Product Description

By entering your model number, you can make sure that this fits.
One HDMI Input to One HDMI Output, One SPDIF Audio Output, and One RCA R/L Stereo Audio Output Note: Do not connect your TV to the HDMI IN port because the HDMI ports on televisions do not transmit signals.
Designed to split 5, this is the ideal solution. If your receiver/sound bar/surround system does not have HDMI input, you can use 1CH/2CH audio from an HDMI device such as a PS3/4, Chromecast, Blu-ray player, cable box, Fire TV, Apple TV, and so on. Note that HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) is not supported.
There are three audio EDID settings: 2CH, 5CH, and 6. For various configurations, 1CH and Pass are available. Optical SPDIF Output accepts 2CH PCM and 5CH PCM signals. 1CH Dolby Digital, DTS (Note: Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, and above are not supported); RCA L/R Output accepts incoming 2CH PCM stereo audio.
Premium Quality: Supports Full HD 1080P, 3D, and 36-bit deep color with sync sound; metal enclosure for superior heat dissipation and durability.

Questions & Answers

Will the audio signal be sent to the hdmi and RCA outputs at the same time?

Yes, the RCA, SPDIF, and HDMI outputs all have sound when you select 2CH Mode.

Is it possible to connect a Roku to an HDMI port? hdmi-in and hdmi-out out to the hdmi port on the television in order for a roku video to be shown on the television? then connect the audio output of the splitter to a soundbar?

That was the intention all along. I'm using it with a Nintendo Switch, but the concept is the same. The switch is flipped on, and video and audio are connected to my television and amplifier, respectively.

Will this work with a firestick and a yamaha v701 from 1996? do you have a receiver?

If your receiver has optical or RCA L/R input ports, the answer is yes. Connect the Firestick to the HDMI IN port on the iArk, the TV to the HDMI OUT port on the iArk, and the Yamaha receiver to the audio ports on the Yamaha receiver. On the Firestick, select 2CH PCM as the output audio format, and turn off Dolby Digital Plus.

Will I be able to split the audio signal rather than just extract it with this product? Will there be audio on both the hdmi and optical outputs?

Yes, but please ensure that the terminal devices connected to the HDMI and optical ports are capable of supporting the output audio format. If incoming is 7, for example. Sound will only be available through the HDMI port if you choose 1CH.

What a fantastic find! I have a Samsung television that can do this
5/5

What a fantastic find! br>br>I have a Samsung television with no audio output - Neither analog nor digital are viable options. I happened to come across this product by chance. After doing some research, ordering it, and installing it, voila! Fantastic digital sound with optical effects! No more'muffled' audio from my laptop's 3 speakers, and no more thin TV speakers. There's a 5mm jack now, and I don't have to switch Bluetooth between my laptop and my phone anymore. My Boston Acoustics sound system is finally reaching its full potential. Nice!.

I'm pleased to report that I've had no issues with iArktech's products
5/5

I bought this after having issues with a similar item from another brand. My most recent purchase (from J-) was this one. Tech) died after one use, and while that could have been an outlier, I'm happy to report that I've had no issues with iArktech's product, which I purchased to address the PS4 slim's optical port (or lack thereof) issue, and it works perfectly.

It works
5/5

It accomplishes the task at hand. br>br>In my garage, I use this. In my garage, I have a new TV with HDMI and an old, dependable stereo receiver with no HDMI. The issue has been resolved. br>br>I connect this device to a Fire Stick and then split the signal. So far, I've forgotten about the device, which is a good thing.

With my Apple TV 4, this was exactly what I needed
5/5

This is exactly what I was looking for. It has digital audio out, which allows me to connect audio to my Onkyo receiver's "speaker 2. " This allows you to play music throughout your home using an Apple TV 4. br>br>Previous TVs had a separate digital audio (toslink) out, but the version 4 does not, which is inconvenient.

The money was well spent
5/5

Period. I was hesitant to buy this one at first, but after reading some of the other reviews, I decided to go ahead and buy it. I don't know about anyone else's experience, but it's perfect for me. We have a 55-inch Samsung wall-mounted television that's an older model. It has HDMI support, so we can connect the Amazon Fire TV to it, but it doesn't support 5. 1 audio. The fix was this small box. The Amazon Fire TV single has a wireless connection that works well. As a result, the audio output from the AFTV box is only integrated through the HDMI output and does not have an external output. The AFTV HDMI output was connected to the HDMI input of the converter. The audio system's input was then connected to the s/pid fiber output. I turned on all of the devices and was pleasantly surprised to find that they functioned better than I had anticipated. It sounds fantastic, and I mean fantastic. The video for the single is also fantastic. It was well worth the $25. Is this something that I would recommend? If you have the same type of setup as we do, then yes, I would highly recommend it.

Separate the audio and send it via HDMI
5/5

This low-cost gadget appears to be well-made and functions flawlessly! br>br>The HDMI output on my DirecTV box connected to an older DLP HD TV. Only one HDMI output is available on the DirecTV box. I used my JBL amp, speakers, and powered sub-woofer for audio. woofer - a very pleasant sound - Powered by the TV's audio out jack. Even if I was only watching a DirecTV music channel, I had to keep the TV "on. " I wanted to be able to listen to my favorite DirecTV music channel without having to turn on the TV because DLP uses an expensive light bulb (which I have already replaced for $100). To put it another way, I wanted to use the DirecTV box as my audio source. br>br>This "Audio Extractor" is designed to do just that. I feed the TV through the HDMI in and out. I feed my amp (2 channels) through the RCA jacks. The HDTV picture is unaffected, and the audio is flawless. br>br>It's worth noting that HDMI supports both video and audio. Only the video is used in my case. br>br>For the price, this is an excellent device!.

It's possible that the audio and video will become out of sync
3/5

Because my TV's optical out only works for the TV tuner, and the TV does not feed audio, I used this between a Roku and the TV to extract the SPID/IF optical digital audio stream and send it to my receiver. As a result, this is something I'm in desperate need of. It works, but it isn't ideal. I assume the audio is a few seconds behind because of processing, and I've played media that this unit can't seem to decode. There are also switches to change the type of audio you're receiving (2ch/5. 1 channel per passthru). Unless the audio on the media you're watching is in DD5, I've found no difference between them. 1 If you get any audio at all, it will almost certainly be in two-channel stereo.
