VPFET HDMI Audio Extractor 4K HDMI to Optical 3.5mm AUX Audio Adapter Splitter Converter Support HDCP Digital DTS 5.1 PCM

Worked as described and was easy to install. I bought this for an older ASUS monitor and the external speakers were quiet since it had to go into.tbe headphone jack. This worked like a charm and now I have full sound out of the external speakers.

Works perfectly! I only use the 2-channel analog output, so i can't speak to the digital out or the 5.1 output

I bought this since the XBox Series X doesn't have a built-in TOSLINK port (thanks, Phil). Unfortunately, while the device clearly physically supports 4k and DTS Digital, with the XBox I have to choose one or the other. With the audio selector switch in "Pass" and an optical cable connected to my Denon receiver, the XBox detects (incorrectly) that only stereo out is supported (no surround sound), but it will output a 4k signal to my projector. When I shift the selector switch to the manual 5.1 position, the XBox now offers Dolby and DTS Digital Surround options, both of which work with my receiver and sound amazing, but the video resolution drops to 1080p. There's still an option to switch to 4k, and it works (projector detects and displays a 4k input signal), but when I click the "Keep" button to maintain that resolution everything shifts back to 1080p, and the XBox "Video Info" dialog incorrectly reports that my display doesn't support 4k at either 60 or 120 Hz.To be fair, the root causes here are typical Microsoft arrogance: saving maybe a buck per console by dropping a port that most customers never use (but that they supported on the 360 and XBox One, and for which a lot of gaming-specific accessories (headphones) exist), and then failing to provide a manual "Trust me, I want DTS output" option when their auto-detection fails. And I can't think it's anything but a bug that the Series X will let me select, and correctly display, a 4k resolution, but then insist that it's unsupported and auto-shift back. However, I think there's also a flaw in the way VPFET implements the audio EDIDs; when the selector switch is in PASS the extractor doesn't correctly report capabilities of the downstream optical device, while when it's in 5.1" option it doesn't correctly report capabilities of the downstream video device. There may well be a technical reason for the former (I'm not an S/PDIF expert), but the latter is surely avoidable: either overwrite just the audio portion of the EDID coming from the downstream display (leaving the supported resolutions intact), or simulate some maximally-capable UHD device. Whatever they are reporting when the switch is in 5.1 clearly isn't satisfactory for some game consoles.Anyway, aside from this the device works great, even with other 4k sources, but I wanted to put a warning out there for anyone thinking of connecting it to an XBox that you may want to go with one of the more expensive name brands with verified support.

Used this to get my Samsung sound bar to connect to my Apple TV and projector. The sound bar has Bluetooth, but my projector doesn’t connect to it so I hooked everything up through here using the optical and HDMI. worked perfectly.

Work as it should I wish it had more connection options but I knew what I was paying for

I can’t give too much review because it didn’t work for my TV but if it’ll work for your TV, I think it’s an awesome

Does not come with an HDMI cord so you will need one for the HDMI-out as well as a usb power block because it interestingly doesn’t come with arguably the two most important things for it to work. If you have those to things it works great.

With over ear headphones plugged in directly, the sound is almost gone. With my BT transmitter it was okay. Still not great. The sync is slightly off. If you're a stickler, you may have to purchase something else for syncing audio with video.With the chromecast, the power cord for the extractor is not needed. Power comes in on the HDMI from the Chromecast.Most of my volume issues are.my own. Sound does seem to dip down after being used for awhile. Could be a chromecast issue. When I disconnect and reconnect from the video/audio source, it picks back up a. It....then drops off again later.Just my experience on day one. I'm using a PC monitor with no audio in/out.
