Audio output from Sky Q Box

NuevoPortil — Tue, 25 Feb 2025 12:32:05 GMT

Does anybody know if it's possible to output audio from a Sky Q Box using HDMI and Optical simultaneously? I am trying to devise a way to connect my Bluetooth headphones and soundbar at the same time using an optical to Bluetooth transmitter.

hi @NuevoPortil

Yes the optical & HDMI both carry Audio at the same time.

BTW They can be set independently to normal/Dolby Digital (& DD+ for HDMI)

Thank you for your prompt response. I have invested in a Bluetooth transmitter and it works perfectly using the optical output and USB port on the Sky Q box.
