eARC 4K 60Hz Audio Extractor, Extract Dolby Atmos Convert Sound bar 18G HDMI 2.0 ARC Support HDCP 2.2 Dolby Digital/DTS Passthrough CEC, HDR, Dolby Vision, HDR10 Support for Sonos Bose (HDA-929)

Item works great. Have this running off a KVM to a soundbar and a monitor. Did exactly what I needed it to do.

I use this device to connect my Apple TV, Sonos arc sound bar and my Samsung TV that doesn't have eARC HDMI. At first, I thought it didn't work and got to contact customer support because the device was not passing surround sound, only stereo. After explaining my setup they indicated to not enable the ARC/Earc button in the front. Something that was against my Audio Engineer instinct and the reason why I never thought about it as a possibility. But this was the solution. I am not able to try Dolby Atmos with my Apple TV but this is a limitation on my Apple TV device that doesn't support it. Only Apple TV 4K will have this option. All in all, great device at an affordable price. Very good size, so I was able to place it behind the TV. Super simple to setup.

First it require power supply and this doesn’t come with one, when you finally find one the tv earc doesn’t work

won't pass through truehd like it says it does.

I have a 12 year old Yamaha RX-V665 receiver. It doesn't support any of the new tech, like Dolby Atmos or DTS:X, which is fine, but it also doesn't output past 1080p, which is a real deal breaker. I have a 4k HDR10+ TV, and the only way up until now to have this tv and receiver setup was to use an optical cable. What sucks tho is the optical cable is only compatible with 5.1 compressed, and it sounds far worse than using the direct HDMI from the receiver. That's where this device solves all my problems. This device allows me to have 4K HDR10+ video direct to my TV, and the audio extracted to an HDMI input to my receiver. So my receiver thinks I have the Roku plugged into it directly, giving me full 5.1 uncompressed, and I still get the full quality from my TV. I've been looking for a device like this for a long time, as the only other solution was buying another expensive receiver to replace my fully functional Yamaha. And I'm so glad it worked out of the box no problems.

I have a 2022 Vizio TV that is programmed to noise gate. It's been so annoying. Even when I bought a soundbar, the sound still processed through the TV before sending it to the soundbar. I found videos talking about hdmi audio extractors, and granted I did have to look up ports and specs to make sure I got an appropriate extractor, but I had high hopes. So I specifically have my Roku Stick plugged into the input port, and my TV and soundbar plugged into their appropriate eARC ports with eARC cables. While it absolutely fixed 99% of the noise gating, there are a bunch of quirks to this setup. The audio will still play out of the TV even when the soundbar is in use, so you have to mute the TV (my TV's speakers are absolutely garbage, which is why I keep bothering with the soundbar). That being said, the TV and Roku remotes do control the TV volume, but not the soundbar volume. So I mute the TV with its remote, and adjust the volume with the soundbar remote. Since it's not directly connected to the TV, the soundbar volume doesn't display on screen, which is fine. Like I said, the noise gating is virtually gone, but the setup has added a couple quirks to my routine. Also I may be crazy but I THINK the audio sounded a tiny bit better from the soundbar before doing this, except in situations where it was gating sound. But it's barely noticeable, and I'm in no way an audio expert.

Here is my setup NVIDIA RTX3090TI HDMI out to OREI eARC 4K and from there out to my soundbar and to LG HDMI 4K Monitor. Unfortunately, this device fails to work with this setup. It does display video feed and sound to the soundbar but there seems to be timing issues with the signal where the 4K LG Monitor will flicker to black multiple times before it starts working again. I tried to connect it with different HDMI cables that support the signal but no luck. This device might work with Bluray player or gaming console but as far as it goes for PC and GPU support it fails. I ended up finding another device that seems to work without issue of dropping signal. Can be found under this code B0F62S348K here on Amazon. I decided to return this one.

Our 10 year old Panasonic plasma HD TV still works great. But, in attempting to upgrade the audio with a Sonos soundbar and subwoofer, I discovered that the TV would not pass Dolby Atmos content from our Apple TV. Neither would our old, otherwise excellent, Yamaha AV receiver. Orei to the rescue. This HDA-929 adapter is fantastic. The Apple TV HDMI data stream goes into the adapter. The video data are sent to the HDMI (ARC) input of the TV. The HDMI audio data are extracted (split-out) and sent to the soundbar. As a bonus, when watching broadcast TV, the TV audio is sent back to the adapter via the ARC, and to the soundbar. Dolby Atmos sounds amazing. I had a suspicion of what we were missing. The Orei HDA-929 made it possible to enjoy this without buying a new TV or receiver. The only tricky thing (and not so, if you follow the printed instructions exactly), is that you have to plug in and power up all connected components, BEFORE you power up the adapter. HDMI means data transmission, so "handshakes," must be established. If your only need is to extract audio from a single source, then I highly recommend this adapter. Set it and forget it. However, if you have multiple sources (Blu-Ray player, AppleTV, Roku box, computer, etc.) you may likely need a combination HDMI Switch/audio extractor. Orei makes some great ones of those as well.
