    I received the new AppleTV as aging for Christmas.  Very excited until I found out it had no audio output!?!  I use a monitor without audio and rely upon a Bose 5.1 system for TV audio.   I've read about various options around this issue ( such as use an older AppleTV for audio or use audio output from my TV (very few have this).  None of these work in my case.  But what is worse, is that apparently even using HDMI for audio output apparently doesn't work well for surround sound and THX.  

    I was was hoping I could cut my cable, but as it stands now I will have to return the unit until Apple adds audio output or I spring for. A new TV

    emoeller - I was in the same boat with the optical TOSLink interface being left off the ATV4 until I found a simple splitter that takes HDMI in and splits it into HDMI and TOSLink interfaces. I have an older Marantz receiver that I adore without HDMI inputs and this enabled me to keep on truckin' just like it was before. You can find them on Amazon by searching for HDMI Audio Extractor. ViewHD makes one (Model VHD-H2HARC) for $30.95 US that has Ultra HD support, etc. There is no loss of video or audio quality since it is all digital anyway so your Dolby 5.1 will still sound great. Hope this helps!

    I have the charger above also and it works well. I have a pair of Linksys Velop mesh WiFi routers that have been SUPERB so far, it is nice to have only one network name combining 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz frequencies. They are wicked fast too. I am certainly not saying they haven’t made some duds in the past but these two items are top notch.
