AGPtek HDMI to HDMI + SPDIF + RCA L/R Audio Extractor Converter (HDMI Input,HDMI+ Audio Output)

I have a newer Roku Ultra with no S/PDIF optical out. I needed this feature for an older Surround Sound receiver that had no HDMI connections. I purchased this unit to hopefully give me this function. It arrived on schedule as per the purchase agreement. I simply plugged it all in, set the switch to 5.1 digital and it just worked immediately. I tested it with 2 channel Dolby Surround, 5.1 channel Dolby Surround, and DTS 5.1 Surround. It performed perfectly! All my cables fit snugly with tight connections. There was no degradation in picture quality. Make sure and set your Roku to Dolby 5.1/DTS in the settings, and turn off any sound mode adjustments in any of your Roku APPS. Works like a dream! Thank you for a great product. I will buy from this company in the future.

I wanted to use my 1080p computer monitor with more than just a computer. But, it only has a DVI input, and no audio capabilities.I bought this, and plugged it into my monitor with an HDMI to DVI cable, and plugged my Xbox into it. The audio side came into an FiiO headphone amp and to my normal headphones.This setup worked really well, can't really complain.I plugged my laptop into it and set my laptop so it would output audio through HDMI. The digital to analog converter in this produces higher quality audio than my laptop's built in sound card, so, not bad.If you want to run media players and game consoles into a computer monitor, this gets the audio out of it for you.I don't think this supports HDCP, so if you need that, you might be out of luck. I don't have any HDCP sources, so I can't test this.

This item as described works perfectly. AC power is nice, and the product seems well built and did exactly what I needed.I bought one for a client and used it to extract an audio signal from an older DVD player to RCA in order to send the audio to a stereo receiver rather than use the sound on the TVs. I ordered this item once on March 12th and received the exact item described.I ordered the item again on March 26th and received a completely different item from the seller.In a plain plastic bag, was a ETEKCITY Mini AV to HDMI adapter / converter, it does not have HDMI pass through and it does not extract audio to RCA while allowing to output HDMI. Because the item is not in the manufacturer packaging, I would even doubt if this is a new item. Also, they covered the REAL item label with another sticker that described the ACTUAL item I bought. This would leave me to believe that they in fact intentionally tried to send a different item on purpose with the hopes I wouldn't notice it. Will never buy from this seller again.Product works great, but don't buy from this seller: BrainyDeal

Got older soundbar with optical audio. Play older consoles on a monitor without sound. Works for my application.

I bought the Apple TV 4 not knowing that it didn't have the digital optical port. I was so disappointed in Apple wasting money on it but did some research & some web site suggested getting this. Not knowing how to hook this up, my husband was able to figure out how to hook up AGPtek HDMI to HDMI, SPDIF, RCA L / R Audio Extractor Converter to Apple tv 4 to Bose 321 system to the HD TV & it took less than 15 minutes. This thing works wonders. It is so small & doesn't take a whole lot of space. It's sitting behind the tv doing it's magic. Now I have sound coming thru Bose 321 system because of this little gadget. Thank you!!

Bought this to connect my Wii U to a movie theater projector. The projector didn't have an HDMI connector and used a separate sound system. By using an HDMI to DVI converter, I was able to connect this audio extractor to the projector and the Wii U to the the audio extractor. Then I used an optical audio cable to connect the audio extractor to the sound system. It sounds confusing but it looks very simple and we were able to have a Mario Kart and Smash Bros party.I'm also using it to connect my chromecast to my sound system since the later does not have and HDMI input.

This item didn't work for me so it was returned immediately for a refund.

This may be long-winded but hopefully useful to someone considering it. Bottom line is it has shortcomings but not fatal ones for me. As another reviewer pointed out it cannot drive long HDMI cables. This is no problem for my original intended use, which is to feed HDMI video from an iPad via a "lightning to HDMI" adapter to one input of a 5 input switcher. It would be nifty if instead of that I could connect it to the output of the switcher and feed the video from the extractor to the projector, thus using only one input of the audio DAC for all my HDMI sources, but this doesn't work. The HDMI switcher, made by Parasound, drives the cable fine with the built-in booster amplifier either on or off. You might think Parasound, a maker of high end audio electronics, would revise their HDMI switcher to include audio extraction but instead they stopped making it altogether. Monoprice does sell a switcher/audio extractor that drives the cable, but no remote control so unsuitable for my use. There *should* be a simple device that extracts audio and drives long cables--better still, a suitable switcher/extractor--at a reasonable price, but right now there doesn't appear to be. Projector users must be a principle market for this sort of thing, and projectors are typically driven by long cables. For me, a coaxial spdif output, in addition to the optical, would be useful since my DAC has 3 coax inputs and only one optical.I could use the Monoprice just as an extractor--it even has coaxial spdif--but my system is already too complicated and significant other unfriendly enough without the possibility of it getting switched to the wrong input. Also, Monoprice does not get, though plenty of user/reviewers complain, that most people do not want bright lights on their a/v equipment, so I'd have to deal with that somehow.I'm not using the analog audio out so to me any hum or noise that appears there is irrelevant. Another reviewer says there is some, though.
