HDMI Earc/Arc Audio Extractor/Adapter, HDMI Earc/Arc to RCA R/L, Optical, 3.5mm Audio Converter

simple to set up and easy to use

Works great. Is versatile in that it can export the audio signal four different ways. Needed this as a new TV that I purchased only has an HDMI and HDMI eArc ports on it along with a USB-a port. The TV is smaller size as I'm space constrained as to where it has to be placed hence the lack of ports. But this allows me to feed the small sound bar and an optical run to the stereo system. It's pretty small and not that expensive. Well worth it.

This device is doing just what I needed. Recently, in discussion with the very helpful salesman at Best Buy, I learned that none of the new TVs have analog audio output jacks any more. I use my TV with sound output connected to a stereo this way. I got a new Samsung TV and therefore needed an audio extractor. At first I tried an optical converter but found that the volume and mute controls on the TV remote did not function this way, and I didn't want to use multiple remotes. I purchased this sound extractor, connected an HDMI cable from the eArc output of the TV to the input of this device, and the RCA audio cables from the stereo to the device outputs. The next step was to set up eArc on the TV, which required 2 steps. First I set the sound output to eArc but did not get any sound. There is another setting where I needed to enable eArc. And that's it. I have TV sound from my stereo and control volume and mute with the TV remote.

I initially ordered product but some somke came out & i asked for replacement, well this this no product issue except DC 5v connection cable. Now am able to use my old Home-theatre to new tv with support of R & L cable to HMDI ARC. THANKS for the product amazon. Except power cable everything is fine, this is my review after 2 hrs. Hope it will fine in future as well.

Works nicely to extract audio from of of my TV's eARC HDMI ports to feed active loudspeakers and allows control of the volume using the TV's volume control. However, it does not pass the video through to the HDMI out port and therefore only 4 stars.
