    im having issues with mine. i have my projector installed, running an HDMI cable to my box, i have a Firestick on the converter and then the audio RC aux goes out to the receiver thats connected to my 5.1 surround sound. It just wont connect. It was good at first then my firstick had issue and all i did was disconnect the firestick, sent it back and reordered a new one and connected JUST the firestick and now no sound at all.

    • @Robert_Cain
      @Robert_Cain  4 месяца назад

      Not at all, it’s 1 to 1 on the outputs. The box just splits into another audio output not video. However there isn’t any audio lag, I’ve updated mine with Bluetooth speakers and works like a champ.
      I’ll have to make an updated video with the full setup.

    How do you get surround from RCA cables?

    • @Robert_Cain
      @Robert_Cain  2 месяца назад

      Great question, technically you can’t as they only carry 2 channel stereo audio. You will need use HDMI or a coaxial cable.
      In regard to the video, this was just a mock up of how to get audio to an external source.

    • @Robert_Cain
      @Robert_Cain  10 месяцев назад +1

      That’s a great question: unfortunately, I’ve never experienced that issue. (Knock on wood) I did find this online:
      Power-cycle your Fire TV Stick, the good way:
      Just unplug the power cable from the wall. And do the same with your internet router.
      Then wait around two minutes and then put everything together again.
      Check back to see if that screen is gone.
      Check on how your Fire TV is wired.
      Make sure you are using the HDMI extender, the one that came in the box (the six inches one, with female and male HDMI ports, your Fire TV Stick goes in the female port and the male one goes into one of the HDMIs of your TV).
      Also, try a different HDMI on your TV and a different power plug. Have you tried a different USB cable as well?
      The power cable goes from the outlet in your wall to the side of the Fire TV Stick, make sure you are not connecting the USB end to the back of your TV.
      Check for updates:
      Once you get back to the home page follow this path: Settings →My Fire TV → About → Check for software updates, and allow your device to install any pending component.
      If none of these tricks are working... Reset your Fire TV Stick.
      Hold the U-Turn Button + the LEFT side of the circle. Hold them for 15 seconds, Then allow your device to reset.
      After this, you will be able to set up again and fix any of these software issues.
