    I brought an open box wiring. It’s making a cracking sound every couple of hours. Did not know what to do so I am just dealing with that noise.

    Won’t fit in the hole because of the bulky body of the chord base. Need the base to be smaller to stick in the Soundbar.

    Had to buy this one out of immediate need . Had drilled holes in the wall for laying various cables and was ready to mount tv and thats when i realized i forgot to purchase optical. I was tired and really wanted to finish the job so had to purchase this only available item in the store. Same as any toslink but 3-5 times expensive.

    Bought a reboxed cable trying to save a few bucks, Best Biy claimed it was fully tested and, well the dang thing doesn’t work. It’s signal is broken. Didn’t connect it until one day after the return date. So, I bought nothing of use and stuck with it/the costs.
