Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
My AppleTV performed an update recently and now the digital audio output (Toslink) connected to my AV receiver no longer works. It worked before the update and was working for about 1 year. I have not changed anything else in setrup.

Hi TimKiernan!
I have a couple of articles here for you that can help you troubleshoot this issue with your Apple TV audio:

If you are still experiencing issues with the Apple TV after trying these troubleshooting steps, you may need to restore your Apple TV again, according to these articles:
