
Opticalallowshigherqualityaudioconnectionswithreducedlatency,butcouldtransmitloweroutputvolumetothe
Bluetoothspeaker.

ToconnectanOpticalaudio(alsoknownasTOSLINKorS/PDIF)totheRIVACast,followtheinstructionsabove,

cable/streamingbox,gaming,orreceiverbeforeusingitwithRIVACast
Inthedeviceaudiosettings,settheOpticaloutputformattoPCM(insteadofBitstream)
Ifthatoptionisnotavailable(suchasonAppleTV),lookforoptionstodisableDolbyDigital,DTSorother
surroundsoundencoding.TheRIVACastisnotabletodecodethesehigherresolutionsurroundprotocols
