Yes it works.
The Extractor takes the audio signal from the HDMI and outputs it via the digital outputs as PCM.
I use the Extractor to use the Chromcast with my stereo system.
The device has an HDMI repeater function and routes CEC and HDMI audio to the output (pass-through), which indicates integrated EDID handling. It signals the supported audio formats, including multi-channel 5.1 audio, to the HDMI source device and can process the HDMI signal accordingly. It is therefore suitable for splitting the signal from a switch, even if conventional extractors do not allow this.
Hey WässrigerDroraid53!
I can't remember exactly how I wired it up, but note that this device has an HDMI IN and OUT connection (direction is crucial), so you also need to connect it to the TV in the correct "direction".
In my case, I connected the HDMI output of the TV to the HDMI input of the extractor and only then connected a 2CH active loudspeaker to the extractor. It is important that the button is set to 2CH accordingly.
Yes, you can transfer the sound from your Philips TV to the optical connector of your Sonos Ray by using an HDMI Audio Extractor. This device can extract the sound from an HDMI signal and send it to your Sonos Ray via an optical cable. The Delock HDMI Audio 5.1 Extractor offers an optical TOSLINK output that is suitable for this purpose. You need to route the HDMI signal from your TV to the extractor and connect the optical cable from there to your Sonos Ray.
Yes, the audio signal is still in the HDMI Out.
In my case, the audio signal (RCA Out) goes to the music system. To mute the projector (HDMI audio), I simply plugged a cable without a signal into the Audio In.
If i did get it right.
Video connection: [AppleTV] --HDMI--> [Delock] --HDMI--> [Smart TV]
Audio connection: [AppleTV] --HDMI--> [Delock] --Optical Cable--> [Sony Soundbar]
Powering connection: [PS4] --USB--> [Delock]
Troubleshooting. Is [Delock] powered up? [Sony Soundbar] did you choose the right input source?
For this you need a digital to analogue converter. For example, the following product: FiiO Taishan D03K Coaxial/Optical to Analogue Audio Converter (Digital -> Analogue)
Hello ! If you connect the HDMI extractor to your computer to display the picture on a TV and send the sound to your speakers, streaming sites such as Netflix or Disney+ will not directly recognise the 5.1 output via the extractor. However, the extractor itself supports 5.1 audio formats such as Dolby Digital and DTS Audio. For streaming sites to play 5.1 sound, your computer and speakers would need to be configured to support these formats, and the streaming sites would need to offer 5.1 content. The extractor does not affect the site's ability to recognise or play 5.1 audio, but it does allow the 5.1 audio signal to be transmitted if it is available.
Hi!
I would like to connect my Apple TV 4K to my Smart TV with the sound connected through an optical cable to my Sony surround sound system. I bought this product from Digitec (Delock HDMI Audio 5.1 Extractor, 4K, 60Hz) but I get only the picture, no sound. I have the HDMI cable from the extractor connected to the Apple TV, the USB cable of the extractor connected to my PS4 for power, the optical cable connected from the extractor to the surround sound system and an HDMI cable connecting the extractor to the Smart TV. What am i doing wrong? Please help!
Thanks
Hello on the manufacturer's website it is specified that the 4K resolution can only be achieved with a colour depth of 8 bits at a frame rate of 30Hz.

Means the audio extractor is too slow to support 4K at 60Hz. I think the PS5 notices this and chooses a Full HD resolution at 60 Hz instead of 4K at only 30 Hz, because a low frame rate of 30Hz disturbs the gaming experience more than a lower resolution.
If you still prefer to play at 4K with 30 Hz, you have to see if you can set this manually on your PS5. Unfortunately, I haven't found any information on where and how to do this exactly. If there is such a setting option, it is probably in the picture settings. If you need further help, you can also call Sony's support and ask whether such settings can be changed.

If you still want to connect full 4K resolution at 60 Hz to your soundbar, you can try:
a. Connect the soundbar directly to your PS5 e.g. via Bluetooth if this is supported
b. Connect the Soundbar to your monitor and set the monitor to forward the audio from the HDMI to your Soundbar.
c. Buy another sound extractor that supports 4K at 60 Hz.
should be possible.
but i decided to use a different product to keep the 60hz picture quality. i also need it to send the picture to the beamer and the sound to the sonos beam.
i bought this device:
Delock HDMI Audio 5.1 Extractor, 4K, 60Hz
it is important to note that a usb plug is required for the power supply. it is also important to note that the device (both) does not always start on its own.
why ever... the devices must both be switched on and off again.
I solved this with a switchable socket.
if you have any further questions, just ask...
greetings
