I just replaced my generation 3 Apple Tv with a generation 4 Apple Tv.
The gen. 3 has a Optical Audio jack that I used to connect to my Bose system.
The gen. 4 does not have this. Now I cannot get audio through my Bose system.
Any suggestions?
OS X Yosemite (10.10)
Use something different? I've read there are some adapters, but you are correct, the Apple TV v4 does not have an optical port.
You could try a device like this.
Some options here:

I ordered this today from Amazon. Hopefully it will take care of my problem.
Thanks.
DId this solve your problem? I have the same issue and did not want to go through the trouble and expense if the converter did not solve the problem. Thanks!
Are there not Blue Tooth and Wi-Fi options?
What is the answer?
I don't know if by now you've figured it out, but I just purchased the Apple TV 4th generation recently. I already have a Bose Sound Bar connected to my cable box and TV. All I did was plugged my Apple TV4 HDMI cable into the Sound bar's "Aux" HDMI and it worked just fine. When I want to watch Apple TV, I just select the "Aux" button on my Sound Bar's remote and Apple TV comes up on my TV. I figured this out because looking at the back on by Sound Bar's receiver, I saw that everything I needed sound to be heard through the sound bar was connected into it. For example TV, Cable, DVD and now my Apple TV were all connected to my sound bar receiver. Hope that works for everyone who at least has a Bose Sound Bar or a sound system with a "Aux" HDMI connection open.
What model is your Bose Sound Bar?
I have a Bose Sound Touch 120 system
Thank u!
The Gen. 4 Apple Tv does not have a Optical Audio jack.
