    The worked as designed for my needs. I could not use an optical cable for the amp installed so through the ARC I was able to get the RCA output needed.

    Works exactly as it says! After buying another product that didn't work at all, I bought this at my local Best Buy. Now i can use my 7.1 surround sound with no issues! My system is older, and i can only use an optical cable.

    Used this on a Blu-ray player that lacked separate audio outs and a projector that did the same! This allowed us to split the audio to a system that brought life to the movies and events we had!

    Got this so I could use my Turtle Beach headphones with my Xbox Series X. The headphones rely on an optical connection which they got rid of on the Series X. Been using it for a few weeks now and no glitches. I'm using it with a 1080p projector so I can't comment on how it works with 4k yet.

    HDMI - audio extractor (INCREDIBLE product)

    This is a Godsend !!! I have a BOSE lifestyle 28 system which does not have an HDMI input so when I bought my projector I needed to figure out how to get sound from BOSE when using the Projector. This audio extractor has an optical output which I use to connect to the BOSE via optical input. The sound is great.

    I decided to hook up my iPhone to a monitor so I had a bigger screen to watch stuff on. I get an HDMI converter cable, and the big picture is great!!! But I couldn't hear anything as my monitor is picture only. This item to the rescue! Exactly what I needed. Clear sounding on my headphones.

    I biught this for my series x because they deleted the optical cable andy 300 dollar astro a50s sounded terrible. Everything worked great until I tried to watch a movie. This product DOESNT SUPPORT 4K at 24hz. (Standard for most 4k video) if im wrong or set it up incorrectly, my bad, but I dont think I am. As soon as I hook it up my xbox says it doesnt support 4k @24hz

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought this for my Xbox Series X console because it lacks the optical audio port. The 4K/HDR throughput is great but it’s capped at 60fps. Keep that mind if buying for the same reason. Other than that, the device works great. I recommend this to anyone that wants the option for optical audio for peripherals that lack the port.
