Just for clarity.... I believe the device has to be switched from 7.1 to 5.1 to enable dual soundbars. Sooo... no ATMOS. :( I'm currently in back and forth communication with Orei's tech support trying to find a way to run dual soundbars 7.1 and 5.1.
Good review. I wonder if you can answer 2 questions I have: is the CEC volume control sluggish? I have a different HDMI audio extractor currently and while CEC works, it's quite slow. eg on the AppleTV it shows what looks like a loading bar when I am changing volume instead of changing immediately. The second question is whether it has CEC auto-switch for the sources. For example, on my current switcher if I have the Nintendo HDMI selected and I wake up the AppleTV, it automatically switches over. Thank you, very hard to find this type of info online.
Hello :), I have an older Samsung TV that only has two HDMI ports and no digital port. We have a new soundbar that requires HDMI arc or earc. Will this equipment allow me to do the connection? I have watched so many videos and I’m confused on what equipment I actually need. I thought about using a device to make my Tv Bluetooth capable, but do not know what the best option for sound, etc. would be. I’m hoping I don’t need to buy a new television. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Does it support CEC volume control of Soundbar connected to earc using television remote ? I have a earc extractor which does pretty much the same as this one but doesn’t pass through CEC volume t control :))
Thanks for the very informative video! It actually answered the questions I have very clearly. In your opinion is there other alternatives to this product as well that serve the same functionalities?
So my main concern is that my samsung tv does not have dolby atmos, only dolby digital. So basically if i used apple 4k, connect it to the splitter, can connect the splitter to the doly atmos soundbar directly, then i will be able to experience dolby atmos right?
Hi Steve. what I need is an HDMI arc pass though to sound bar with a fiber optic feed to a hearing aid send unit. can you tell me if the had-935 will do that? thanks.
I have an lg 4k 27gp950-b monitor and an Xbox series X hooked up to a Polk Audio magnifi through an hdmi-audio converter that puts out 1080p 120hz at best. The monitor doesn't have an optical or e-arc connection. Will this extractor put out 4k 120hz with my setup?
Do you know an alternative please? This thing is out of stock everywhere I look, and kts lerfect for what I want to do, I need CEC,Earc, 3 inputs, 1 output to TV and 1 to my sonos soundbar. Why have they discontinued this box it does it all.
I have a BD4k player with Dolby Atmos and an Amplifier 7.1 with Dolby Digital TrueHD coding but without Dolby Atmos decoder. Currently, the amplifier doasn’t read Dolby Atmos on-top information and plays only audio 7.1 channel. The “HDMI eARC Audio Extractor“: a) Ignors the Dolby ATMOS information and produce an 7.1 audio output? So, for me, the result would be the same… b) Or, it converts the Dolby ATMOS information in a 7.1 audio output no-compressed, so, I could appreciate the Dolby ATMOS on my 7.1 no Dolby Atmos system? Sorry, I hope, but I am not shure to have explained my issue clearing
I have an lg oled tv c3. I want to get the best audio have it presently connected connected optical but want the best sound. Goes to bose 535 system what extracter would be best to hook it to get full sound and 4 k and how to connect thanks for your help 3:21
I'm needing one like this that will support 4k 120hz 2.1 hdmi vrr hdr pass through split into 2 outputs for tv supporting 4k 120hz and soundbar supporting earc + dolby atmos. 2 inputs would be great as well. What do you recommend Steve?
Hi, in line of this, would like to know if the device can decode Dolby Atmos content to 7.1 channel? if thats the case, we can place the "surround Left Right" over the head speaker to emulate 5.1.2 settings. Any thought?
my computer is the source, connect the hdmi port on VGA to HDA-935 into input port 1, connect hdmi tv/eARC hdmi to my TV and projector device without eARC port, bose 900 soundbar connects to the soundbar port eARC on HDA-935. So can my speaker play Dolby Atmos 7.1 sound??? I bought this device before but it couldn't output sound so I want to ask carefully before ordering ^^ Can I ask what's the difference between HDA-935 and HDA-931? thank you!!!
Im considering getting one, however will I get Dolby Atmos if my tv doesn’t support 2.1 hdmi ? I want to connect my Sonos beamgen 2 to the sounbar port, and my pc to the one of the hdmi inputs - thoughts ?
Hi!! If my TV is only ARC (dolby digital only decoding) can I take the sound from my PS5 to the soundbar then only send the video output to my TV with this? Really need your wisdom!!!
Thanks for the video. First question if I am watching a movie with 7.1 audio will the optical port still send out 5.1 audio? Second question if I connect a sound bar to the eart hdmi will still send audio from any of the hdmi ports selected even that I am connected to a projector with no arc or earc capability?
I purchased the unit. For the second question the answer is yes! I get audio on the earc out port even with no earc at the tv port . I am using it to connect my Devialet Dione sound bar and it works well. I am just having problems with my Mac mini detecting a stereo connection preventing me to configure multi channel surround sound output
Think I need to watch this again. It caught my eye as it mentions " sound bars". Just curious as I have Sonos beam , would this help with the fact that watching " 1080 blu ray" as there's no beam days I have to settle with PCM stereo, Any thoughts ?? Thanks 👍
very informative video but i have a question will this device work if i connect my laptop as an Input and my soundbar which supports dolby atmos and has only earc port so can get only audio out of this device without a need for a tv as i watch most of my content on laptop
I bought Orei HDA-935 and I want to connect my Mac mini to it and to my soundbar for watching movies with atmos but I can’t get atmos sound only PCL signal and only when I connect the device via usb-c port on my Mac

@TechSteve great video bro ... just have one question, my tv only has arc , will it still be able to send the Picture and audio through it even though it's earc ?
Hi Steve. Not a techie. I have a tv with ARC and a soundbar with Earc. Can I convert my tv to eArc using this and have Atmos lossless sound come out of my soundbar regardleas whether I use the tv, firestick, or game console as my source?
I have the OREI HDA-931. I was running my Apple tv 4k, Bose 600 and Samsung 4k TV with it. When it worked everything sound and looked great but I did have issues of losing audio when formates where changed and then it stop working for me all together. Can you test it on say youtube TV with your Apple TV and see if there is any delay when changing channels. Some channels where in 5.1 while others where in 2.0 and that switch caused some issues for me.
Sorry I don’t have have the gear you have, you can try going into apple TV and turning off match frame rate, some times that cause issues. It’s under the video settings, it might not be the fix but worth trying
