Customers are saying

Customers appreciate the Optical/Coaxial Digital-to-Analog Audio Converter for its great sound quality and ease of use. Many find it compatible with their existing setups, especially when HDMI is not an option, and consider it a good value for the price. The only notable drawback mentioned is the absence of a volume control feature.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged).

      Hi Dunddy.

      I know the feeling of not being able to get something to work easy and seamlessly. As an Optical-to-Analog Converter, this product works on one way, it converts Digital Optical signal into Analog RCA signal. It does NOT work the other way around. If you have any doubts, please, give us a call at 877-467-4289 for specific troubleshooting and further orientation on this.
