This works surprisingly good for me, since I used it for my Xbox Series X and my Samsung monitor. If you were to buy this you have to remember one major thing before ever using it, the hdmi input cable has to be the same as the output cable, do this and it will work as it is supposed to. Mix them up and it'll still work but will have some problems, best thing to do is have a 3 foot (if you are using it for the PS5 or XSX) going into the input and a long one from the output. By the way when I say the same hdmi I mean the same brand. I have two 3 foot cables which works as I need it to.

Like thousands of people experiencing audio sync issues when using surround sound from their gaming consoles (PS5/XBOX Series S/X), I've been scouring the internet for any type of comprehensive solution. All have failed. They've either not totally solved the out of sync problem, or they've introduced a new problem such a drop in frame rate, resolution, or refresh rate, or variable refresh rate (VRR).If you've already dropped thousands on a next gen console, modern TV, and high-end sound system, you really don't want to feel like you're giving up features. And that's exactly what many folks like myself have been doing as we have been in search of a true optical audio extraction solution for optical sound systems and sound bars.After going through 6 other devices for extracting and syncing audio and video and finding flaw after flaw, I finally found this device. I did not have high hopes as I have learned that solving all of these issues and preserving all of your HD sound and video fidelity is not trivial.This is the only device I've used that will extract Doby Surround (both Doby Digital and DTS) via optical from the XBOX Series S/X and PlayStation 5 while preserving all of your advanced 4K HDMI features, including HDR10, 120 hz, VRR, etc.Solves the infamous out of sync issue that all of the other devices and televisions introduce when routing optical out sound separately from HDMI.This product is worth ever penny and I can tell you there is no other current solution that works as I've tried them all. Please note, that while ARC is not supported on this, it's completely unnecessary as it will handle both the video and audio input and output much like a receiver would. You won't be dancing around back and forth from your TV. You simply provide your input to this device and it will separate out your video and audio in sync, and output them to HDMI and optical.

I wanted this to work, I really did. And it kind of does. Almost.The setup: A PS5, two high quality HDMI cables, a Gigabyte Aorus FO48U, a Bose TV Speaker soundbar, and a SPDIF optical cable.Right off the bat this didn't work. It has four settings: 4K120Hz 7.1, 4K120Hz 5.1, 4K120Hz 2.1, and COPY.It starts at COPY, and this setting DOES NOT WORK. Blank screen, no input detected on monitor, no audio from soundbar.Switched it to 7.1, and it works! Clear (if a bit metallic) audio, perfect picture, great! But I don't want 7.1 output, I want 2.1 output, because I only have a 2.1 speaker.Switched it to 5.1, and it still works.Switched it to 2.1, and it doesn't work. Blank screen, no input detected, no audio.I messed with it a bunch more, swapping cables, switching between settings, plugging and unplugging things, turning things off and on. It ONLY works when set to 7.1 or 5.1. Ok, fine, I can live with 5.1 and just hope I don't actively miss out on audio from the other 3 channels the PS5 now thinks it has access to.The audio quality is noticably decreased from my previous setup which was a USB soundcard connected to the PS5. (I wanted to move away from this because the PS5 thinks it has headphones plugged in all the time.) I don't know for sure whether the drop in audio quality is due to this device, or due to my soundbar getting a 5.1 signal it doesn't technically support, so I won't hold that against this.Unfortunately, the bad news doesn't stop there. This only actually works about 1 in 3 times. I turn on the PS5, nothing happens. I turn off the monitor and turn it back on, nothing happens. I turn off the monitor and turn it back on AGAIN, and now I get audio and signal. Repeat this every time I turn anything on, it never gives signal on the first try.Unfortunately, that's not even the worst news. Today, I turn it on, go through the usual on and off pattern, and then we get to the image posted with this review. Image is fuzzy and pixelated, it only fills 2/3 of the screen vertically, the PS5 has no idea what the resolution its outputting is. I no longer trust this device.I unplug this device, put it back in its box, and return to my old setup. Everything works fine again. I should have bought a TV with eARC support instead of a monitor, even though I don't want any "smart" TV features. A valuable lesson is learned.
