Amazon Basics 4K HDMI to HDMI and Audio (RCA Stereo or Spdif) Extractor Converter (Supports Apple TV, Fire TV and Blue-Ray Players), Black

I use this adapter to split my signal from my Apple TV and send audio to my receiver and video to my projector. I've been using this for a few years and it's worked great. The only quirk is that sometimes when I start everything up (I tend to unplug stuff when I know I won't use it for a while), the full audio won't come through when I start a movie. But all I have to do is unplug and replug that adpater and it's all good.

I read the instructions and hooked it up, and my Samsung TV was producing a dialogue box that stated that it was a non-ARC connection… at first, I thought the down converter was defective only to find I was not using a bidirectional cable! This fixed the problem, system works as intended, and I dodged a return! This is a great little converter! Just make sure you use the proper cabling… 🙂

This is a small device, 2 1/2" X 2 3/4" X 3/4" black-box that easily tucks in the corner of your cabinet and works as advertised. It will output simultaneously on the L&R RCA jacks and Toslink while also passing-thru the HDMI signal with audio. I almost sent it back, had RMA, for 'no RCA or Toslink output'. Checking one more time, I discovered that the HDMI output I was trying to use had no audio, it was filtered upstream. So be sure your HDMI cable connection has audio. I downgraded rating to 4-stars because it does not include a USB-A 5v DC adapter to make it work, had to get one.

Works amazing for my sound bar

i plugged in a hdmi into hdmi in. plugged a hdmi into hdmi out. plugged in a aux for some amazon basic speakers. no audio comes out. and if i unplug the speakers and plug them back in everything will flicker then i MIGHT get audio out of it... sometimes if i get audio it will play got about 5-10 minutes then ill hear a loud pop and then the screen will turn off for a few then turn back on but now with no audio... trying to get a small monitor going for a kids tv with a roku express the monitor doesnt have speakers and the kids broke the last tv they had so im just trying to get this one working untill they eventually break it then they prolly wont have a tv for a bit. but having no audio sucks honesty i would not recommend to buy this unless i happened to get a faulty one. but this is junk save your money

I ordered an open box item which was supposed to be "Like New" condition. Unfortunately it was missing the power cable so the unit won't function. This one seems like it's fine but instead of replacing with the same product I plan to buy one that uses a USB-C power supply instead. That way I can always swap out the power supply with another if it gets lost or broken. There's plenty of options in this price point, so my recommendation is to buy one with more universal power option instead.

I bought it because my tv is older and doesn’t have toslink/hdmi ARC or anything i can use to connect it directly to my Sonos Ray soundbar. I have a roku stick that i’ve been using to stream on my tv for years, and I plugged in the roku into the adapter, and the tv & sonos into the output side. It worked perfectly, there is no lag. if you read the instructions, it tells you that clicking the button on the adapter and getting it to flash red means it is on 5.1. my sonos supports the 5.1 and it sounds nice and dynamic as if there was no adapter and it was connected straight to the tv. Definitely recommend, saved me from having to buy a brand new tv

I have a projector home theater setup with an older, non-HDMI compatible surround sound head unit. This wasn't an issue when I was using an old Xbox one as my media player because the Xbox had a "Toslink" is optical audio out option that could go to the stereo. However, every modern streaming device (Roku, Apple TV, etc) re just HDMI out, so when I switched to a Roku Ultra I had no way to get audio. This worked great, and the 5.1 channel DTS/Dolby surround option (press the button, light turns on) is putting out great audio. Saved me from huge expense and effort of upgrading an older home theater projection setup and stereo. Recommend. I've only had it working for a day, so I'll try to update my review if the product stops working in under a year.
