m1 mac mini sound

I am running dual displays one hdmi and one display port. I have a sound bar with three options, Bluetooth, optical or hdmi. So far most workable is Bluetooth. Thoughts?

Mac mini, macOS 11.5

Your pretty much limited to Bluetooth because newer Mac’s no longer support Optical Digital from the headphone jack.

The other option is to get and use a USB to Digital Optical adapter or DAC
