It has a durable metal enclosure with a slightly odd but simple button and input layout.

Optical output on the AHE01 doesn’t support DD+, Dolby True HD, and other higher Dolby and DTS formats (only DD 5.1 and DTS 5.1). Another thing to pay attention to is the EDID switch. EDID is a feature that enables the communication between the output device (display) and a source device (Blu-ray player, DVD player, cable box). EDID basically allows the source device to know the max capabilities of the output device (max resolution, frame rate, display size, HDR support). In our case, EDID allows the source device to know what kind of audio to send. AGPtek HDMI has three audio mode settings—Pass, 2 Channel, and 5.1 Channel. These settings determine the compatible audio format depending on the particular setting chosen. Avedio Links is, by far, the most versatile switch/extractor at this price point. It has one HDMI ARC output and 6 HDMI inputs. Along with versatility, it also supports 4K resolution (at 30Hz) and, like all the other devices on the list, it has audio extraction capabilities. Avedio Links is a great choice if you want to connect many devices to your TV but don’t have enough HDMI inputs. What’s in the box?The inputs are all HDMI 1.4b (not 2.0).

Here, we have come up with the main factors you should consider if you want to buy an HDMI Audio Extractor. Compatibility If you are looking for an HDMI Audio Extractor with ARC, we highly recommend the OREI Audio Converter Extractor + ARC Support + SPDIF + 3.5mm Output HD-925. In terms of hardware connectivity options, this audio extractor-converter device accepts only one HDMI input. From this single HDMI input source, this device is able to extract and convert the audio to two different formats: optical output, (for SPDIF audio) and 3.5mm stereo output. This is the most important thing to consider when choosing an HDMI audio extractor. The extractor should not reduce the video resolution or degrade the sound quality of the audio signal when it extracts it from HDMI. 2. Video resolution is important Orei HDA925 is a very capable HDMI extractor with 4K/60fps capabilities, HDCP 2.2 and HDR support, as well as ARC support. What makes it special it the existence of a dedicated audio-only HDMI port that can output 2.0, 5.1 or 7.1 audio. What’s in the box?

The extractor will output AC3, DSD, DTS, the Dolby True-HD, and DTS-HD Audioformat, but the device can’t decode these Audio formats. You should set the Audio format to PCM/ LPCM Audio format if you experience no Audio on your amplifier or soundbar.

Audio ports on ESY089 can output 2.0 and 5.1 surround sound. TOSLINK output supports LPCM, Dolby Digital, and DTS 5.1. It doesn’t support DD+ and other advanced surround sound formats.An upgrade of the previous OREI HDA Audio extractors, the new HDA-912 4K supports higher video resolutions like 4K@50/60Hz, 4K @30hz, 1080P 3D and 1080P@120HZ. HDMI audio extractor can come in handy when building a large home theater system with a Blu-ray player, projector, and a 5.1 surround sound speaker system (or a powered stereo speaker system). Since most projectors don’t have audio extractors or, in some cases, they have only AUX or RCA audio outputs, you need an audio extractor to separate the signal coming from the Blu-ray player, and then send video to the projector and send audio to your AV receiver (or to your powered stereo speakers).
