Amazon Basics 4K@30Hz HDMI to HDMI and Audio (RCA Stereo or Spdif) Extractor Converter, Black

Worked perfectly for a specific problem I had, I’ll say what it was. I had a ps3 and had it hooked up to a monitor with no audio output or speakers (the ps3 doesn’t have one.) and this was the only way for me to get to listen to the game audio (instead of buying a pair of headphones that Sony no longer makes.) so if anybody else is in this super particular predicament then yeah I recommend you get one of these. Video quality remains mostly the same, however it requires you to sacrifice a usb port on the console just for it to power on, but I’m unsure about any changes to fps.

Excellent device. Very well build. Easy to use. Outstanding value for money.

first one died after I tried using a power outlet. my fault, too much power I guess. Lasted a long time though, about 2-3 years bought this used less than a week ago, and the HDMI input didn't work. If you're going to buy this, buy it new and it should be fine. I'm giving this product 4 stars because should have been checked if I'm buying used, though maybe its not Amazon's fault. dont know how it works. bought a "SDKDZKG 4K x 2K HDMI Audio Converter Extractor" used for £8 and it's working great, but that might just be luck on my side. 👍

Since our setup depends on optical, it was a blow to realise that Sony had dropped the optical out from the new PS5. However, less than 24 hours later, Amazon delivered this little box, and it fixed the issue in minutes. The only downside I can see is you'll need 2 hdmi cables rather than 1. I chose the box simply because it was small. It's sturdy, it needs a 5v supply. provided in my case by using supplied power lead plugged into the PS5 spare usb port. Quality seems excellent. I have not tested or used the audio output. I would not have high expectations though, I mean, it would require a DAC and an amp to be of reasonable quality, which at this price would not be possible even if that was it's only function. So, sound quality good. build quality good. All that remains is to test reliability. So far I recommend highly.

Great piece of kit: cheap (bought it at £19.99), tiny, and works… most of the time. So why 3 stars? Knock one star because this thing gets HOT. Let’s be honest: this will be on all the time as it is a thing that can forget once installed. There’s no off button, and it’s driven by USB. Great. But it gets hot, and hot enough to go “That’s actually really hot!”. Knock one more star due to it starting to stop working and flash all lights oddly. I believe this is just a matter of time. I have to reach around and unplug it, wait 30 seconds, and then plug it back in again. It usually stops working prior to usage, but it has twice stopped working during usage. So what do I use this for? Simple: because the Amazon 4K TV only supports one headset, and (when headset is connected along with a number of Samsung sound bars), it drops the sound connection meaning that the sound bar turns off: “you’ve no music going through, so I will turn off to save power”. This little device stops that from happening and allows my Bluetooth transceiver to pull audio off the HDMI cable without letting the Amazon 4K TV knowing. Works a treat… when fully working. Cost price: amazing Works for what I need it to do: absolutely Am I comfortable having it on all the time and working: not really

I got this extractor to use with Chromecast in order to play Internet radio on old hifi without Internet capabilities. I did not use it for video, hence no rating for picture quality. At the price, the sound is great. On 350 quid Denon all in one system it sounds obviously worse than CD but not by as much as price difference would suggest. It is much smaller than you would guess from website picture. It has got both optical and coax digital out. Via my Chord DAC on my main hifi system it sounds even better but clearly my friend streamer is superior. But at 30 times the price it hardly surprising. So as a cheap way of adding Internet radio to old hifi it works brilliantly. I still do not understand why Amazon or other big brands can not produce 50 quid box which would combine functionality of Wi-Fi receiver and audio extractor.

Product worked fine but broke after about six months and had to replace it UPDATE Replaced with another one which was defective straight out of the box. Pointless.

I missed the boat on the original Chromecast Audio not realising that it also supported optical output and that the whole philosophy of chromecast was to take over streaming from your phone. This device combined with the Chromecast video (hdmi) provides an optical output enabling me to stream Spotify or any number of radio apps on my android phone to my hifi system. If you can stream it on your android phone most things can simply be cast to a chromecast video and this device can then provide an optical output with which to feed your DAC/hifi. It will also provide a 3.5mm analogue output but I haven't used this. Setup is plug in and go for 2 channel audio. Recommended.

fonctionne très bien.

Works as advertised

I used this in an effort to get my fancy soundbar to cooperate with my TV. This component worked well as advertised to separate out the audio but my fancy soundbar let me down in other ways.

Funktioniert einwandfrei 👍🏼 Wurde genutzt, um den FireTV-Stick über einen HP-Monitor und eine Teufel-Soundbar laufen zu lassen.

It been more than 1.5 year i think and its working totally fine no quality compromise in audio n video one touch sooby Atmos and 5.1 channel change is awesome
