The first is that the Wii U will only output sound over two types of media: analog RCA cables in Stereo-only, and HDMI in stereo or 5.1 surround in uncompressed Linear PCM. The Wii U doesn't support any compressed surround signals such as Dolby Digital or DTS and does not have a TOSLink optical port.

-Yes Wii Mode does output audio via RCA if in HDMI mode so this is something that should be patchable for Wii U proper. -Wii Mode has no settings of its own (wrench menu). -I did an unscientific test and it did not seem like I was getting DPL with NPC Pikmin 2 (first game I found with the logo).
Is it possible to get Digital Output audio with Wii U? : wiiu

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. 1 level 2 SaitoKojima Op · 7y NNID: SaitoKojimaU Cocks... -1 Continue this thread level 1

Check any of the popular games. You'll likely see the PL-II logo stamped on it. If you see Dolby Digital on a game disc, again, that's referring only to the pre-rendered audio for cutscenes. The rest of the game is likely in 2.0 Stereo. PS3 is a different story.

People just don't want to spend 200$ on an decoder, because that would make the Wii U cost 550$, just because Nintendo is cheap. It's also about surround headphones that are SOLD TODAY. And a simple dongle won't be possible. It's not about converting HDMI audio to optical out. It wouldn't be an actual problem, if that would be the case.

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 Amplifier 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 can only produce 5.1 surround sound (Uncompressed) via LPCM (Non-licensed audio format). Chances are that you, as many of us do, own systems that do not support the LPCM format. How can I...

I think that Nintendo should have designed Wii U with an optical output on the rear. With my PS3 I run an optical cable out of the console, and into my Dolby Digital 5.1 / DTS receiver.
