Analog to Digital Audio Converter, Hdiwousp RCA R/L or 3.5mm Jack AUX to Digital Coaxial Toslink Optical SPDIF Audio Adapter for PS4 Xbox HDTV DVD Headphone (Aluminum)

UPDATE: After experiencing some unsatisfactory results with my W11 upgrade, I decided to roll back to 10. The volume is back to 2 bars just like it was with 8.1, so I added a 5th star to this review.After "upgrading" to newer hardware, I was missing my Dolby surround sound card that fed my Logitech Z-5500 for the last 20 years or so. The newer PC I migrated to only has a 3.5mm external jack, so there's no way I could plug directly into the Logitech. This adapter seems to work just fine, and since I no longer use my PC as a HTPC, I won't miss the surround setup at all. I do believe that there's some loss of volume though in the transition from analog to digital, as previously 2 bars on the Logitech display was plenty loud enough. With this adapter, I have to have it set a 4 to get the equivalent volume, even with Windows set at it's max.

This is a great device for anyone who needs to connect equipment that only has a 3.5mm audio output. I bought it to connect my projector, which doesn’t have an optical audio port, and it worked perfectly for that purpose.One tip to keep in mind, this might be obvious to some people, but it wasn’t to me: use a short 3.5mm cable and a long Toslink cable, not the other way around. At first, I tried using a long 3.5mm cable and a short Toslink cable to connect to my soundbar, and the audio was very distorted and almost unusable. I actually thought the device was defective.Then I reversed the setup, using a short 3.5mm cable and a longer Toslink cable to the soundbar, and the sound quality improved dramatically. Compared to running a 3.5mm cable straight from the projector to the soundbar, this converter produces much clearer, cleaner audio and eliminates a lot of the buzzing noise you sometimes get when no sound is playing.If you have a projector like the Epson Home Cinema 2150, which only has a 3.5mm audio output, and you want to enjoy digital audio without annoying background noise, I highly recommend this device. It’s definitely worth the price.

Great for now. Nice and easy to set up. Very straight forward. Couldn't notice a drop in sound quality of my Bose lifestyle 38 surround sound system which I had for more than a decade and a half. Will tell if am disappointed in the near future. Hopefully not...

One of the previous Bose speakers attached to my Echo Dot was blown. I had an unused high end Yamaha sound bar that I wished to attach to the Echo Dot. The bar required an digital optical connection. The Dot needed an analog 3.5mm connection. The converter worked, but the sound emanating from the beautiful Yamaha sound bar sounded like the speaker on a small cell phone. I have returned it and ordered speakers from Amazon.

I needed something to convert an analog signal from my computer to an optical signal for my sound bar. The sound bar only comes on automatically when there is an optical input. this device does what it says it will do. My only complaint is the cords provided (optical cable and ac cord) are pretty short which limits your options for where you want to place the device.

I like it that you can use your sound bar but in my case only the external speaker works and not the sound bar itself. I have followed the instructions and still doesn’t work. I have checked all the settings on the tv and adjusted them per instructions. I don’t think there is a good way to convert analog to digital optical.

Very easy to connect and use. The soundbar comes on when I turn on the TV! Awesome product!

Works with Roku Streambar to tv without hdmi/arc or optical. Plugs into the white and red audio on tv to converter box, then use the optical cable from Streambar to connect it to converter box and plug the power cord in. It was easy setup. I searched for weeks to find something and finally found someone’s review on here. Thanks to whoever left the review. I’m happy now.
