Couldn't get it to work properly with Chromecast

Hi everyone, I thought I'd write this because I've been doing a lot of testing here. This is likely more of an issue with the Chromecast than this device. It seems to have worked, but with one big caveat. If you connect it to a receiver that accepts DD+ over HDMI then everything is fine and it will also output DD+ over optical. I know it says it doesn't support DD+, but it worked for me (I couldn't find a way to disable DD+ on the Chromecast. The problem is that Chromecast recognizes it when I put it on my TV via HDMI run doesn't send DD My TV is optically connected to an old receiver and sends DD over broadcast TV but does NOT pass it through Chromecast My plan B was to extract the DD over optical but Chromecast sniffs it out and sends 2 Channels with the box I've even tried hooking it up to a monitor with no speakers via HDMI but Chromecast doesn't bite it If you're using this with a device where you can control what signal is sent it should work for you. I'd give up if you try using it with Chromecast.

Pros
