YouTube is loading slower for users with ad blockers yet again

A bit off topic, but I was interested in Nvidia Shield but I have an (5.1) amplifier hooked on my TV with Optical Cable. As I understood, Shield doesn't have any Optical out. Is it possible to connect Shield to TV and let TV (LG with WebOS) pass audio through optical to the amplifier?

My amplifier is quite old, so it doesn't have HDMI in or something.

This is what I'm using, Shield => HDMI => TV => Optical => Soundbar. There are some settings on the TV to enable external speakers over optical, which format is sent (Dolby Digital, etc), and which format is accepted (bitstream) that you may need set. The Shield also has settings for which signal is sends. Works well for me after configuring it and I get Dolby Digital 5.1 (ac3 5.1) from my Shield to my LG C2 to my soundbar over optical.

I have regular entry level 2.1 soundbar connected to the TV with optical as well and I use same setup you described. No issues observed
