HDMI Audio Extractor 4K@30Hz Optical & 3.5mm Output, HDCP 1.4

Quality build, no glitching, does what's required and quietly does it's job... brilliant.

This is a great option if you want to connect items seemingly via a soundbar which it will allow you to split the audio from the HDMI signal and send it to either a soundbar or speakers, I use it in conjunction with my projector and it does a amazing job and there is no latency in the audio as well, it very practical in size easy to set up great value for money it’s a must have, pubs and clubs use them as well with their big screen and audio setup as well

I bought this to get the audio to pass through my stereo system into my speakers from my firestick which was connected to my Epson projector. The set up is easy but for some reason the audio wouldn't come through I just kept getting a ticking noise so I turned everything off and connected it up again then turned on 1 projector 2 firestick 3 hdmi audio converter with switch selected to 2ch 4 stereo system and this eventually worked. The sound and picture quality is good and now I am happy with the purchase.

This product is amazing! After trying several alterative and considerably more expensive options - which didn't work - this unit delivered flawless performance and synchronisation at a fantastic price point so I would highly recommend. If you require 5.1 Dolby audio from a laptop (which in general don't have the required outputs), this is probably the easiest and cheapest solution. Obvious in and out on the HDMI line and then use an optical cable to connect your preferred decoder / amplifier, it even has a stereo mixdown additional output so it literally does everything. Installed mine in a 4k home cinema with Sony projector and Denon surround sound unit - it’s literally better than going to my local Odeon!

After seeing positive reviews, I bought one. I understand A/V and HiFi kit very well and what could be simpler than a charge cable in + HDMI In and HDMI Out + Audio Out? Was really confused for some time when I received the device and a standard USB cable, yet the device only accepts round pin to power it. So a device that takes 5v via USB, but you need a non-USB (round) connector to provide it power? Go figure. I put it in the drawer for some time till I got hold of a 5 volt round pin power supply with the correct diameter tip. The supply works with another very similar device (an HDMI Splitter from what appears to be same manufacturer, albeit probably one of dozens of rebrands from the same factory). However, with this one, I plug in the cable connected to a 5v supply and all I get is a barely visible pale light flashing on and off every few seconds. No output HDMI or audio signal. So in summary, received the device with the wrong power cable. By the time I decided to figure out the problem, the return window expired and the device seems dead on arrival anyway! Maybe a good device when manufactured and packaged correctly, but the lack of quality control makes this a worthless piece of junk that will go out with the garbage.

I bought this to complement a Fire Stick on a computer monitor that does not have audio capability. The setup is pretty straight forward and you can't get it wrong as there are clear labels on which side is the input and output. The option of RCA and SPDIF connections also provide great flexibility for use with either 3.5mm RCA or fibre optic cable connection to amplifier or speakers. In short, very happy with my purchase and it did exactly what I needed it to do. Obviously it is only necessary due to the fact devices like the Fire Stick send the audio and video signal down the HDMI port. I had minor issues using a Bose active speaker but this was nothing to do with the device and the seller was fantastic in response.

Power supply missing, so could not use, Disappointed Update: After having a play around, found the unit runs with No power supply connected, Guess its drawing power from my HDMI Splitter I use to get Video to my TV & Projector. BUT Video quality via this unit has dropped to HD so loosing UHD video output. Anyway have increase my rating to 3 Stars as Audio quality in Stereo is good.

I’m not expert on sound but I wanted something which could extract the audio to play on my soundbar from tv or projector and my tv not new one which had earc after trying so many product this is the one worked in one go it’s reasonable my soundbar connected now with optical but at least I’m getting surround sound 5.1 very easy for me to install quality seems good I’m not using 4k pic so won’t go that side. Well recommended mainly for the price you can’t go wrong.

just what I needed to get sound from firestick to my integrated amplifier

I needed this device to connect my Firestick to a projector and surround sound system, and it was exactly what I needed. It’s been working perfectly and was delivered quickly and easily!

It is great alternative for older version, had been using it till now and there are no problems whatsoever. It has a nice compact design and doesn't have any heating problems. Flawlessly performs all functions like picture quality and most importantly it transmits Dolby sond effects to my hime theater for which I basically bought it. So I would say one should go for it.

Working perfectly optical in to hdmi out audio with 5.1 track. I have only one issue front center track and front left track is swaped audio But i resolved by re arange speaker cable,

It's good and works well, as long as you know the limitations for 5.1. TL;DR - Works for pretty much anything if you only need 2.0 (stereo). For 5.1 support it's a bit more complicated. It only supports the traditional DTS (the original, not HD) or Dolby Digital (not DD Plus or TrueHD). For Panasonic Bluray players, turn on BD Secondary Audio (in player settings) and the player will choose the audio track on the disc that's traditional DTS/DD. Full explanation: This device only passes 5.1 if the source is Dolby Digital or DTS (the formats that started in the 90's). If your source media has more modern formats like DTS-HD, Dolby TrueHD or Dolby Digital Plus, it will skip those and only output stereo. Many streaming services these days use Dolby Digital Plus for surround sound. That doesn't work with this. It'll only output stereo since the negotiated acceptable format between player and this device is stereo. So as long as your device/player provides traditional DTS/DD then you'll get 5.1 output.
