polk Solo sound bar is getting from your tv and not with the cable. If it hasn't worked in the past, it is unlikely it would work now. Sadly, you might still need to use the Polk remote, but that is a guess.

1. Device control over fiber is generally not a thing manufacturer are employing that I am aware.
2. Digital audio output is generally at a fixed volume over fiber, you'll have to get your remote to control the volume on the polk bar. I know LG remotes are usually pretty good covering a lot of devices.

Optical cables are audio only for the most part.
CEC and ARC / E-ARC are what control other components in the system from the TV. Those signals are through the HDMI .

Hi there! You generally can't control your Polk sound bar's volume with your LG TV remote when using a Toslink optical cable. This cable sends a fixed audio signal that most TVs can't adjust.
