Hi there

Unfortunately it is not possible. An external audio system for the TV must be connected to the TV via one of three ways:

HDMI
Optical
Audio Out/headphone jack

Cheers

Hi. I have a follow up question. Given that audio out must be in one of three ways you state, how do I get audio to my old Lin sondek speakers which are currently hard wired to an analogue amp which is connected and controlled by AirPlay, but not in the vicinity of the TV.

Do do I need a transmitter with optical input that can transmit to and be recognised by AirPlay/airport utility? If so what is the technical term for such a unit and how can I be sure my airport express will recognise it?

alternatively, do I need a wireless transmitter and receiver, one for the tv and one for the amp? If so, what are these things? I can see the logic but have no idea of the technical spec I am looking for.

nb. If possible I'd prefer a wireless set up rather than Bluetooth.

can anyone help? I've tried researching and am bamboozled by the technical options, compatibility etc.

thanks in advance.

Hi there

I think you may be referring to one of these things:

I have no experience with this type of kit, but i can assume that it will introduce an audio delay/lag. You would need an adaptor as well to connect to the tvs headphone jack.
