    Hooked it up set for 5.1 sound and everything worked great. Now blue-ray movie audio can go through my vintage 250W home theater system. One other good feature to note, when not powered up, HDMI audio passes through to the TV as if the extractor wasn't there.

    I love this! Makes my life easier. I love how it splits/extracts from HDMI to RCA Jack. Now, I am able to connect my sound system and watch my movies.

    It’s just what I was looking for. I had bookshelf speakers and a TV sound bar that I wanted to use together. With this tool I was able to do just that.

    Overall this works fine for what I wanted to use it for, which was connecting to an HDMI computer monitor that had no audio output and routing sound to a speaker system. There is slight audio sync lag and this box has ocassionally flaked out the video feed and needed to be power cycled (I was amused that they even bothered to render digital "snow" when this happens). However this quirk is just a minor complaint and happens rarely enough that I can live with it at this price point.

    I have an older Sony receiver that does not have HDMI ports (only digital optical and digital coaxial). This device converts the HDMI input to digital optical so that you can connect it to your receiver. The HDMI-out jack lets you also connect your inputted device to your TV simultaneously, so the audio/video signal is available when you're not using the receiver.

    Works great, bought it for the folks sound bar because their tv didn’t have Fiber Optic Audio input. No sound quality loss and I haven’t heard a complaint... other than their youngest saying “their tv vibrates the house now”. Lol

    I am using a projector with only an aux out, the audio leaves much to desire. In comes this item - it makes a notable difference in the audio, it is louder, crisper, and cleaner.

    Potentially useful product -- not for workaround

    Attempted to use unit as a substitute pass-through to rectify a Roku soundbar operational problem with a non-ARC HDMI TV input and an incompatible TV optical input. Although could utilize the optical cable input between soundbar and extractor, and the extractor's HDMI input and outputs, was ultimately unable to get extractor to perform the desired function. That said, extractor is not inherently a bad product and might be perfectly useful for other purposes.

    Got this since the PS5 does not have an audio optical output. My set up is HDMI to my monitor and optical cable to my sound bar. This worked out perfectly and I did not see any loss of quality. Note my gaming monitor is 4k at 60hz.
