    I recently shopped at Best Buy and the experience was excellent. Overall, Best Buy remains my go-to for electronics because of their reliable service, good deals, and helpful staff. Highly recommend!

    Works as advertised. Using to send audio to vintage stereo equipment from Apple TV 4K for steaming.

    This HDMI audio extractor works great. I have it hooked up to my projector because the sound was subpar on the speaker that I have because I found out that the projector is not all that loud. Even when I use my speaker bar the sound can be muffled a bit. Whit this extractor the sound is very clear.

    Occasionally freaks out with resolution changes. Flickering is the main symptom -- if you get flickering, check for a constant resolution option

    Worked perfectly at 4K @ 60hz with my PS5 and SteelSeries Pro headset. Unfortunately the quality of sound was better with my old Mixamp and A50's plugged directly to USB and that's it. If needed, this extractor works great - it just adds to the spaghetti mess which is now your PS5 setup lol!

    I had an overly excited child pull just a touch to hard on my optical output cable and in the process, messed up the output jack on the television. This little gizmo bridges the gap perfectly in replacing the output for digital audio by rerouting it through my reciever.

    Can't really say much but that it did exactly what I wanted it to do. I had bought a new receiver and I wanted a optical port from my TV to the stereo just for OTA stuff. It works!

    I needed something to work with my vintage analog receiver to run into an HDMI Oppo BD player and this little audio extractor gadget saved the day. Much better than an external DCA. Highly reconneded.

    Nice little device! I was hooking up a Chromecast TV to an older computer monitor that had no built in speakers. To get audio, I used this device. Chromcast plugged into the front, audio lead out the back (used 3.5mm headphone jack) to my speakers and Bob's your uncle.

    This device simple to setup and works well. My only minor concern is that it feels like it's made of cheap plastic which leaves me a bit concerned about durability.

    Needed a solution to add a PS5 (no optical audio output) to my entertainment system with an older Denon AV receiver. This solved my problem. Now the PS5 video looks terrific, and sounds terrific. I'm very happy with my purchase.

      That’s such a clever setup, Jonalthan! Using the extractor to route your Switch audio through your PC headset while chatting on Discord sounds like a great way to stay connected and immersed. Glad it’s working perfectly for you!

    I think it was too expensive for what it can do. I am also missing a piece.
