HDMI Audio Extractor Converter Splitter,AGPtEK Optical 1080P HDMI to HDMI + SPDIF +RCA L/R Stereo Compatible with PC Laptop HDTV Projector

It does what I needed it to do. I have a Panasonic VT60 Plasma TV which is strictly digital audio out, and I do not have a Audio/Video Receiver but I do have two sets of Powered Speakers which are both 2.1 and both are equipped with analog only inputs. I also purchased a Panasonic DMP BDT 460 Smart Blu-ray player which is also digital out only, so I connected the Agptek to the TV or the Blu-Ray Player using an HDMI cable out to the Agptek and then from this device I connected to my Klipsch 2.1 powered speakers. Granted it isn't the same as a dedicated 5.1 or 7.1 Audio system, but it is far and away beyond the sound of the TV's speaker system, which I have to admit is far better than almost any in set sound system I have heard. With this set up watching movies on Blu-ray or DVD is a much more full featured experience and until I invest in an upgraded sound system this is working very well for me. Thanks Agptek for a product that does exactly what you described it as being capable of doing!

It worked for a year then gave out.

I'm using this to plug an Amazon FireTV Stick into my TV that does not have an HDMI input. I plug the Stick into the input side, then I plug the output audio into a receiver. For the video side, I use an HDMI to DVI cable that plugs into the TV (oddly, the TV is new enough to have DVI, but old enough to not have HDMI). It produces a really, really nice picture. The audio quality is great. If you have a TV with no built-in speakers and a receiver, this is the item for you.UPDATE, 3/31/17: I've since been using it to connect a PS4 to the same TV via the same HDMI to DVI cable. The thing is still chugging along. I can't tell of any degredation in video or audio signal quality compared to using it on my PC monitor. Still recommend.

I originally bought this as a way to adapt a Chromecast to an old amp I use to drive my garage and outdoor speakers. (See also my review of theCompuLab Display Emulator.) Worked great.But once I got hooked on outdoor audio controlled by my smartphone, I decided I needed video as well. So I bought a projector with HDMI inputs. BUT... the projector had no outputs (e.g., to drive the amp). This gadget came to the rescue again. Now I put this adapter in the garage, run the Chromecast into the input side, run RCA audio out to the amp, and run a 50ft active HDMI cable out the back door to the projector when I use it in the back yard. The kids and neighbors love to hang out back there for outdoor movie nights supported by my outdoor speakers and all controlled remotely from my phone/tablet.

Been using this with a XRocker gaming chair since Christmas. It works great. Set up is a little complicated but I am not the most technologically inclined. With what I am using it with there are wires that come out of it every which way. My only wish was that the external power was smaller. The plug is huge! Other than that we have the Xrocker connected to the Xbox One and the TV just fine. No noticable drop in TV quality.

This adapter is amazing and exactly what I needed. For some reason our older Sharp 42" 1080p TV wasn't passing along the audio signal from our Roku 2 to our home theater system, leaving us with brilliant HD video and no audio other than the crappy TV speakers. This splitter allows me to run the HDMI into our TV and the digital optical audio directly into the home theater system, circumventing the TV entirely. It worked perfectly without any setup and the audio is perfectly synced with the video, even though they're coming through two different cables. Nothing like this adapter exists at Walmart, at Radio Shack or at any other place I checked. Total lifesaver!

It works great. The only problem I have is that the audio level that comes out of the convertor is a very low level. I had to turn the audio all the way up on my tv and it wasn't even loud enough. I solved the problem by adding an in line amplifier.

No complaints, easy to set up, and it did exactly what I needed.I have a set of headphones for my husband to watch TV at night with the TV volume turned off. Our new TV did not have an audio out port, so I used this to run the HDMI cable through so that I could choose either the headphones or the TV. This product does allow you to use both (because the use of the headphones does not disable the TV volume), but I like that I can switch without having to physically unplug the output cord, as I did with our previous TV.

Je suis très content de ce convertisseur HDMI -> HDMI + Spdif.On lit des commentaires disant que le 5.1 ne marche pas, notamment avec un PC. Ça fonctionne très bien, mais j'ai passé des jours à trouver comment faire. Même le fabricant de mon PC MSI avançait que la sortie HDMI ne le permettait pas et pourtant si !La solution est le "Bitstreaming" (le son n'est pas décodé par le PC, mais par le home cinéma)Quelques conseils pour ceux qui vont galérer comme moi, pour du vrai 5.1 depuis un PC. J'ai dû :- Brancher le tout en HDMI + optique Spdif : PC -> AGPtek Convertisseur audio/extracteur HDMI vers HDMI + audio -> optique Spdif vers le home cinéma (Logitech Z906 pour moi) et HDMI vers vidéo projecteur/TV- Mettre le commutateur sur 5.1- Utiliser le lecteur MPC-HC, en activant l'option son Bitstreaming. Ouvrir le lecteur seulement après avoir tout connecté, allumé et choisi le périphérique audio par défaut dans Windows (nom du projecteur chez moi).- Utiliser des fichiers ou Blu-ray avec son DTS ou AC3 5.1. En cas de fichiers AC3+ (Dolby Digital HD), convertir avec un logiciel comme Handbrake en AC3 (ce format est pris en charge par peu de matériel, donc converti en PCM 5.1 par le lecteur; format qui n'est pas pris en charge par certains matériels non plus... Une autre option moins bonne mais plus rapide est d'activer le Downmixing en Dolby Pro Logic II dans le filtre audio du lecteur)Après de longues recherches et bidouilles j'ai du vrai 5.1 qui déchire, même si Windows voit le matériel comme du 2.0

Works perfectly. Using it to divide video and audio between projector and avr system, from my ps4 pro.I keep it on 5.1 channel setting. Dolby and DTS are going through perfectly.4k goes up to 60hz vs 30hz as advertised, which is a plus! Just won't pass through hdr content.I'm guessing it's not up to the latest hdcp standard. But that's ok. This is a temporary solution for my broken avr system as it's not able to pass video to my projector, and with this I have an optical cable to the avr and the hdmi goes to the projector. Win - win for me!PS. If the audio doesn't come, make sure whatever media device you have attached is only allowed one codec at a time and that multiple are not checked. The optical cable will not talk to the avr to know what codecs are available. You have to choose a codec manually on the media device. Dolby digital or dts are the best option IMO.

Bought this product once, returned it as the charger was not working, then returned and got replacement, in which the charger was working but the HDMI output of the same was not wprking. Now that the returned date is gone, i have to.sit with this faulty product.

J'ai un lecteur de Blu-Ray, et un téléviseur un peu agé. Le premier a une sortie HDMI, et le second une entrée Peritel (pouah !). J'ai donc dû acheter un boitier convertisseur avec une entrée HDMI et une sortie Peritel. Avec les cables correspondants, ça devait résoudre le problème. C'est vrai pour l'image, mais pas du tout pour le son. Avec le volume à fond sur le téléviseur, il arrive qu'on ne comprenne pas les paroles, tant c'est faible.J'ai essayé ensuite plusieurs autres convertisseurs de modèle et de marque différents, mais sans succès, le volume du son restait très faiblard dans tous les cas.J'ai pourtant trouvé une solution parfaite à ce problème.J'ai acheté le boitier qui fait l'objet de ce commentaire, HDMI/HDMI, mais avec une sortie audio analogique sous forme des deux prises RCA rouge et blanches traditionnelles, que j'ai raccordées à un petit ensemble de deux baffles avec ampli. Et ça résoud tout, le son est géré à part.Si ça vous intéresse, voici la référence des deux pages Amazon où vous pouvez trouver ces produits :Pour le boitier avec sortie audio :https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B00TOBFSTE/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1Pour les deux baffles :https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B00AY9ZZTI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Pros: Works as expected. The wiring is easy and convenient. There is a switch that allows you to choose whether to send a 2.0 or a 5.1 audio signal. It works fine, although I'm not sure why it's needed given that you can usually make this choice in the device which is sending the signal itself.Cons: The wire connecting the DC to the Converter is a bit to short, but it's clean so that may not bother you. After having use this item for some weeks, I have encountered many issues where the video signal struggles to make it to the TV. I am positive that all devices are well connected. It's nothing too cumbersome, but it should taken into consideration by future customers because it is quite recurrent and a bit annoying. I have never encountered any problem with the audio signal though.Verdict: Recommended to get your AV Receiver to output the audio signal through S/PDIF or composite if it's otherwise impossible.
