HDMI Audio Extractor 4K with 3.5mm AUX Stereo and L/R RCA Out Converter Adapter Splitter Support 4K 1080P 3D Compatable for PS3 Xbox Fire Stick

I had a Roku Express lying around and decided to attach it to my PC monitor through a KVM switch so I could stream shows \ movies at my desk. It worked great, except for the fact that the Roku has no audio jack and my monitor has no speakers. I.e., I needed a way to send the audio to a set of speakers, so I ordered this little box.Installation is simple - just plug in the HDMI cable from the source (my Roku) and then run an HDMI cable to the monitor (or TV) and an audio cable from the Aux port to your speakers (or plug in your headphones). The video quality is great, although I don't have a 4K display to test it with, and the sound quality is good, though that can depend on the quality of your speakers\headphones. I have not noticed any delay or audio sync issues.Note that if you use the HDMI output of your PC's graphics card as the video source, there is likely to be no audio, so don't blame this adapter for the fact that your PC's HDMI output doesn't include audio. Most desktop computers have separate audio outputs. If you're using a newer laptop, it should work fine, but most desktop graphics cards do not send audio through the HDMI port.

Arrived on time and performs the function I needed perfectly which is to extract an audio feed from one of my hdmi monitor cables.I have a system dual monitor kvm box and the audio stopped working through it so in order to have audio on whichever of the 4 systems I am actively focused on and viewing the monitors and using the single keyboard and mouse on can now also be actively playing needed audio on said system switched to.What I did was unplug my left monitor hdmi cable and plug into the extractor box instead and then run a short hdmi cable from the extractor box to the monitor and a audio line from the extractor box to my speakers. Then on all 4 systems I set active audio playback device to the appropriate hd monitor device. Now when I switch to either system 1, 2, 3 or 4 the audio switches to that as well allowing the audio play on the speaker from which ever system is selected on the KVM Switch Box while bypassing it’s 1/8” audio circuit and using the hdmi instead.

I have a projector that only wants to play the right channel for sound this device makes it so I hear both and just the way I wanted it to work, easy to set up and use I really recommend if you're just trying to get you're sound out of an hdmi line

I am using this with an Amazon fire stick. Initially the sound would only output when the video output was not connected. I happen to have an EDID passthrough HDMI plug which also prevents the audio from being captured by the HDMI when the video out is plugged in. I have not tried other HDMI capture Devices, but I imagine that because HDMI is integrated into device functions there will be some variance on how this works with different source devices.In the end this device does indeed extract audio from HDMI.

The new Raspberry Pi 5 computer does not have the 3.5mm audio output jack like the previous models had. It does however have HDMI video output, so I bought this device to pull the audio from the HDMI stream, and send it to an audio amplifier. Connected HDMI in and out cables, the audio cable, and the USB power cable between the Pi 5 and the device. Unfortunately, even with a known good audio amplifier set to full volume, the audio almost can't be heard. It is totally unusable! I will experiment with this device another day or so before I return it. Very disappointed.

Just installed it, so can't attest to longevity. However, had an old analog stereo receiver that I wanted to be able to get the sound out of my dvd player to. The dvd player had both HDMI and RCA outputs, but sound would only go to HDMI. This was a great solution to get HDMI to the TV, but RCA to my old stereo. Works perfectly initially. Hope it will stand the test of time.

It splits the audio from a hdmi cable effectively. As an added bonus, we discover that the fact that it’s powered helped us solve an issue we had with HDMI signal degradation.

This small device works well and is affordable. Easy to hook up.
