I needded a solution to get the audio from a Playstation 5 and also if needed a switch console. The reason being that I bought the Alienware AW2725DW Monitor which is a great monitor for PS5, Switch and PC but unfortunately has no inbuilt speakers or even an audio jack plug to connect an external speaker to. I set up the monitor with the PS5 but had no audio unless the PS5 controller was connected to headphones which is not always the most suitable way of listening to the game you are playing. I did some searching on the internet and saw this product advertised and after reading the reviews and the product advert I was fairly confident that it would solve the issue I had. I must say that the images of this product make it look a lot larger than it actually is (approx 3 inches x 2 inches) and when it was delivered I thought it was the incorrect item, however with further investigation it was correct and I could see how it connected for my needs. I did need another HDMI cable which connected from the PS5 to the Audio Extractor and then the original one from the audio extractor to the monitor which would provide the video from the PS5 to the monitor. Then I connected the audio jack plug to an external speaker which was also from Amazon which has RGB lighting to match the rest of the gaming setup. The external speaker connects to the monitor via USB to get power, so the speaker will not work unless the monitor is switched on. The audio extractor does come with a small USB C to USB A cable which also connects to the monitor for it's power. I set the 'dip switches' to suit the 4K60Hz 4:2:0 2CH HDR setting and it all worked very well. So now the audio comes from the PS5 through the audio extractor to the external speaker and the video comes from the PS5 to the monitor with no sync issues at all. If the user wants to listen to the audio from the game using headphones just unplug the audio jack plug that is connected to the external speaker, then connect the audio jack plug from the headphones to the audio extractor jack plug outlet. Very happy with this solution to my issue and one that was not too expensive to resolve, the audio extractor was £29.99 and the external speaker was £27.99 both from Amazon. I also read that Playstation are going to release their own speakers later this year called - PULSE Elevate™ wireless speakers but no information on price or release date as yet. I hope this review helps anyone with a similar issue that I had. :)

I'm thrilled to write this five-star review for the HDMI audio extractor that has changed my life! This device is a true game-changer for anyone who wants to elevate their audio experience to the next level. First and foremost, the audio extractor is incredibly easy to set up and use. All I had to do was plug it into my HDMI port, and it was ready to go! The device comes with clear instructions, and the setup process was a breeze. Once I got everything set up, I was blown away by the quality of the audio. The sound is crisp, clear, and free of any distortion or background noise. I've never experienced such high-quality audio from my TV before, and it's all thanks to this amazing device. Another thing I love about the HDMI audio extractor is how versatile it is. It works with a wide range of devices, including my TV, gaming console, and streaming devices. This means that no matter what I'm watching or playing, I can enjoy the best possible audio experience. Overall, I can't recommend this HDMI audio extractor enough. It truly has changed my life and transformed the way I enjoy audio. If you're looking to take your audio experience to the next level, then this device is a must-have!

I bought to split the stereo PCM audio from a Firestick 4K, mainly to allow me to use Disney+ with a PC monitor (since they currently limit streams to 720p on Windows computers). This means this review won't touch on either the ability of the device to handle 5.1 channel audio or how the device functions as a scaler. I also have a 60fps 1080p non-HDR display, so I can't comment on HDR or >60fps performance. I have the device set up to connect to a dedicated DAC via the Optical SPDIF output. It can play both Disney+ and Amazon Prime Video without and HDCP errors, and they both load 1080p with no apparent degradation to the video quality. For my use case, copy protection was the biggest barrier, so I'm happy to report that I've had no issues with the switches on the unit left to the default position. Since I'm using a digital optical connection, the resulting audio output should be 'bit perfect' to what is coming out of the HDMI connection. I'm not sure if the device does any processing to that signal that could affect quality. Watching a film to test the audio quality, I did find the audio a bit sibilant (i.e. harsh 'ess' sounds), but playing the same movie through a different source, I believe that's just a matter of the film's audio mix. Bass and soundstage seemed present, and there were no distortions that I could hear that weren't present when played through another source too. So I'd say the audio's being played pretty much untouched. I also tested the stereo 3.5mm output by plugging earphones directly into it. This isn't a sensible way to use the device either way, since the volume isn't adjustable. Doing this with my DAC (which doesn't have an amp built-in either) gives perfectly reasonable sound quality. But through this HDMI audio splitter, the audio was tinny and lifeless. This may be an issue of the power being insufficent to drive the earphones without amplification, resulting in no bass. Plugging the stereo output through an amp instead seemed to give much better results. Since the volume levels are inherently going to vary a bit when you change the audio chain, it's a bit hard to give comparisons to the optical-to-dac-to-amp output vs stereo-to-amp, but I'd say dialog felt much pushed forward and perhaps flatter. This may just have been a volume issue, but it felt like using the optical output to my DAC gave higher quality results. But it was definitely perfectly usable still. I would have liked to have had the option for coaxial output as well. But the comparable devices with this feature are more expensive, or like many of the audio splitters on Amazon, seem to lack any HDCP decoding which would make it useless for certain kinds of copy-protected content. The unit also runs moderately warm. Not 'burn you' hot, but warmer than my DAC, amp, or Firestick got to the touch when running for the same time. This shouldn't be an issue, but I suppose it could potentially get overly hot if you let it running for long enough at a time. Audio and visual quality can be really subjective (audio in particular can sound drastically different in bass, clarity, and soundstage just by a matter of volume), and is obviously affected by the quality of the source content. But as best as I can tell, this device does exactly what it says it does. Splits the audio from the HDMI to analog stereo 3.5mm or digital optical SPDIF, with no alteration to either the quality of the picture or the quality of the audio. So for those that want something that can do that, I can recommend this product.

Good quality and works as advertised

avevo problema a collegare l’xbox serie x all amplificatore (pioneer VSX 920) tramite HDMI,ho letto che alcuni dispositivi creano interferenze e quindi vedevo a righette,tragedia! ho provato questo dispositivo collegando l’xbox all’estrattore (hdmi) e dall estrattore alla tv (hdmi) e con il cavo ottico dall estrattore all amplificatore. dopo ore di prova ho trovato la combinazione giusta delle linguette per far arrivare il segnale DTS ,bisogna vedere bene le proprie esigenze e dispositivi perché ad esempio la mia tv non è 4k essendo vecchia ,in fine le linguette le ho messe ON OFF OFF ON ON e il segnale arriva non convertito ,audio perfetto come ero abituato ad avere. un apparecchio così piccolo ed economico fa un lavoro più che all altezza della mia apparecchiatura,non semplicissimo da impostare,ma chi lo tocca più. voto 10

J'utilise ce produit pour ma PS5 et il fonctionne très bien

Cuando compre el producto decía que la transferencia era de 18gbps y no es cierto solo son 6gbps ... Ahora actualizaron los publicación y dice 10.... Ojo con eso a mí no me deja regresar el producto

This item is spectacular, it solved a huge issue and the size is small. it is not even noticed in the setup

J'ai acheté cet extracteur HDMI pour l'utiliser avec mon projecteur et une box Xiaomi TV 2e génération, et je suis vraiment satisfait. Il fonctionne parfaitement et me permet de profiter du son 5.1 sur ma barre de son LG S60TR sans aucun problème. Le produit est compact, ne chauffe pas (contrairement à ce que j'ai pu lire dans d'autres commentaires), et semble être de très bonne qualité. C'est exactement ce que je cherchais, et il remplit totalement son rôle. Je recommande sans hésiter !
