OREI 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)

This little box enabled me to connect a new soundbar with the Dolby Atmos features fully functional with an older plasma tv. Ironically I was concerned when I first bought my plasmas that they wouldn't last very long well my first plasma still works is in one of my bedrooms and it's 20 years old and still going strong I have two bigger ones that I've had probably 18 years and I just can't get rid of them they've got fabulous pictures I use the fire cube to stream everything and I love my new soundbar. Thank you for making this product so that we don't have to send perfectly good working electronics to the landfills.

Needed this because my TV only has ARC and not EARC. The sound through EARC is so much better! Was confused on the button on the fron if it should be off or on. Emailed the company and they responded quickly with instructions. They also emailed me a file to upgrade thr firmware and helped me upgrade that. Overall I am very happy with the product and customer service and would recommend them for anyone looking for a converter like this.

had this for about 2 weeks and already glitching/blacking out. it also has a slight echo and causes the volume to be lower when going to the receiver I'm using.Communication with the company is unreliable, they don't honor their warranty or product.

I was skeptical due to some negative reviews.It turns out this works great with my Sonos arc/Nvidia shield and my older TV that does not have eArk.Now based on the source I do get Dolby Atmos, Dolby digital 5.1 and DTS.

So this was purchased to avoid the cost of the more expensive competitor. It does function, possibly even getting better quality audio. However, it doesn’t seem to fix the lip sync issue I’ve had since getting the Sonos Arc.My assumption is since the TV (LG OLED B7) has only Arc and not eArc it causes the delay. For me it seems to be a 100-200ms audio delay. Figured since this adjusts the audio it might solve the issue, sadly it doesn’t do such. Might still function for other uses though. Especially if you’re not using it to fix the lip sync issue I’m facing.

It does pretty much everything it says it does, it will support extracting audio from a source, or from the eARC return channel of your television to an older HDMI receiver or sound bar that does not support eARC.Passes through all audio formats I have tried, and passes through 4K 60 HDR just fine. I did not try any high framerate stuff.Depending on your setup though, you may encounter audio delay issues. These are not necessarily the fault of this box, but this box can't compensate for them or fix them, and it would be nice if it had a way to delay audio to correct for delays in other parts of the chain.This is less of an issue however if your AVR or sound bar already has such a setting.

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 tried two of these and returned both. They worked for about 30 seconds and then could no longer pick up ANY Dolby sound. Atmos or 5.1. I fooled with them for hours but could never get them to work right. Support only told me to “change the cables.” Does not work well with new LG TVs.
