Analog to Digital Audio Converter for AUX RCA to Optical Coaxial Compatible with TV Amplifier Speaker Soundbar Home Theater

I needed this analog to digital converter to get audio from my Sony TV to a Sonos Beam. It works PERFECTLY and with its metal case, it feels and looks as good as you could hope for. Mine came with one cable--mini usb to usb-A (male to male). No optical cable and no RCA cable. That's okay, because I did not need those and I don't think they were offered with this product. No charger for the USB either, but I have plenty of those--especially in mini usb.Background: I have a single HDMI cable running through the wall to my Sony TV. I used to have a Yamaha A/V system for sound and HDMI switching, but I wanted to go Sonos and I was given a CAAVO Control Unit to use for HDMI switching. So with that setup, you'd use the optical out on the TV with the Sonos dongle. However, my optical out (Toslink) on the Sony TV is busted.So, to avoid a complete disaster: return the Beam, get rid of the CAAVO, go back to using the A/V Unit, could I go from the 3.5 headphone out on the Sony, to this Analog to Digital Audio Converter, Toslink out, Sonos dongle, to HDMI into Beam. The amazing answer is, YES!Am I losing all kinds of fidelity and audio options from the TV? Sure, I guess, but it sounds fine and none of that matters when the Sonos Beam is playing music from its own sources. Plus, I can now tap once on my Sonos Move and take the sounds of TV (think sports) outside. I'm sure you won't be able to go from 3.5 analog stereo to 7.1 surround, but that's not what I was after. I wanted to get TV audio to my Sonos system without digging into my wall or buying a new TV. This worked like a charm for this need seconds after I opened the box. Kudos Tiancai for being the missing part to get my Sony, CAAVO, Sonos system working!

First time when I connected it , I thought it may be faulty. I was able to hear very light sound from speaker with lot of disturbance noise/ hissing sound around. Tried audio cables with RCA, 3.5 mm etc. did not work. Thought of returning it and then thought of trying something and it worked. I was giving power to this converter from usb port of tv and probably that could be the issue. When I powered it with cellphone plug, it worked as expected. Now my TV is connected with sound bar and I could enjoy the great sound. What a difference compared to TV sound vs soundbar sound. I would recommend it.

I got this item, I say this product works well plug-in and play! No problems.

I bought this to connect audio out from my mackie big knob (trs->rca) and have that signal go over adat from this device to a TC Electronic clarity monitor. Worked perfectly. Just had to select 'digital input' on the clarity, and was seeing all the waveform/spectrums etc of the audio being played.

Works

Didn't Work AT ALL. Do Not Buy ! Had to return for another brand that worked right out of the box.

I was so excited to hook it up and when I was finished. I turned on my movie and it caused buzzing noises. I think mine came broken, but I’m not happy with this product rn at all.

I use this for my laptop. The speaker bar I have is "advanced" and doesn't have a head phone in for my laptop. This does what it says and works great!

Fonctionne très bien

Funciona tal y como debería, muy buena calidad de audio 👌🏻

Funciona como se describe, tenía esta barra de sonido sin utilizar que solo tiene entrada HDMI, USB y audio digital, con este adaptador lo puede conectar a este monitor con salida jack para sonido

Used to conect an old tv to a soundbar, RCA to optical

There is lag so if you need synchronized sound from ot to other sources that would be an issue but for me this did what it needed to do (connect the tape out from a 70's receiver to a network streamer so that I can stream a turntable to another room)
