4K x 2K HDMI Audio Extractor Splitter, HDMI to HDMI Audio Converter Adapter Support Ultra HD 4K Toslink Optical Audio Output and 3.5mm Audio with Optical Fiber Cable

It works and is reliable, more than the OREI I was using before which would occasionally glitch and need a power reset. It puts out a 48khz 24 bit signal from the HDMI out of my Spectrum 3600 DVR box

This little adapter works great for my DVD/blue ray player to get great sound with my soundbar. Since my tv has horrible audio with only one speaker. Recommend this product.

This is an amazing little piece of tech. Being that I'm almost deaf, I have to rely on my headphones to hear anything from the TV. This is complicated by the fact that I have a home these system. Most systems do not have an optical audio out, and most TV's don't allow simultaneous output to two sources. This little guy allows you to take an HDMI feed from the receiver and split the audio out from it and output it via optical audio or 3.5 mm Jack. It will then allow up to a 4k 30hz HDMI signal back to the TV. The result is a true 4k picture on the screen, digital audio coming out the home theater for my wife to enjoy, and digital audio coming out the headphones for me to enjoy. As an added bonus, I can keep the AV receiver turned off, still have a picture on the TV, and hear from my headphones when it's just me watching... So overall if you need headphones to enjoy byour TV like me, or if you need to power two sets of speakers like say your TV area and and an outdoor area this little guy will be a very easy way to get that done. Overall the build quality seemed top notch, the unit is a bit on the heavy side. However they do include all the necessary cables, However you will need to supply a USB port for power ( most smart TVs have USB ports available, and I think anyone with a smart phone has at least one USB power brick laying around collecting dust..) so that shouldn't be too big of an obstacle. Other than that, connect the output from your home theater (HDMI) to this guy and connect the output (HDMI) to your TV and the digital audio to your headphones, speakers, really anything that you want to output audio that uses SPDIF connections. Connect up the USB power and thats it! After just enjoy, there is really no further set up needed. There is a switch on the box to format the audio both in and out for different surround sound configurations. However I recommend keeping it on pass through as this will require no further set up.

This worked for 2 days but then failed and I have been unable to turn it on....Horrible cheap product

I don’t usually write reviews, but I’m just so pleased with this splitter. I thought I needed to buy a new tv. We didn’t have a port for an optical cord to connect our surround sound. I had already bought several other cords and connectors, none of which have worked. Then I found this!It’s easy to use, shipped quickly, and was just what we needed. As soon as I connected everything (I connected this to my tv, Apple tv, and soundbar), our sound bar started working with the tv instantly!So much cheaper than buying a new tv! I definitely recommend this product. It works!

I bought this device to connect my PS4 Slim (without optical) to a wireless headset. For that use case, it suits my needs. However, there are a few caveats:- It does not transcode audio. If your source sends 5.1 LPCM, 2 channel LPCM is sent via optical. It doesn't re-encode to AC-3 or DTS, but I suppose that's reasonable for an inexpensive device. The source device must use bitstream output for surround sound.- It does not pass all codecs through the HDMI output. If you have DTS-HD MA coming in, you'll only get DTS going out. I'm not sure what happens with TrueHD or E-AC-3. It's not an issue for me, because 5.1 LPCM seems to work fine.- The HDMI output does not support more than 5.1 LPCM. If you've got a 7.1 or 9.1 system, it won't work.However, an added bonus, it comes with an optical cable, a minijack to RCA cable, and a mini USB cable, which I was not expecting.

I would normally give this product 5 stars, however it looses 2 stars because of the following reasons:1. It does not work with Amazon Fire Stick right out of the box. The problem is that it does not come with its own power supply. Once you connect your Fire Stick on it, it will never boot. It will fall into a continuous loop of optimizing apps (10 minutes process) for ever. I spent half a day trying to figure out what was wrong with my Fire Stick. Apparently the power splits and is not enough for both the HDMI Audio Extractor Splitter and the Fire Stick to work, so the Fire Stick fails to boot all the time. I solved it by using my phone charger to power the HDMI Audio Extractor Splitter. Now I have to purchase a new phone charger. It should come with its own power supply and save my time and money, or at least write it in the description that the purchase of a power supply is required in order to work correctly.2. The second reason it looses one star is that the product is Amazon Prime, however it did not arrive on time. I needed this in order to perform a presentation, but since I did not have it, I had to "improvise" and it did not go as well as it should. Thank you again Amazon for your poor, to say the least, Prime service! It seems that Amazon messes up more than half of my orders for almost one year now and although I have complaint several times, it does not make any difference. Well, guess what Amazon, I am not going to renew my service on its expiration, because your Prime service sucks!
