4K Audio Extractor HDMI by OREI, UltraHD 4K @ 60Hz 18G HDMI 2.0 Audio Converter SPDIF + 3.5mm Output HDCP 2.2 - Dolby Digital/DTS Passthrough CEC, HDR, Dolby Vision, HDR10 Support (HDA-912)

I bought this to use with an Xbox Series X because the SPDIF jack was removed, and 1440 120hz requires the same amount of bandwidth as 4k 60hz, but every time I try to select 120hz as my refresh rate, the Xbox tells me it's not supported and forces me to go to 1080 120hz. Without the extractor plugged in, 1440 120hz works fine, so it appears that the converter isn't set up to support this resolution, despite the fact that it has the bandwidth. It would be nice if they listed the resolutions it supports rather than just saying "up to 4K 60hz," because I wouldn't have bought it in the first place if they did.

Because only the main zone of my receiver can accept digital audio, I use an audio converter to extract analog audio from an HDMI source and output it through zone 2. When it works, it's great, and I have whole-house audio, but I've been having problems with a J-connector. So I decided to try it out with my Tech HDMI audio converter and my HDMI receiver. When I first got it, I compared it to the J-series. In terms of technology, it's clear that they're both purchasing and branding the same piece of hardware. With the exception of the logo, everything about them is identical, including the fact that they interfere with HDMI signals. To get my receiver to properly display the signal, I frequently have to unplug and re-plug the HDMI cable. They also appear to stop the onscreen menu on the receiver from working. I don't have any of those problems if I remove the device.

I'm using it with a Yamaha RX-100, which is a very old but still very nice radio. 50 watts rms x 2 for the E100 high-fidelity analog book shelf system Set the mode to 2 or 3 channels. On the Yamaha, 5 mm out to RCA in. Set the audio on the Roku to Stereo PCM, as well as the HDMI out to Stereo PCM. Only other times I've come close to this level of fidelity on this system was via phono to a Denon turntable, which I tested with the Tidal HiFi package. If you've been having trouble getting 44 to 92kbps Pandora to play through your HiFi system via a TV SPDIF/TOSLINK or RCA output, this is a must-have. I wish I could find one for a little more money that could support up to 384kbps audio streams, as well as a proper DAC, but then I'd be spending money on a more modern system.

When I used ARC on my Roku 65" TV, I noticed a lot of audio lag when I output anything other than stereo audio. It was slightly reduced if I used optical, but it was still visible. So I read some reviews and gave it a shot, similar to how I used to do the same thing with an A/V receiver. Essentially, the HDMI output from the hub goes into this, which removes the audio that I send to the 5. One sound bar is available. There is no longer any audio lag. This was an issue with all of the TVs I've ever owned, even those that were HDMI-enabled, dating back about ten years. It was almost unbearable to play games because of it. However, it was more difficult to watch television as a result of this. The audio remained in sync only after I connected an A/V receiver and then output that to the TV without the bitstream audio. So this box performs the same function, and the synchronization is flawless. br>br>I also saved about $200 by not having to buy another 4K receiver to fix the problem. Now that I'm running everything through this and outputting the optical to my sound bar, I need a bigger HDMI hub. ARC is a fantastic company to work with. The lag, on the other hand, is unquestionably there. br>br>One thing is that when I switch from game mode with HDR to regular mode, I sometimes get an issue where the colorspace or something is off. The colors become jumbled. The solution is to plug the HDMI hub and this device into an Alexa-enabled plug (which should cost no more than $20). Set up a routine so that when this happens, the HDMI hub and this device are both turned off for 3 seconds before being turned back on. The HDMI colorspace problem will be resolved as a result of this action. Annoying? Yes, to some extent. But audio sync is a bigger deal, and I don't have to get up when it happens thanks to the Alexa routine.

I hooked up the Audio Extractor to my system, and it worked flawlessly. br>br>This Extractor was connected to my Roku Ultra 2020 via a high-quality 12 inch HDMI cable, and the HDMI cable connecting this Extractor's HDMI Out to my 65-inch LG OLED65E7P 4K HDTV via the HDMI cable. The HDMI cable that connects to my HDTV is 3 feet long and of excellent quality. Keep in mind - Prior to putting this Extractor between my Roku and HDTV, my system was working 100% perfectly . br>br>Once connected, I continued to receive HDCP errors. When watching a movie on my Roku, I occasionally get two or three errors.

I have a Samsung TV, an Apple TV 4K, and a Sound bar. The TV was a little out of date and didn't pass the 5. I needed this to extract the audio directly into the sound bar after sending one sound to it via HDMI. CEC is working perfectly, so when I turn on the Apple TV, the TV turns on as well. The sound bar is always on, but when we aren't using it, it goes into sleep mode. This device has three modes, which I should point out. "TV, Bitstream, and CH2 are the three things that come to mind when I think of television. " 1". The 5. was recognized by only one mode. The Bitstream mode made the most sense, but the Apple TV was only sending Stereo to my sound bar when using the "Auto" audio setting. I had to manually select the Dolby 5 option in my Apple TV's settings. There is only one option. Following that, any apps that supported version 5 were allowed to run. 1 performed admirably.

It performs admirably. It does its job well and sounds great. Although the instructions could be a little more thorough, it is a fantastic value for the money. I had to look up some information on the internet, but I'm a techie, so it didn't bother me.
