LiNKFOR Analog to Digital Audio Converter 3.5mm AUX to Digital Toslink SPDIF Optical Audio Converter with Optical Cable for HDTV Projector PC to Soundbar

No issues at all, needed this as I bought a soundbar which has optical connection only and use a gaming monitor with VRR which has 3.5mm out only for audio.Xbox series x has no optical out and when using a HDMI audio extractor you would lose the ability to use VRR (Variable refresh rate) which is what i experienced and couldn't get used to the downgrade.With this item i am now able to connect the xbox directly to the monitor with a HDMI cable to keep VRR and I use the linkfor adapter to connect from the 3.5mm out of the monitor to the optical in on soundbar so really happy about that as if you've tried gaming with VRR and without there is a noticeable difference with framerate drops and stuttering.Easy to set up, sound quality is unaffected and cable length is good.

Works well good quality does the job

This is a great little product allows use of a soundbar with optical input with a TV/DVD with a phono digital output.Powered by USB, plug and play, the only drawback I have found is with my cheapo soundbar there is a short burst of white noise when changing sound modes. otherwise OK.

This works well and the sound is very nice

Worked well for a few weeks. Now it just crackles and is pretty unusable

Spot on

I had to return one as it did not work. The new one is purchased works but it depends on the power input. I've used about 5 different usb plugs, 3 were too powerful, 1 didn't even power the convertor and other worked, however, when I turn the sound up it cuts out completely. This should include a plug that is suitable as not all 5v plugs work.

This is excellent and value for money.Many audio devices including computers do not have an optical out, using a long standard RCA cable is expensive and susceptible to interference, it is also bulky.Using this device to connect to a lossless and unobtrusive toslink optical cable provides a connection into most HiFi or AV systems and a cheap DAC can return it to RCA if required.... (exactly how most peoples WiFi arrives at their house).A very useful ( if rare ) gadget to provide lossless audio signals over long distances using optical fibre ...essential
