4K@60Hz HDMI 2.0b Audio Extractor Converter Adapter Splitter, HDMI ARC + Optical Toslink SPDIF + 3.5mm Stereo Audio Out, Support HDCP2.2 Digital PCM DTS 5.1, (Optical/HDMI Cables Included)

It was not easy to find an HDMI extractor for XBOX X. Took a few tries and this is bulls eye. Supports 4K. ARC has a dedicated switch and not a button like some devices. And it works! I like having that option, but not so much for ARC as a technology. There is an audio delay setting in the TV that may need to be tuned as TV guesses how to match audio and video streams. TV has an optical output, but intentionally only outputs 2.0 stream. ARC solves that problem, but suffers audio sync issues. Luckily, this device can intercept digital stream before it hits TV and problem solved. Only downside, TV will not turn off automatically with XBOX as it would if directly plugged in. Bonus points for 5V power supply and TOSLINK optical cable included. Bottom line, this fixes big flaw in XBOX X design - no audio output. No need to buy a new receiver to have 4K video.

New TV didn’t have optical audio connection for the surround sound system. This works great from the HDMI connection to the optical connection with much better sound.

Oh boy! Not sure where to start. First of all: This HDMI 2.0b Audio Extractor, Splitter, Converter is not constructed of quality material. The main components is housed in a plastic casing that comes apart very easily without much force. It's like constructed of cheap particle board. The ports for inserting the HDMI and O cable in isn't soddered onto the main board firmly enough. They pushed in when I tried inserting the required cables. The video signal being transmitted from the unit to my TV is very shaky. You have to keep cycling the On/Off switch to stabilize the picture. Even then, after say 30 minutes of viewing a movie the color distorts and the audio becomes very staticky. Worst of all the unit stopped working after less then 3 weeks of use. Tried contacting customer service about the problem. They couldn't even understand what I clearly spelled out in the support email. Guess I know why so many Amazon consumers ask was a product produced in the United States. I wouldn't recommend this 4K@60Hz HDMI 2.0b Audio Extractor Splitter Converter, HDMI to HDMI + Optical Toslink SPDIF + 3.5mm Stereo Analog Audio, HDMI Audio Embedder Inserter for PS5,Xbox, Optical Fiber or any other similar product produced by Avedio Links. Caveat emptor (Let the buyer beware.)

I'm using this to get optical from my PC to a soundbar. It seems to work so far. It's rather cheaply made so we will see how long it lasts.

I used this to connect a Roku device to a computer monitor and route the Roku audio to computer speakers.

This product allows me to use an older surround receiver having optical inputs with a new television having HDMI eARC output. It works properly when the selected video source is the cable box, streaming services, or over the air broadcast. I can now get the surround channels from the television into my receiver. I don't even have a HDMI input plugged into it - just the eARC output from the television. This is exactly what I wanted when I purchased this device. However, the device arrived with a non-functioning 5V power adapter, and I am having no luck getting the vendor to send me one. This has caused me to deduct two stars. I still may return the product over that one thing.

Works like a charm!

I bought two Vizio soundbars, both require HDMI ARC or eARC. Unfortunately, the bedroom TV is an old Sony Bravia which works well but doesn't have either, just regular old HDMI ports. Googled a bit and decided on this extractor because it came with an optical cable. Other extractors mostly only provided .5mm to RCA stereo audio cables which can lead to lesser quality of sound. I didn't want to go down the rabbit hole of researching optical cables. I use a Chromecast device and connection was easy: 1. Connect the HDMI end of the Chromecast to the HDMI input port on the extractor; the Chromecast is plugged into the wall socket for power. 2. Connect one end of the provided HDMI cable to the TV HDMI port and the other end to the HDMI output port on the extractor. 3. Connect one end of the provided optical cable into the optical port on the soundbar and the other end to the optical port on the extractor. 4. Connect the mini-USB type A end of the provided USB cable into the port on the extractor and the other end into the provided power adapter; plug the adapter into wall socket for power. I've only used this extractor for 3 weeks so not sure about its longevity, but so far my ears are happy. YMMV.

Failed after three months do not buy this product

When the sound output on my 4k tv stopped working I added this in between the firetv cube and the tv to connect an amplifier lacking hdmi. Still get 4k and no need to have the tv on at all if only streaming music .

Me ha servido para conectar el conversor de ópticon para oír TV por audiofonos.

Me convient parfaitement.
