Why do you want to split your Audio Signals? If your TV delivers your Audio Out from a Toslink, why don't you just take that? You may not need to Optical Out from your Sky Box also, just your TV as a first port of call.

I can't answer for Pete obviously but only as in terms of what I've learned, and which I've added Apple TV 3 to my PS4 Optical Audio Inputs into my Playbar as my TV does not drive Optical out with HDMI into itself. Simple, cheap and easy and in someways too easy and hence why some go for the all singing and dancing alternatives that are just not needed in many cases and circumstances.

The good thing is, there is no Switch either manual or remote required, as the Playbar will do all the work as long as there is only ever one signal input.

I've just done this as I thought it through logically and for a Toslink Fibre Audio this should work, only as long as everything meets the Caveat in terms of no other passive Audio Signal. Hope this helps someone, I'd been looking for a solution without having to manually switch optical inputs for ages! So for less than £3 per splitter you can combine two (or more) 5.1 sources directly to your sonos 5.1 system without the need for a switching device! After you close down the Mac application (Plex, ITunes, BBC iplayer etc) then the Macmini will stop outputting the optical signal ! I have discovered that the PS4 does NOT output a 'silent' optical signal when in 'sleep/standby/power saving mode.' And after a lot of reading on the Internet about macmini's continuously outputting a 'Silent' optical signal I have found that this is not 100% true. I have just bought one to combine my PS4 and Mac mini 5.1 sound outputs to the Playbar. Some devices will output a 'silent' optical signal when not in use (you will see the red glow at the end of the optical cable) and if two (or more) digital optical signals are being fed into the splitter at the same time then it won't be able to be decoded at the receiver (in this case the Playbar). Or you could buy 3 of these to get 4 optical inputs into one. It can be used to combine two optical inputs into one. You can buy a passive optical splitter for about £2 - £3 on eBay and use it 'backwards' to combine your optical inputs. Granted, even the stereo sounds great, just not the same from the rears and sound envelope as with the pure 5.1 tracks. Huge difference on the BlueRay's and LD's with nice mastering on the audio, night and day difference for me vs my Samsung TV down mixing it to stereo. Verified I get 5.1 from all my sources, unless of course the actual media is not 5.1.

I've been extremely happy now that I've got full 5.1 sound on all my devices, really made the world of difference for me. So, as others have learned, also make sure you get a BlueRay player that will convert DTS tracks to DD, then you have a nice clean DD only network. I use a logitec Harmony remote and just added it to that for my scenes and everything works great, especially with the small size and being able to hide it behind the sound bar since it has the RF repeater. I like this box because it's small and has a remote. I was forced to go the optical switch route because I have a LaserDisc player (RF Modulator to turn RF modulated 5.1 to Optical) and I wanted 5.1 sound and of course my Samsung 4K was forcing everything to stereo. Great price for something that can do this with a little remote and tucks in nice behind the sounds bar. Was around $35 when I bought it via Prime.

Search Amazon for 'AGPtek Optical Matrix Switch 4x2'. I needed 4 inputs and thought it was cool that it could send any of the inputs to any of the outputs (even the same input out both outputs). I've been using this switch for a while and have been very happy with it.
