I have a Focusrite solo connected to my laptop and want to get input from my TV for two channel audio. The solo only has a USB-C port for digital audio and I want to leave the other analog inputs free for instruments. I want to control the volume with my TV remote as well. My only options for this seem to be optical and Bluetooth since my TV does not have any analog outputs. I’m quite sure optical is superior to Bluetooth at least from what I researched, so I’d like to go with optical. Anyone know of any optical to usb c solutions for this? Btw, I would not be plugging the adapter directly to my solo, the reason I say USB c is because my laptop only has USB c ports.

Hifime S2 Digi is USB-C... https://hifimediy.com/product/s2-digi/

*edit* Correction - it has a micro-USB socket, you have to supply the cable yourself. Also, make sure it's the 'Digi', not the standard S2 which is a DAC.
