I needded a solution to get the audio from a Playstation 5 and also if needed a switch console. The reason being that I bought the Alienware AW2725DW Monitor which is a great monitor for PS5, Switch and PC but unfortunately has no inbuilt speakers or even an audio jack plug to connect an external speaker to. I set up the monitor with the PS5 but had no audio unless the PS5 controller was connected to headphones which is not always the most suitable way of listening to the game you are playing. I did some searching on the internet and saw this product advertised and after reading the reviews and the product advert I was fairly confident that it would solve the issue I had. I must say that the images of this product make it look a lot larger than it actually is (approx 3 inches x 2 inches) and when it was delivered I thought it was the incorrect item, however with further investigation it was correct and I could see how it connected for my needs. I did need another HDMI cable which connected from the PS5 to the Audio Extractor and then the original one from the audio extractor to the monitor which would provide the video from the PS5 to the monitor. Then I connected the audio jack plug to an external speaker which was also from Amazon which has RGB lighting to match the rest of the gaming setup. The external speaker connects to the monitor via USB to get power, so the speaker will not work unless the monitor is switched on. The audio extractor does come with a small USB C to USB A cable which also connects to the monitor for it's power. I set the 'dip switches' to suit the 4K60Hz 4:2:0 2CH HDR setting and it all worked very well. So now the audio comes from the PS5 through the audio extractor to the external speaker and the video comes from the PS5 to the monitor with no sync issues at all. If the user wants to listen to the audio from the game using headphones just unplug the audio jack plug that is connected to the external speaker, then connect the audio jack plug from the headphones to the audio extractor jack plug outlet. Very happy with this solution to my issue and one that was not too expensive to resolve, the audio extractor was £29.99 and the external speaker was £27.99 both from Amazon. I also read that Playstation are going to release their own speakers later this year called - PULSE Elevate™ wireless speakers but no information on price or release date as yet. I hope this review helps anyone with a similar issue that I had. :)

Worked really well plug and play nice bit of kit

I bought to split the stereo PCM audio from a Firestick 4K, mainly to allow me to use Disney+ with a PC monitor (since they currently limit streams to 720p on Windows computers). This means this review won't touch on either the ability of the device to handle 5.1 channel audio or how the device functions as a scaler. I also have a 60fps 1080p non-HDR display, so I can't comment on HDR or >60fps performance. I have the device set up to connect to a dedicated DAC via the Optical SPDIF output. It can play both Disney+ and Amazon Prime Video without and HDCP errors, and they both load 1080p with no apparent degradation to the video quality. For my use case, copy protection was the biggest barrier, so I'm happy to report that I've had no issues with the switches on the unit left to the default position. Since I'm using a digital optical connection, the resulting audio output should be 'bit perfect' to what is coming out of the HDMI connection. I'm not sure if the device does any processing to that signal that could affect quality. Watching a film to test the audio quality, I did find the audio a bit sibilant (i.e. harsh 'ess' sounds), but playing the same movie through a different source, I believe that's just a matter of the film's audio mix. Bass and soundstage seemed present, and there were no distortions that I could hear that weren't present when played through another source too. So I'd say the audio's being played pretty much untouched. I also tested the stereo 3.5mm output by plugging earphones directly into it. This isn't a sensible way to use the device either way, since the volume isn't adjustable. Doing this with my DAC (which doesn't have an amp built-in either) gives perfectly reasonable sound quality. But through this HDMI audio splitter, the audio was tinny and lifeless. This may be an issue of the power being insufficent to drive the earphones without amplification, resulting in no bass. Plugging the stereo output through an amp instead seemed to give much better results. Since the volume levels are inherently going to vary a bit when you change the audio chain, it's a bit hard to give comparisons to the optical-to-dac-to-amp output vs stereo-to-amp, but I'd say dialog felt much pushed forward and perhaps flatter. This may just have been a volume issue, but it felt like using the optical output to my DAC gave higher quality results. But it was definitely perfectly usable still. I would have liked to have had the option for coaxial output as well. But the comparable devices with this feature are more expensive, or like many of the audio splitters on Amazon, seem to lack any HDCP decoding which would make it useless for certain kinds of copy-protected content. The unit also runs moderately warm. Not 'burn you' hot, but warmer than my DAC, amp, or Firestick got to the touch when running for the same time. This shouldn't be an issue, but I suppose it could potentially get overly hot if you let it running for long enough at a time. Audio and visual quality can be really subjective (audio in particular can sound drastically different in bass, clarity, and soundstage just by a matter of volume), and is obviously affected by the quality of the source content. But as best as I can tell, this device does exactly what it says it does. Splits the audio from the HDMI to analog stereo 3.5mm or digital optical SPDIF, with no alteration to either the quality of the picture or the quality of the audio. So for those that want something that can do that, I can recommend this product.

We'll call it our little secret. You can keep a secret, right? So between you and me - this thing has a hidden talent. It makes it worth 3x what I paid. Firstly - regarding what it _claims_ to be. It's an audio extract. It works as an audio extractor. Gives you an optical "mirror" of the audio traversing the HDMI signal, as well as a 3.5mm stereo jack. It also has some EDID dip-switches, which can't comment upon as - well - I don't use them. But what I _can_ comment upon, is the unidentified "test" dip switch. All I'll say is, let's keep it a secret between ourselves. The box is fully HDMI compliant. That means, among other things, it satisfies the HDCP handshake. That's a good thing. It means when your transmitting (source) HDMI device wants to be sure there's something "genuine" on the other end - like a branded TV - it is happy to send copy-protected video streams. Sometimes that HDCP (content protection / DRM) can cause problems. I'm talking purely of "genuinely legal scenarios" - for example, I have a Miracast Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter - and an Apple TV. Neither of these will talk with a Blackmagic HDMI to SDI or UpDownCross HD converter - because of HDCP. They're happy to send a signal, but they don't get the encryption handshake - because those (perfectly legal) Blackmagic media converters can't supply it. So I dropped one of these between the HDMI source and the HDMI->SDI converter. Boom. Symptoms I was having before included the Miracast (Microsoft WDA) displaying a "purple" image, and nothing else. The AppleTV simply wouldn't show anything at all. I've had other problems solved with other devices too - particularly when playing Blurays for example. I understand the desire to protect copyrighted material. But at the end of the day - the only people who really get penalised are those who want to push consumer grade gear beyond its design limits for legal purposes. HDCP can get in the way of that. I call these little boxes the "HDMI swiss army knives" - with the "test" switch enabled, they appear to satisfy HDCP handshakes _and_ reclock the HDMI signal. So it (appears) to behave as an audio extractor, HDMI repeater/reclocker, EDID emulator, and an HDCP terminator/stripper. You absolutely need to have one in your tech drawer. Firmware updates are available via the EZCOO website too. Powers via micro USB. Their website _claims_ it scales 4K down to 1080p as well, I can't comment - I've no 4K sources to try it with.

I bought this item so that I could use my old turtle beach gaming headset on my ps5. The headset works normally but because the ps5 doesn't have an optical port, the individual sliders for game and chat volume don't work. You can only control both at the same time from one slider. I bought this item and everything worked after playing around with the ps5 audio settings. Why I wouldn't recommend this item is because the input lag from my controller to the TV became unbearable that I couldn't play shooting games. Furthermore, all games I launched would cause the display to go black. So I had to plug the hdmi from the TV directly to the ps5, load the game, then connect up the audio extractor. It's such a hassle

I'm thrilled to write this five-star review for the HDMI audio extractor that has changed my life! This device is a true game-changer for anyone who wants to elevate their audio experience to the next level. First and foremost, the audio extractor is incredibly easy to set up and use. All I had to do was plug it into my HDMI port, and it was ready to go! The device comes with clear instructions, and the setup process was a breeze. Once I got everything set up, I was blown away by the quality of the audio. The sound is crisp, clear, and free of any distortion or background noise. I've never experienced such high-quality audio from my TV before, and it's all thanks to this amazing device. Another thing I love about the HDMI audio extractor is how versatile it is. It works with a wide range of devices, including my TV, gaming console, and streaming devices. This means that no matter what I'm watching or playing, I can enjoy the best possible audio experience. Overall, I can't recommend this HDMI audio extractor enough. It truly has changed my life and transformed the way I enjoy audio. If you're looking to take your audio experience to the next level, then this device is a must-have!

Picked up a EZ-EX11HAS-PRO a few months ago to use with PS5 and Xbox Series X to provide spdif audio for an Astro A40. The output of the console goes into the EZ-EX11HAS-PRO, then the out from this goes to my Denon AVR receiver and this is running a Sony KD-55A1 TV at 4K 60Hz. Initially used with the Xbox with the audio set to 5.1 surround (without the EZ-EX11HAS-PRO it is usually set to Atmos). It works most of the time, audio is working well with the Astro and no noticeable change to the picture with the device connected. However there are occasions during gameplay where the screen will go blank for several seconds. The TV appears to adjust itself as if the input source had been switched. I did try disabling certain display modes on the Xbox (24fps etc) and it maybe improved slightly - Halo Infinite seemed to trigger the issue quite often, but it occurs across most games intermittently. I then tried with the PS5 set to 5.1 audio, which exhibits the same behaviour, but appears to do it slightly less often than the Xbox. This blank screen quirk has a habit of happening a crucial moments in game play. I searched the easycoolav website for firmware, but the firmware is dated Sept '21, and no changelog. A developer XNAPPO on GitHub has some alternative firmware with better documentation so probably try this next

Good quality and works as advertised
