    Worked as intended, had no issues getting my old LG sound system to work with my new NanoTV. With it having multiple ways to connect everything sound wise with no compromise when it comes to visual output. It is amazing

The associate suggested the sound extractor and it works great i get more sound and i could still use my projector to play movies at home. Thank you for everything.

    I spent more than I’d hoped but this little device has been essential in my theater set up in a fifty year old auditorium. I can pull the sound from the source to go through the auditorium speakers while displaying the movie on the auditorium screen for a movie theater like experience. Happy with the purchase, but not sure it shouldn’t be cheaper.

    good addition with PS5 to use optical input. You lose 3d sound but 5.1 surround sound is awesome and you have equalizer to fine tune to your liking

    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.

    Makes adding a sound system to an Epson projector

    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!

    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.

    I needed a way to pull the audio stream out of my HDMI input before sending it to a projector that had no audio output (unless I wanted to always watch silent moves). This fits the bill well and is easy to use with multiple output options so I can pick speakers that work for me. Nothing super fancy, but does what I ask it.

    Problem Solved

    My TV’s optical output physically broke (pushed in). I needed an alternate way to get sound from the TV to my stereo receiver. I was using the INSIGNIA DAC (NS-HZ313) to make all this work. It worked fine until the optical out broke on the TV. I figured that I’d try this HDMI audio extractor instead. The sound is actually better going this route instead of using the DAC. The DAC worked quite well, but the HDMI extractor works better.

    Bought for Xbox Series X

    Bought this to get an optical connection for my Xbox series x and my Astro A50s. It worked well but it was just too much overall money to spend when the headsets should be working better without optical. This also added too many cables and too many breaks in the hdmi connections.

    Works well. using a monitor(without a speaker) as a output for fire stick and this helps me to add a speaker through aux. But the first one died in a day. I had to return and get a new one. Been using it for 2 months with no issues

    If your using a cable box, this should be the first in the line of connection If not, some of these other devices ( such as using splitter, audio digital to analog conversion ETC) If you don't, some of these other devices may not work correctly.

    Works as advertised but it's a bit messy - hooked into the back of a Blu Ray player then a pass through cable and a stand alone power adaptor connected to it. This wouldn't be needed if modern devices had more than just the HDMI out put.

    I have a 65" tv that the sound went out on I have a sound bar but to my dismay the sound from My PS5 didn't work through the TV and the PS5 does not have a sound output. This did the trick it easily split the sound from the HDMI coming from the PS5 and output it to the Optical output for my sound bar. Brilliant Just the perfect thing.
