For older receivers you need a Multichannel Analog cable and run the sound in Bitstream. The info says "In order to utilize Linear PCM through HDMI your Player must be able to decode the formats Internally." Linear PCM is used when the audio is decoded inside the Player first, and then sent to the Receiver.

But while I will miss the optical out, I'll either bite the apple and buy an AV receiver or just live with stereo audio. Considering the Wii U won't support Dolby Digital, cheap solutions like the linked monoprice receiver unfortunately won't …

My guess is that since the Wii u will not support optical out of the box then the option to bitstream the audio will also not be there as in theory there is no.need for Nintendo to include this option as they will be using HDMI to send both video and audio as standard.

True, but those of us with a decent enough AV setup with optical audio face the prospect of going back to TV speakers audio just for the Wii U. Either that or spending €300 for a new receiver with HDMI audio capability... while it is likely that both Xbox Next and PS4 will still offer optical audio support in addition to HDMI digital audio.

The Wii U doesn't have any optical outputs for audio. Even worse, you won't get surround sound audio through it anyways. The Wii U outputs surround sound in an uncompressed format (LPCM), and the optical cable can only support a two - channel LPCM signal.

Unfortunately, since the Wii U doesn't support any compressed surround formats, it will not work with any 'pass-through' HDMI-to-Optical adapter to extract the sound either. This is because linear PCM (which has an individual uncompressed audio channel for each speaker) requires more bandwidth than an optical cable can provide.

Connect your Wii U to your TV through HDMI. Connect the Wii component cables and plug them into your soundbar, leaving the video cord untouched. Go into your settings and find the sound settings. Make sure component cables are selected, as this will have the audio output come only through those cables, and not both the TV and component.
