OREI 4K@60Hz HDMI Audio Converter Extractor- SPDIF & 3.5mm Output, HDCP 2.2

I have tried a coupe of different brand that would work with my Samsung TV, Apple TV and Proscan amp . This one worked well. My amp is old and did not work with audio over HDMI, and the Samsung cheaped out and did not have optical out. I am happy.

Plug and play! This thing works great and was super simple to get connected.

I was using ARC on my Roku 65" TV but I had very noticeable audio lag when I output as anything but stereo audio. If I used optical, it minimized it a bit but it was still there. So I read some reviews and tried this much like how I used to have an A/V receiver to do the same thing. Basically, the HDMI output from the hub goes into this which strips out the audio that I send over to the 5.1 sound bar. Audio lag is completely unnoticeable now. This was always an issue with all TVs I ever had even going back about 10+ years on HDMI... it made playing games almost unbearable... but it made watching TV harder..... it wasn't until I hooked up an A/V receiver and then output that to the TV without the bitstream audio where the audio remained in sync. So this box does that same job and the sync is so well done. This saved me about $200 on buying another 4K receiver too to solve this problem. Now I need a larger HDMI hub since I'm running everything through this now and outputting the optical to my sound bar. ARC is very good... but the lag definitely is not. One thing is that sometimes I get an issue where the colorspace or something is off when I go from game mode with HDR back to regular.... the colors get all messed up. The solution is to put the HDMI hub and this device into an Alexa controlled plug (probably about $20 or less). Set up a routine so that when it happens that it cuts power to both the HDMI hub and this device and then turns it back on 3 seconds later. When you do that, it will fix the HDMI colorspace problem. Annoying? Yes, partially. But audio sync is a bigger one and with the Alexa routine, I don't have to get up when it happens.

All the expected features work but unfortunately there's noticable latency. This device won't work for gaming. I wanted to use this for gaming but I'll have to send it back. Still good if you don't plan to use this device for games and don't care about latency.

I purchased this so that I could extract 2.0 (stereo) PCM audio from the toslink connection to a wireless headphone transmitter. (The transmitter accepts ONLY 2.0/PCM input. The expectation: That I could insert this device between the output of a streaming box, which can output surround audio, and the receiver - and the 'untouched' surround audio portion on the HDMI input would continue through to the HDMI output connection - and the the device would 'convert' the surround audio signal to 2.0/PCM and send it out the toslink output to go to the headphone transmitter. What actually happens: If I select the 2.0 switch option on the device, I DO get a down-converted 2.0/PCM signal from the toslink output as needed. But here's where the problem is: In choosing that 2.0/PCM switch option, it ALSO then output ONLY 2.0/PCM audio on the HDMI output connection going to the receiver. So I then lose my surround audio going to the speakers. If I choose the surround switch option on the device, surround audio signal is restored onto the HDMI output...but then I have no 2.0/PCM signal on the toslink output again, so then the headphones don't work. Instead of labeling this as an "Audio Extractor", it should be labeled as an "Audio Converter" since the switch setting seems to convert in the incoming audio signal to the switch setting and then sends that converted signal to to the HDMI-out and the Toslink-output.

After setting up works well and the sound is good. I use it for mainly listening to Apple Music

This has been working flawlessly for over a year. Great buy. BUT - it developed a strange pulsing video problem. Static and black screen every second or so. Forgot this piece was in the HDMI cable path - so thought there were issues with other video gear. When bypassed, all was well. Buying another, but keeping in mind there could be some exciting issues sometimes!

Sound is great. Functionality as it should. Picture qualities are good. Works with a usb-c docking station I bought for the hdmi capability to a tv or monitor. Tried it with the Orel hda-912 and works with my iPad.

Ik heb het product gebruikt voor een Apple TV om het geluid naar actief analoge boxen te krijgen. Het geluid is goed, en het product ondersteund SEC HDMI in combinatie met TV. Ik raad dit product aan.

perfetto!!!! con questo accessorio è possibile utilizzare il canale ottico per indirizzarlo ad un sintoamplificatore dolby surround (di vecchia data che non ha ingresso HDMI) e sentire l'audio di Netflix in formato dolby disponibile

I hate HDMI. This digital format is supposed to make our life easier but in reality it just protects movie and music distributors for copyrights. The problem is that often newer HDMI versions are not totally backward compatible. About 10 years ago I purchased a top of the line Panasonic 65" HD Plasma TV, one of the last plasma TV. Still today this TV is giving extraordinary color images and nice contrast ratio. I had also purchased, about 5 years earlier, a top of the line Denon receiver that had HDMI support ; but its HDMI was not compatible with the newer Panasonic TV HDMI ports; I resorted to use the TV as the HDMI switcher and all worked well until this year when I changed my HD Apple TV to a newer 4K Apple TV. Now the movies were not playing in Dolby 5.1 but only in the inferior Dolby Pro Logic II format. No matter what I tried, I could not have the movies play Dolby 5.1. But my Denon is capable of even higher formats such as Dolby TrueHD, EX and most flavors of DTS surround. This is why I had to buy this Orei extractor that enabled at least Dolby HD AC3 to play 5.1 true channels on my Denon. It does not provide the best Dolby Digital format that my Denon can decode but at least, until I change my receiver and TV, I will get a good enough quality out of my Apple TV 4K. The Orei extractor just worked perfectly out of the box. This extractor is very small but housed in a metal box and it feels solid. Good value for the money. Hoping it will last a few years.
