Thanks so much Lucien. Much appreciated.
Funny you should mention the ARC converter. I have tried this but that didn't work - hence my trying to get an alternative. Maybe you can spot what I did wrong here?
So, the TV supports ARC via its HDMI slots (it's a Philips 55PUS6401) and my AV receiver is a Pioneer VSX330 4K Home Cinema Receiver: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B014Q2LOMA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1.
As the receiver accepts digital in, I thought I'd try the following:
The TV never discovered it though and kept using its inbuilt speakers.
Although I'm not home right now, the one thing I didn't test was just plugging the HDMI directly into one of the 4 HDMI inputs (i.e. SAT) to see if that works.
Thanks again!

As the receiver accepts digital in, I thought I'd try the following:
- HDMI into the TV
- I had to connect it to the other HDMI as it was in a different part of the wall - I used a: UGREEN HDMI Adapter, HDMI Female to Female Connector: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00B2HPAE6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

- Digital cable into the optical in
