## Description

desertcart.com: Proster 3x1 HDMI Switch with Audio Extractor - 3 Port 4K HDMI Switcher HDMI Audio Converter, with IR Remote, 3.5mm Male to 2 RCA Female Stereo Audio Cable : Electronics

Review: Works as intended. - I bought this converter about a month ago to use for our back yard outdoor movie theater because the Epson 1060 HD movie projector we have does not have an audio out option for surround sound (which is crazy because it costs about $600 so it should give you some decent sound options; however, the picture quality is amazing). Even though it's awesome watching movies and streaming live tv on a 10 ft x 16 ft screen in our own back yard, it just wasn't as great as it should have been because of the lack of sound. I am not good with technology at all, so I googled to find out how I could get surround sound hooked up to the projector, and I ran across a Youtube video of someone using this audio extractor. I found it on desertcart for like $25 with a protection plan and figured even if it didn't work I could send it back or else just be out a small amount of money. It arrived like 2 days later and was very simple to figure out how to get it all hooked up and test it out. It even comes with an HDMI cord, and has 3 input options, so we can plug in our Fire Stick and PS4 at the same time, and we just use an aux cord to run from the converter to our sound system and extract the audio to surround sound. We've been able to enjoy basically a movie theater experience every weekend in our own back yard on a 220" screen watching Netflix, live TV and football games (Go Buckeyes!!! Even though they cant even beat Purdue...) But we now have awesome surround sound thanks to this nifty little converter switch.
Review: **UPDATE** - It works now. - I had a lot of trouble getting this switch to work. To Proster's credit, they sent me a replacement, and then when I couldn't get that one to work, they sent me a standalone audio extractor. I got the audio extractor earlier and got it to work fine, with the exception that the PS3 input seemed to cut out. I decided on a hunch to try it straight through the extractor instead, and no problems. I guess at this point I worried the problem I had getting the Proster switches to work was caused by the cords. I knew I had just replaced the PS3's HDMI and hadn't tried since then, so I got out the switch after independently testing all the cords, and voila, it functions perfectly. My best hypothesis is that this was caused by the HDMI cable Proster sent with their switch, which didn't work to convey the signal properly from the switch to my TV. Gotta say, egg all over my face now. Anyway, here's a review of the actual features of this switch: Pros: - Very reasonably priced for the features. - Switches audio when you switch inputs. - Comes with a remote for switching input. - Supposedly supports 4K (I haven't upgraded to a 4K TV yet, so I can't confirm). - Outputs 1080p. I only mention this because I could not find it written about this device anywhere, but it's important to know before buying if you're like me and don't have a 4K TV yet. - My experience with ProsterUS was very positive, they were very interested in fixing my problem, even before I posted a negative review. Sure, there's a bit of a language barrier that made me wonder Cons: - Might come with cheap (free) cables. For best results, you may want to provide your own connections. - Uses a USB cord as a power source. USB chargers come in a variety of different outputs, and the manual doesn't specify what is required to power the HDMI switch. A regular purpose-built power supply would take out the guesswork, though obviously then they'd have to ship with region specific plugs. Anyway, I'm willing to admit when I'm wrong, and I'm pleased to be wrong this time, since getting the switch working fulfills my current needs and also means I'll have an easy time when I do eventually upgrade to 4K. So to any of you with this switch and problems; check your connectors, maybe it's not a dud after all.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this device add any additional latency, specifically for fast-paced games?**
A: I have not noticed any latency issues, but I don't use it in conjunction with any video game platforms. I use mine to chromecast video to a monitor mounted on my treadmill. The Proster unit adds a 3.5mm headphone port for my headphones since my small monitor has none.

**Q: Trying to use this to split my audio/video from my xbox and computer to a monitor and speakers, video works but no audio is there a setting i missed?**
A: Don't think I can answer you question, but I'll do my best. I use HDMI only. I use this to connect Direct TV, Playstation 4, and WESTERN DIGITAL TV, I to one out going HDMI Cable to my TV, so I can use my other HDMI connection point for my Bose Soundbar. I don't think this is what you need to split audio/digital but do ur research.

**Q: My tv has no audio jack.  i want to use this to connect a bluetooth transmitter to my headphones.  will i hear audio if i mute the tv?**
A: Only if the TV is providing input to the switch. If input is coming from another device like a game console then no, sound would be controlled by that device or the switch itself.

**Q: Bought because i was connecting via hdmi to an hp monitor with no sound. when connected to the hdmi switch i can see the picture fine, but no sound.**
A: I connected the audio out to a receiver and works great. You must connect a the 3.5 mm audio cable ( supplied ) to the monitor

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ For the money it's a good audio extractor/switcher but not perfect
*by C***O on October 17, 2018*

I was looking for an HDMI audio extractor to use my Roku stick with an older AV receiver and projector. I used to plug it into the Xbox One, but Microsoft has made it so hard to use the input on the Xbox, I gave up and looked for another solution. This unit extracts audio to go via an optical cable into my receiver but it also has three inputs which makes it very versatile. So, what is the bad? There is a minor audio delay through the unit and into the receiver. If you have the output going to a TV and your AV system and use both the TV audio and the AV sound you will hear an echo as the audio out the TV arrives faster than the audio being processed (extracted) by this unit. It's minor and you just need to turn the TV audio down or off but it is there. I also noticed that the audio through the device dropped out for a second or so a few times over the course of weeks worth of testing it. You also need it powered to work and/or to pass video through it. Overall, for under $25 it solved a major issue I had. It's not perfect but works well enough.
