Orei DA21 Optical SPDIF/Coaxial Digital to RCA L/R Analog Audio Converter with 3.5mm Jack

Got this to connect my soundbar to my PC (through optical cable) - I used the booklet it came with and the result was perfect - I have my monitor connected to the box, the box connected to my PC and an optical cable going in - sound is crisp and my soundbar can now get back to work. Thank you!

Connected from my Blu Ray video output and then to TV there was no audio signal detected. However my player has a seperate audio HDMI out which worked perfectly. It might just be something peculiar to my player. Anyway I was happy. Not tested on Dolby 5.1 as I use 2 ch Pro Logic.

It works perfectly to extract audio from PS5 to optical output for my logitec z906 surround sound system as before; it was going through the TV's optical output and kept losing sound. This issue has been resolved due to this product, although when I went to watch Disney Plus on my PS5 i noticed it won't support 5.1, as on my pc, it does, and i think maybe it is the box itself that is not supported but its fine as long as my games are in surround sound. Both my pc and PS5 are using a z906 5.1 system, so not sure why it's not working with Disney Plus on the PS5 too

I was very disappointed with this product, sadly this product is rubbish and doesn't work unless you set the source (HDMI in) to a PCM 2 Channel Stereo source.Basically I needed it to take in a HDMI source containing either (Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby Atmos) as an Audio Mode and convert that to PCM (2 Channel Stereo) out the 3.5mm Socket and not tell the source device to just supply the PCM Stereo Audio to this product.What this product does is tell the Media Box (HDMI Source) what Audio Mode to output over its HDMI which then gets sent into this product where it then just extracts the Audio and sends that over the required output sockets.They are very misleading when they say it converts the audio, giving the impression that it converts it to another Audio Mode when it only converts the actual medium it uses, like SPDIF or converts it to analogue for the 3.5mm socket.Like if you input a HDMI that has an Audio of say Dolby Digital 5.1, it will not convert that to a PCM 2 channel Stereo output, which is why you hear that loud clicking.So if you wanted a box that actually converts a HDMI source with an Audio Mode (like Dolby Digital etc) to say PCM 2 Channel Stereo analogue out via the 3.5mm Socket look elsewhere due to this will not do that.Due to this and all the misleading I give this product a 1 star rating.

Seems well built. Have not connected it yet so cannot comment on performance.

Changed sky stream settings to Dolby digital and it sends that signal out to a 15 year old Dolby Yamaha av amp via optical.Picture all good too it works with uhd and 4k excellent video quality.

Unfortunatey after purchase this product is does not work with the Sky Q box. Constantly cuts out every few seconds.

Bought an ‘Xbox X’ for my son for Christmas to replace his old ‘Xbox one.’ I didn’t realise on the new Xbox X there is no optical out!!! I had my hdmi going to the projector for video and optical out to the amp for 5.1 surround sound. He had to play games with no sound :(I asked my son to look on Google and see if there was a solution to the problem. Amazon came up first (my preferred choice for shopping) and this little Orei splitter. After watching the video I decided to just buy it.Wow!!!! So easy to use, basically plug and play!!The hdmi cable goes in one side from the Xbox X to the Orei and then the other side optical out to the amp and hdmi for video to the projector with such ease. I tried a Blu-ray Disc in and the amp triggered by the 5.1 DTS surround signal from the Orei box made my day :). Everyone was happy, the sound is perfect!!If you need a Video/Audio splitter then I highly recommend this little Orei box of tricks!! 10/10
