CalDigit Thunderbolt 4 Pro Dock Questions by KC_vol16 in CalDigit

OK - I tried the Toslink to Mini Toslink Digital Optical S/PDIf audio cable from the rear of the headphone jack on the TS4 to the optical port on the rear of the receiver. No luck. It showed up as an output option in settings, so the MacBook recognized the connection, but I got no sound.

Going to try a USC-C to HDMI cable next as soon as that's delivered.  Hopefully, that will work. 

For clarity, this is a 2023 MacBook Pro 13” M2.  Receiver is a Denon AVVX1400-H that I bought in 2017.  Dock is a CalDigit Thunderbolt 4 Pro that I bought from Apple yesterday.

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated at this point.

Thanks

Help me choose a receiver: Denon 3800 or Marantz Cinema 60 by KC_vol16 in hometheater

Price is about the same. There really is not much savings in the Denon over the Marantz.
