Orei 4K 120Hz eARC HDMI Audio Extractor, ARC Soundbar Converter, HDCP 2.3 – Dolby Atmos, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, Dolby Digital/DTS Passthrough for Sonos Bose Speakers, Optical & 3.5mm

I have a projector, Fire TV stick and JBL cinema 150. Since there is no audio return function with projector and Fire TV stick, I have been looking for improving the audio . This OREI product is perfect partner with this setup, We are enjoying Dolby and 5.1 audio from Prime, HOTstar and other apps. Though priced little high, It does the job well and fitted my audio requirements. Best part is its Optical output that produces some of the best sounds with my audio system. Overall I am happy. Looking for long lasting performance.

Not working with sony TV in ARC mode. Using as HDMI splitter & works perfectly. Both ARC switch & EDID switch do not found adding any value.

Hi Everyone, If you are planning to buy this one that please remember that - 1. It would not work with any sound bar which has HDMI ARC capabilities - Even though this product claims but i have an official email from OREI USA that it just won't work. 2. It will work if you have an AMP which take HDMI input. Again check !! Double Check don't waste money!! 3. It works perfectly fine with Amazon Firestick and with clean sound on TV (via HDMI) as well on the Optical Port 4. It is a rock solid body made of metal 5. Good Design For me what it did not work what i was expecting it because of you can call JBL issue or OREI issue, I don't know but for me it was waste of money. I have returned it to seller. Happy Shopping.

I had problem with Apple TV 4K going through my Yamaha AVR. There were so many issues with the video passthrough. Bought this unit as per recommendation from the seller and it turned out to be a good choice. Now I'm able to get the full 4K display on TV and Atmos sound on the AVR. Both doing the best they are supposed to do. Alternatives in the market is HD Fury and it is way too expensive. This is a great option for anyone looking to solve 4K display passing through AVR. Unit is well built and feels solid.

Using this since 5 to 6 months with my XBOX SERIES X to have a optical audio out for my headphone. It does the job just as described in the listing. It is bit expensive but very dependable unit.

HDR passthrough did not work using the device , the remote did not work when the device was in use. Would not recommend this audio extractor.

I was looking for a device that could split audio and video . I have an older av reciever that was unable to passthrough 4k video to a 4k TV. However I still wanted to use the receiver to power my home theater speakers. This product was the perfect fit. It does exactly what it is advertised to do. I have just started using it and am loving it so far. You can output audio either via HDMI or spdif . All in all, i am satisfied and am happy to have found this product.

Not worth... the hdmi port not working from day2

It stopped working after 1 month after the return policy.

Can confirm all HD audio sources bit streamed perfectly! 4k video on new tv and full audio hd master audio and atoms codecs to older a/v equipment. Excellent support on email from before buying it. If you have 4k source and older a/v receiver this is all u need to split audio !

Tengo un Serie X conectado a una Sony X900H y de ahí a un receptor AVR Onkyo. El problema es que en esta configuración hay un retraso en la sincronización del audio con el video al usar la consola y si conecto el xbox directo al Onkyo, el procesador de video del Onkyo distorsiona la imagen de salida al televisor. Instalé este aparato donde conecto a él con HDMI al Xbox, un cable HDMI a la televisión y otro cbablee HDMI de salida de audio al receptor AVR. En esta configuración todo funciona perfecto, excelente calidad de video, el sonido Dolby ATMOS sincronizado perfectamente con el video, todo bien. Pero... Al regresar a la pantalla de Home de la televisión se pierde el sonido. En la televisión, la configuración para la entrada HDMI me lo detecta como PTV o 4K HFR device, no me lo detecta como un Xbox por lo cual no es "transparente" en cuanto a como transmite la señal del aparato que tiene uno conectado y causa conflicto con el aparato de sonido. Aún y cuando intento usar la salida óptica se presenta el problema así que el problema es entre el HDMI out del aparato y el HDMI IN de la TV . La documentación que trae es prácticamente nula y no explica para que sirven los botones de enfrente, aunque en primera instancia puedan parecer claros pero ¿Que significan Out1 y Out2? Trae un botón de on/off para ARC pero no noto que haga realmente algo. Existe un video en youtube explicando el funcionamiento pero realmente no resuelve dudas y a mi parecer solo muestra pasos obvios. En mi caso sí cumple con el uso que le quiero dar, pero creo muchos problemas al resolver otros. En cuestión de transmisión de calidad de imagen y sonido es perfecto, no hay duda, pero consideren que es HDMI 2.0, no es 2.1 y no serviría de puente para 4K@120Hz si es su intención en el futuro. A lo mejor en la configuración de tele/consola/AVR de otras personas pueda funcionar sin tantos problemas pero a mi desgraciadamente no me funcionó bien por cuestiones de comunicación entre el aparato y la TV. Repito, probablemente si el aparato mandara la identificación real del aparato que se está conectando no habría problema de conflictos. En conclusión, para mi es demasiado el estar malabareando de conectar y configurar cada que quiera usar la consola y desconectarlo y reiniciar para usar cualquier otra cosa de la tele así que optaré por regresarlo.

My Pioneer receiver is a few years old and can't do HDMI 4K, so I bypassed it with my PS4 Pro with a direct HDMI connection to my display and then used the PS4's optical out to tie my receiver right back into the setup. The PS5 dropped an audio optical out, ouch. So now I needed a box like this. I felt like this product was currently a little expensive at $55 for "just an" audio extractor. I was tempted by Orei's HDMI 1x2 Splitter with same built-in audio extraction capabilities that was actually less expensive. However, the unique ARC support in this unit told me this was cutting edge (and these days format compatibility is all about "bandwidth"). And I've had terrible luck with splitting an HDMI signal with HDR10 so I went for this. I am glad I did. After a full day of use I experienced no video artifacts, cut-outs, or anything negative that too often happens with HDMI cabling and equipment add-ons like this. I also use a Hue Sync and if you do a lot with HDMI you know that each additional cable interconnection (I'll call that a "hop") adds the possibility of things not working correctly anymore. As I said, not the case for me with this device. I connected this inline in the last hop, between the Hue Sync's output and before the display's input. This way I could utilize any of the 4 input ports on the Hue Sync to send high quality audio to my receiver and the Hue Sync acts like an HDMI switch. So for those looking for verification before purchase my setup goes like this: PS5 HDMI out to PSVR in, PSVR out to Hue Sync in, Hue Sync out to Orei Audio Extractor in, Orei HDMI out to display in (and optical audio to receiver of course). Switched EDID setting accordingly, and voila!, I have full DTS sound coming out of my receiver from the PS5 and 4K (2180p) HDR10 on my display. One thing that may be worth noting is this is not an HDMI splitter despite the two output ports. The second HDMI port is audio only, and will send a 720P black screen as output. However, you could use that hook up to another HDMI supported device like a sound bar if you need the flexibility. The only con is that the manual is super tiny (actual text size required a magnifying glass) and super basic. It doesn't actually explain the functions of -using- the EDID or ARC selection buttons. I'm going to try looking on Orei's site but that seemed rather silly to me, especially for those less familiar with the "technical stuff". The device is other-wise physically plug and play (and yes, it requires the included power adapter). Final note, I did not have the need for ARC so I did not test that functionality. I know that may sound silly but that was not the point of my buying this device. Knowing it could support ARC told me it was very likely using the latest standards and that assumption appears to have paid off for me. I have no reason to assume it would not support ARC properly however, as it really seems like a very well built device that just lacks a decent -manual-.

Used it for 4days with Xbox one X after that it couldnt detect HDMI signal anymore. Tested with other devices same result .. hope my request for a refund is successful
