Amazon Basics Audio Extractor Converter, HDMI to HDMI, Audio (SPDIF + RCA Stereo), Black

Product Information

Thanks for your question. You will need an extractor with at least one HDMI input, one HDMI ARC output, and one headphone output (all the other inputs/outputs are optional). You would have to connect your Roku to the HDMI input, connect your Samsung 4K TV to the HDMI ARC output (use the HDMI ARC input on your TV), and then connect your Bluetooth transmitter to the headphone output.

The extractor doesn’t have HDMI 2.0 ports, it’s not HDCP 2.2 and HDR compliant. Also, it doesn’t support 4K resolution. We also used the OREI Audio converter Extractor to reduce audio-lag issues when using ARC with a Roku 65-inch TV. We fed the HDMI output from the hub into this HDMI audio extractor and used the 3.5 mm output to connect the 5.1 speaker system. The audio lag completely vanished.

What makes a good HDMI extractor?

There are models that support RCA, 3.5 mm, digital optical, and HDMI. Additionally, there are other pieces of equipment that provide HDMI audio extraction functions in addition to other features such as source and output switching. Another issue is that connecting the Newcare 4k HDMI Audio Extractor to your TV or device requires a long HDMI cable, which may be frustrating for some users. This product extracts a digital HDMI audio signal out of the HDMI input as well as converting it to a 2 channel analog stereo output. The device supports a video resolution of up to 1080p as well as 2.25 Gbps for every channel bandwidth. J-Tech supports 12 bit each channel deep colors as well as Video EDID pass Through, HDCP Plug and Play. It also has an audio EDID setting including SPDIF stereo output, 2CH for L/R as well as supporting uncompressed audio, for instance, LPCM. This product provides outstanding flexibility through the 3 new audio EDID settings. It also supports Apple TV as well as Blu-ray Player. When it comes to YouTube, this incompatibility issue probably applies to some paid service like YT Premium or YT TV. Regular YouTube works just fine on all of them.

If you're setting up a home theater and you want to include a variety of inputs and outputs leading to stereo or surround sound speakers, a good HDMI audio extractor can help you grab the signal coming from your TV or Blu-ray player and send it to your receiver without using the television as an intermediary. The result is much higher fidelity and, often, no loss in picture quality. We did not experience any issues while setting up the audio extractor though. However, ensure your HDMI cable meets the HDMI 2.0 specifications. If it does not, we recommend replacing your existing cable with one that supports HDMI 2.0. J-Tech switch/extractor can output video through the HDMI 1.4 output port. The max supported resolution is 4K (at 30Hz). The max bandwidth is 9.95Gbps and the max color format is 36bit per channel. HDMI output supports both ARC and CEC.

If you are looking for an HDMI audio extractor that supports the highest video resolution to 4K at 60 Hz, the J-Tech Digital 4K 60 Hz HDMI Audio Extractor can be a good buy. Inside the box, you will find your Musou extractor, power adapter, user manual, and a warranty card. Audio cables and HDMI cable are not included. Things we like ViewHD switch, just like all the others on this list, is small and compact. This one is a little bit more eye-catching because of the bright yellow color of the housing, but that should not be a deal-breaker.

We used the OREI Audio converter Extractor with different gaming devices such as the PS5 and Xbox One, and the overall experience was great. This HDMI audio extractor allowed us to play games at 4K and 60 Hz with low latency and extract audio from different sound systems. In fact, the OREI Audio Converter Extractor + ARC Support + SPDIF + 3.5mm Output is one of the best HDMI audio extractors for PS5.Thereby, the 4k resolution is offered at 30Hz instead of 60. However, it does include the option of being able to enjoy the 3D video as well. The three sound options are standard and include dual-channel left-right, 5.1 Dolby surround, and Toslink. (Which runs through an optical cable) HDMI ports are not 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 is not supported. Due to this, the switch/extractor can’t output 4K/60hz resolution. The biggest advantage of the Kinivo 450BNT switch is 4K support (at 60Hz). The max supported color format is 48bit while the max bandwidth is 18Gbps. The switch also supports 3D videos and HDR. 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?

An HDMI audio extractor splits an HDMI input signal into an audio output and a normal HDMI output. While most models only output an analog line-level stereo signal with RCA or 3.5 mm connections, there are models available that output analog 7.1 sound and more.The switch features HDMI 1.3 ports that are not HDCP 2.2 compliant. It also doesn’t support 4K resolution. This J-Tech Digital audio extractor-converter offers a full range for three EDID settings. These three options include a dual-channel left-right stereo out, (3.5mm) 5.1 channel Surround Sound and EDID to TV.
