What is Reddit's opinion of 4K HDMI Audio Extractor Splitter, avedio links 1080P HDMI to HDMI Audio Converter + Optical Toslink SPDIF + RCA L/R Stereo Analog Audio, HDMI Audio Adapter for Fire Stick, Blu-Ray Player?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I think this one or one like it because you have to power the chromecast right? A splitter without power won’t work.

Edit. I didn’t realize that one came with power too.

I recently updated to one of these. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XJITK7E/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00 As I too use a vintage yamaha amp for the bedroom. I have my xbox one plugged into it and the audio goes right to the amp and then I have a 30ft HDMI wire going to the PJ.

What speakers you’re using probably aren’t meant to be used with a TV, but they do exist

There are adapters that convert HDMI input to DVI out and 3.5mm or RCA audio out. Here’s one.

i also bought this projector refurbished from epson and i love it for movie nights and i use a roku with it and this audio extractor that works good and use a rca to 3.5mm cable to run to a portable bookshelf lg stereo system

Does this work without a TV connected to the HDMI port as OP is asking? The Q&A section says it won't fix HDCP issues, so my assumption is that it would still require a TV to be hooked up.

Also, your link isn't working for me, but stripping out the reference data seems to fix that (could be because I'm not in Canada). For anyone else having trouble: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00XJITK7E/

something like this

You’d have to connect something like this

Sorry are you looking for the same info I was asking? If so Ive found that an HDMI to Optical splitter then a DAC to headphones/Speakers is playable.

Here's the HDMI splitter I'm using.

I have been having the same issue (ie using optical output on tv - back to dongle which is connected to PS5). Issue…multiple…depending on what settings are selected, on both PS5 and TV Samsung.

At best, the audio quality, while combined and controlled by single volume wheel on the headset, seems back to normal; however, no matter what configurations I select for under the audio settings for PS5 and Tv, I just can’t seem to find the honeypot (ie “splitting the audio signal for independent chat and game volume controls - or “master volume as described above)

1) PS5 audio output set to TV (not to Stealth 700 Gen 1) 2) TV audio output set to digital audio (paraphrasing) 3) dongle to PS5 with the optical cable connected to tv 4) hdmi directly to tv (arc)(I’m actually gonna try another HDMI port on the tv.

Also: just hooked up HDMI audio extractor, and functionality to my TB Stealth 700 is restored…..buuuut, I’m not quite happy with the resolution report (HDR disabled - not sure if it’s the extractor, or the PS4 Pro HDMI cable I used from extractor to TV)….also the extractor (4K HDMI Audio Extractor Splitter, avedio links 1080P HDMI to HDMI Audio Converter + Optical Toslink SPDIF + RCA L/R Stereo Analog Audio, HDMI Audio Adapter for Chromecast, Fire Stick,Blu-Ray Player https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00XJITK7E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_K9M9JYE33GXSKWMN6R1F?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1) spec says that it will only support 4K at 30 hz…..sooo, I’m not sure how I feel about that..downscaling doesn’t appear to be readily available option for 4K Samsung tv ($700 a few years back from Best Buy)

If you don't want to upgrade your home theater receiver you can always buy one of these to add an optical cable. 4K HDMI Audio Extractor Splitter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00XJITK7E/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_KEVSNV68KXCNGXKT8YNT?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Problem. Optoma hd27e which I only use for Chromecast needs to connect to my samsung hwq60t . The only audio out on the projector is the aux jack.

Now, I am wondering if I can use something like thishdmi video / audio splitter in order to run a dedicated audio HDMI signal to the Samsung.

I'm open to other ideas.

Hey y'all, so I have a problem that I really didn't think would be a problem at all, and I'm not sure what solution to go with... Bare with me here.

I have an HD Trinitron KV-30HS510, and it has a DVI-D (w/ HDCP support) input on the back. I'd like to use that input for a Nintendo Switch and a PS4, the problem being that both of those consoles only have HDMI out. The picture comes through just fine with an HDMI to DVI-D cable, however, the audio needs to come through seperately obviously to the RCA ports tied to that input.

For some reason, doing aux -> rca audio just isn't cutting it; there's horrible interference and it sounds like shit, like blaring static over the audio.

So I got an HDMI audio splitter, this one to be exact. The sound comes out of the splitter perfectly with just rca audio cables, but it doesn't get any picture. For some reason the box doesn't work with my HDMI -> DVI cable; I tested it on a flatscreen display with HDMI output and it sends a signal just fine through a normal HDMI cable.

So I'm not sure where to go from here. Try another HDMI audio extractor and hope it tolerates the adapter cable...? Give up on using the DVI input altogether and get an HDMI -> component box? Maybe some of y'all have similar models; what do y'all do for HDMI inputs?

I use one of these with a Roku to powered speakers. It should work for you.

HDMI audio extractor will allow you to pass video to the projector & pass audio out via RCA to 3.5 Jack that’ll connect to the Sonos.

No, they're different pieces of tech. For your needs of going from XSX to PC Monitor, you would ideally need something like this: https://www.amazon.com/LinkS-Extractor-Splitter-Converter-Chromecast/dp/B00XJITK7E/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=36GFU336JD0RJ&keywords=hdmi+extractor&qid=1639428940&sprefix=hdmi+extractor%2Caps%2C116&sr=8-3

I haven't used one personally so I can't vouch for it, but this can help you if you need to get your audio to different sources. This doesn't solve your amplification (volume) concerns, but makes using some of your other equipment possible, like potentially using your preamp for power if it can see and amplify the signal.

I still think it's easier to go the route of a 3.5mm aux cable to an amp, but, you at least have a few options.

Audio hum can be annoying to track down. Its a ground problem somewhere. either a ground loop, bad shielding or mismatched impedance. I don't think you did anything wrong honestly. But if you figure out that you did, I'd love to know so I can watch out for myself.

I like to use these instead of the built in D-A converters. I've had way better luck https://smile.amazon.com/LinkS-Extractor-Splitter-Converter-Chromecast/dp/B00XJITK7E/ref=sr\_1\_4?

I’ve not used this, but it would be the option I would try:

What about a recent Chromecast plugged into an HDMI audio extractor (like this one? I'm guessing it's also 48kHz.

The easiest way that doesn’t need upgrades right now, is to plug the speakers into your controller headphone back, that’s the easiest No-upgrade solution. But if you have a few dollars this will make everything easier for you to connect most things.

Your second amp, the one for the bass shakers can get its input from Y-split on the input to one of the subs. The disadvantage to this is you can't independently control the cutoff & crossover for the shakers. If you buy a DSP amp, feed it full audio, you then get to control cutoff & crossover based on what feels best (music concerts & movies want vastly different settings).

I don't know of a reliable way of extracting that combined audio from this receiver, perhaps take the HDMI monitor, and feed it into this:

https://www.amazon.com/LinkS-Extractor-Splitter-Converter-Chromecast/dp/B00XJITK7E

Beware, it may not support all audio encodings (ATMOS etc) depending on how your receiver encodes the monitor output.

Or look at SPDIF if you have optical out?

Something like this would be a cheap workaround. It will pull the audio channel out of the hdmi and allow you to use an optical cable or RCA to go into the soundbar. Check your TV too as a lot of newer models have optical or coaxial outs that do what this unit does.

I agree with OP's response though. If you have the space, a receiver and passive speakers are so much better.

You could use a passthrough device that will use HDMI as normal but then go out HDMI + Optical like shown here on Amazon. The only problem is if you are wanting to utilize the HDMI 2.1, I have not seen a passthrough online that supports 2.1.

You could do the opposite and run Audio to the front of the room and that's less obtrusive. See my above

> Your cheapest (and most reliable) solution would be to use an HDMI audio extractor to RCA and run RCA cables to your speaker system.

Your soundbar has RCA in anyway.

Correct. It may make sense to you, but we've just recently gotten truly bluetooth earbuds with very minimal video sync issues.

Bluetooth is a digital medium, so there is transcoding involved. Reliable RF systems aren't cheap, both because of quality and bandwidth. Your cheapest (and most reliable) solution would be to use an HDMI audio extractor to RCA and run RCA cables to your speaker system.

People who get projectors installed have their AV system in the front of the room and just run a video line to the projector.

Why not pair an HDMI switcher with one of these? That way, you could keep the quality of your Sansui (by keeping the Sansui) and have your HDMI switcher? This box has a passthrough, so run the output of the HDMI switcher to this, and run the HDMI passthrough to your TV. Then plug the RCA cables into the aux input of the Sansui.

Sorry for the dumb question, but why is an amp necessary?

What would happen if I plugged the R-51M directly into this HDMI splitter that we have set up?

Something like this I guess? console -> that -> el gato. I don't know if it actually "extracts" the audio i.e. the hdmi out no longer carries it or not though, if that's even possible, but you could just delay the audio in OBS for the stream. (send it through a 3.5mm to your Line In)

I use this to split the audio feed from my consoles hdmi and I connect it directly to my mixer, I also have my pc/ music audio connected separately, you get all the audio and the live feed from your sources, just be sure to mute your cap card in obs

I hope I understood well enough to help

get an audio extractor.

Other than the HDMI out you're probably already using for your monitor, or the monitor having 5.1 audio outs (which I doubt) the only other option I can think of is an external HDMI "extractor" that splits video signal to the monitor and audio to the receiver.

Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/LinkS-Extractor-Splitter-Converter-Chromecast/dp/B00XJITK7E/ref=sr_1_3?crid=14G236AXJG586&keywords=HDMI%2Baudio%2Bvideo%2Bsplitter&qid=1670342350&sprefix=hdmi%2Baudio%2Bvideo%2Bsplit%2Caps%2C270&sr=8-3&th=1

Where you use the SPDIF output to go to the receiver.

https://www.amazon.com/LinkS-Extractor-Splitter-Converter-Chromecast/dp/B00XJITK7E/

HDMI audio extractors can give you all of the audio output options you could ever want.

Maybe use a HDMI audio extractor?

https://www.amazon.com/LinkS-Extractor-Splitter-Converter-Chromecast/dp/B00XJITK7E

One of these perhaps? Extracts the audio and sent it over optical

https://www.amazon.com/LinkS-Extractor-Splitter-Converter-Chromecast/dp/B00XJITK7E

The only real way to do this would be to first get a HDMI audio splitter, something like this, which you would hook up to your XSX. This splits the audio signal out to its optical port, and passes video on via the output which you would hook to your display.

Then you would need an optical audio bluetooth transmitter, something like this, which you would hook into the optical out of the above HDMI audio splitter. This device has bluetooth, and should pair with any typical bluetooth audio device such as your speakers.

I'm not endorsing any of those linked products I've never used them, but they are just examples of the types of devices that could make this work.

I recently tried with the following device and it worked fine:

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00XJITK7E/ref=ppx\_yo\_dt\_b\_asin\_title\_o04\_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Get a regular Chromecast and a hdmi audio extractor like this one: https://smile.amazon.com/LinkS-Extractor-Splitter-Converter-Chromecast/dp/B00XJITK7E

​

The DAC in the Chromecast Audio isn't the best. Most people use it for the optical output, so if you're not concerned with that and need the ease of use of the casting, I think my suggestion works good for you. And if in the future you do get a DAC, you'll just need to connect it using the toslink output and done.

This is the one I got. Works great.

That’s only an HDMI selector switch, with no optical output (though some switches do have optical out — I use an HDMI 1.4 4x2 matrix switch, with optical tied to HDMI output A).

This is what you need: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00XJITK7E

This is the one I bought. Works for what I use it for.

https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00XJITK7E

Would something like this work? https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00XJITK7E/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_2QZC8V20EX121J82V6QE?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Short answer is your TV or Sonos is fine for the karaoke music but not recommended to sing through. Those home audio devices are not designed to handle the peaks generated while singing. You could damage the speakers.

I recommend using the TV to display the lyrics, the Sonos for the music (possibly), and a powered speaker for singing and maybe for the music using the MG06X.

I recommend using karafun.com for streaming karaoke. the app can run on many devices including TV, PC, tablets, phones. The app is free to try so I'd check to see if it will run on your Samsung. If it doesn't then you'll need to find a device to run Karafun and connect it to the Samsung via HDMI or use Chromecast.

The karaoke music could be played on the Samsung or Sonos but I recommend having a little more control over the music by extracting the audio from the HDMI stream and route it into the MG06X using a device like this.

https://smile.amazon.com/LinkS-Extractor-Splitter-Converter-Chromecast/dp/B00XJITK7E

From the MG06X you would send the output to a powered speaker like this

https://smile.amazon.com/Rockville-BPA10-Professional-Powered-Bluetooth/dp/B01C564PZ2?th=1

using a cable like this

https://smile.amazon.com/LinkS-Extractor-Splitter-Converter-Chromecast/dp/B00XJITK7E/ref=sr_1_4? Use one of these. I love them. Very handy for this sort of setup.

Check the spec of the monitor.

Your other way is take a splice from the HDMI cable using something like this - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00XJITK7E .

I would really not spend 4-500 bucks like the others are suggesting. I'd try a Audio to HDMI converter and a switch.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00XJITK7E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_TT91GYEABFXH78VQ4NGD

Piggybacking off of this since our setup sounds similar. I had to use this HDMI splitter to split the HDMI video from the Apple TV that goes into my audio receiver (1 CBL/SAT) and then run the RCA cables to the mixer. Then the RCA output from mixer to the same analog-version (1 CBL/SAT) of my audio receiver.

I have a Denon receiver, so I had to change the settings to force digital video (HDMI) and analog audio (RCA).

The only downside with this configuration is that you either need a second Apple TV dedicated to karaoke due to the audio downgrade. Or if you're fine with only having stereo-only audio (no more 7.1 surround sound), then the mixer needs to be on at all times.

I ended up buying a HTPC since my Karaoke Forever setup needs to have a server running anyways, so I use the above stereo-only config on that and my Apple TV still has the full surround sound experience.

Your welcome. I don't have either the shield or the pro my understanding is that the pro has more ram and storage. For the $50 dollar difference I would say go for the pro. As for choosing an audio extractor. A lot of them are similar I picked this one up because I found it on amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00XJITK7E works well for me. Just make sure to see if they support the codecs you want them to. Also, yes everything was still in sync.

I use this on my laptop to pull audio off the HDMI output which should be a better audio source than the headphone jack then run it through the mixer and mic input before going out to the output speakers. I turn down the TV completely. I don't want screaming & feedback destroying my TV speakers anyway...

https://www.amazon.com/LinkS-Extractor-Splitter-Converter-Chromecast/dp/B00XJITK7E/

You may need to use a Ground Loop Filter in the RCA out line depending on if your amp gets a hum from the laptop or this splitter power supply

You will need to tell your laptop to send the audio over the HDMI out

This is what you're looking for

Along with an optical cable long enough to get to the speaker from your PC.

Could always buy one of these baddies. Only downside being its clunky look, extra power cord, and additional rca to 3.5mm

Your best bet would be to upgrade to a modern receiver that has HDMI inputs, then you could just run a mini-DP to HDMI cable from your laptop to your receiver for audio, then run a HDMI cable from your receiver to the projector for video.

If a new receiver is out of your price range, you could try something like this: https://www.amazon.com/LinkS-Extractor-Splitter-Converter-Chromecast/dp/B00XJITK7E/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=hdmi+coax+audio+adapter&qid=1598759556&sr=8-4

Then run a mDP to HDMI cable from your laptop to the converter, an HDMI from the converter to your projector, and your optical cable from the converter to the receiver.

I think something like this would work. Connect the 3.5 mm output to the line in on your pc. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00XJITK7E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_fsWTybM92GTQE

So, like this
