    I purchased this to get better audio out of my Xbox. I use a Roku Streambar (soundbar and streaming device in one). Unfortunately Roku required an optical port that my TV was too old to have. This box solved my problem.

    I needed a way to stream audio from IOS devices using AirPlay2 to a whole house audio system. Paired this with a ROKU Express 4K+ and it works like a champ. The only audio output on the ROKU is via HDMI, so this device allows connecting the ROKU to the whole house RCA Line In jacks. Now, whatever I am listening to on my iPad, iPhone, or Mac can be streamed to the whole house audio system using AirPlay2. Need to connect the ROKU to a TV for setup, but no longer requires a TV once this is completed.

    Since the PS5 no longer has an optical port, I needed this to connect my Arctis Pro + DAC headset. You can use the USB port, but since I was also using a video capture card, I couldn't get audio to both my headset (via USB) and to my recorded gameplay. This extractor allowed me to do both perfectly. I don't notice any input lag or loss of video quality either.

    So far so good. The device does do what it design for. The only gripe is that it has issues staying connected to audio after computer is logged out or in safe mode. I have to unplug it just get audio back on. My Wife got herself a new computer and it didn't doesn't support optical so this was an alternative.

    Worked great for me. I had an old speaker system that still works well and uses AV and optical cables, but not HDMI. I am loth to change it or get rid of it. I am now able to connect my new TV system to the speakers by using this HMDI-AV converter. Very happy with it!

    Wow! This is a great solution to send HDMI video from a portable device to an HDMI-equipped projector. I was able to extract the audio to a separate outdoor portable speaker to have an outdoor movie with great sound.

    This is a MUST HAVE if you bought an Epson projector and plan on watching movies on it. It plays as the "middle-man", taking the signal from the DVR player and splitting it out, sending the video to the projector, and the audio to your sound system. It works great!

    Does exactly what its name says it does. Gives you a way to separate the audio from an HDMI source with no other audio out options. I bought this to remove the sound from a firestick plugged into a monitor with no speakers. Having the option between optical audio and standard 3.5 aux is nice. If you need something for this specific use then it works perfectly. It is 4K compatible also, a nice bonus if you're using that.
