Question: Toslink splitter

[JoeHamSwain]

Hey everyone! I have 2 - WiiM Amps pushing some restored Cerwin Vegas. I would like to split the Toslink /optical out from my tv and feed both WiiM Amps the same signal.

Has anyone run into an issue with this?

I tried to run Toslink Optical input to one of the WiiM Amps and then group the speakers via Wi-Fi but the delay made watching a movie unwatchable. Any hints or would be great!

TV -> Toslink out -> input to 1-2 Toslink splitter -> opt1 to Amp1 and opt2 to Amp2

To avoid the sync delay you can adjust the Group delay.

See the FAQ "Using the Group Audio Delay Setting for WiiM Multi-Room Audio".

Set it to 70 ms, that should fix the lib sync.

So I do not need a Toslink splitter? I can group them via WiFi after one amp receives the Toslink signal?

If the delay settings fix your issue, yes.

It didn’t fix the delay. It sounds like an echo now. I think the optical input into one of the WiiM amps sound is coming out faster than the other grouped speaker that is grouped via WiFi

This splitter works well.

That can also be adjusted.
Run the sync on both WiiMs.

Hey - ended up purchasing a powered Toslink splitter to split the signal - it works as expected now since the splitter sends the signal to both WiiM Amps!

I have a powered splitter one into three. Came with its own remote.

Great question!! I selected the powered one that is powered by the USB port in my TV.
