HDMI ARC Adapter, ARC Audio Extractor with Digital Optical TOSLINK SPDIF Coaxial and Analog 3.5mm RCA Stereo HDMI ARC to RCA Audio Converter

I returned it because my TV wasn't compatible otherwise a great product.

This HDMI Arc Adapter works Great. If your New TV does not have Audio Out, you need this. But your New TV must Have HDMI ARC. This Adapter takes the sound out of the TV HDMI ARC and changes it to RCA, which you can then send to your Stereo.

On off switch didn’t work and then it lost power completely and won’t turn back on. Total junk. Also only came with small micro usb cord, no HDMI or power adapter.

UPDATE - I now tried the unit with a 2024 Samsung TV (as opposed to a 2013 Samsung TV) . MUCH better audio volume - easily adjusted with the headset volume - enough volume that if the headset is turned to max volume, it's too loud. Revising to 5 stars. The audio coming into our headphones is weaker than when they're attached directly to the TV. Not a biggy but would be good to have a volume control.

This device works as an HDMI-ARC audio interface from our Samsung TV to a set of wireless headphones. It does not come with cables (optical, RCA, etc) to attach it to the external sound device which would have been nice. I had previously purchased a similar device from another manufacturer that did not work, though it indicated that it should, but it did come with all three normal cables.

This is the second or third item I’ve purchased trying to get my new TV to play through my old receiver. This one did not work. I tried EVERYTHING so I’m all honesty I’m not sure what’s going on. I’m giving it 3 stars because it’s a quality device. It just doesn’t work for me.

Works well with my RF headphones while watching direct tv programming and over the air tv on my new Samsung tv. But, for some reason, it does not work when watching any streaming TV. ie: prime video, netflix, paramount plus, peacock

It will run sound from a Vizeo TV HDMI ARC through my old school stereo via a mini plug, but is finicky and not consistently reliable. Once working it’s ok, but plugging, unplugging, turning off/on is required. It won’t stay connected if tv is turned off overnight. Helps if you select the switch on the adaptor to off when shutting down the tv. Not a hassle free plug and play. Also seems to require a tv unplug/reset at times.
