OREI 4K 48Gbps HDMI eARC Audio Extractor, EDID, HDR10, HDCP 2.3 Dolby Atmos

Let me say first that I’m visually impaired. I have a Bose smart sound bar 600 and an Apple TV unit and I wanted to be able to pair my Apple TV with a Bose smart sound bar, but you can’t connect them directly. You have to have an EARC port like what comes with a television, but if you’re not using a television, you need an audio extractor like this their audio extractors that use optical and you can do that and it works great, but they don’t play in Dolby Atmos. This device allows you to be able to pair your Apple TV with your Bose Smart sound bar and get Dolby Atmos signals through to the sound bar it sounds absolutely great. I recommend this product to anyone who would like to do that great product.

Tried several other extractors to tie together my TCL TV with EARC, Sony Surround headphones and Sonos Arc soundbar. This one works exactly as it should and I am able to get all surround formats to work on the Sony and Sonos. Other devices would downmix some formats to 2.1 stereo or not even work at all.

It didn’t work with my Sonos beam gen2 at all. No sound after trying everything. I left several messages for customer support but no one called back so I am returning it.

won't pass through truehd like it says it does.

Bought to get 5.1 surround from a Google TV Streamer to an old dumb TV and a Sonos Beam gen1. It works for Amazon Prime but Disney+ is still giving me Dolby 2.0. Still troubleshooting but I think the Orei isn’t playing well with Disney+. Also it’s a little finnicky, need to jiggle the HDMI connections sometimes. Besides that, works as advertised!

I use this device to connect my Apple TV, Sonos arc sound bar and my Samsung TV that doesn't have eARC HDMI. At first, I thought it didn't work and got to contact customer support because the device was not passing surround sound, only stereo. After explaining my setup they indicated to not enable the ARC/Earc button in the front. Something that was against my Audio Engineer instinct and the reason why I never thought about it as a possibility. But this was the solution. I am not able to try Dolby Atmos with my Apple TV but this is a limitation on my Apple TV device that doesn't support it. Only Apple TV 4K will have this option. All in all, great device at an affordable price. Very good size, so I was able to place it behind the TV. Super simple to setup.

Here is my setup NVIDIA RTX3090TI HDMI out to OREI eARC 4K and from there out to my soundbar and to LG HDMI 4K Monitor. Unfortunately, this device fails to work with this setup. It does display video feed and sound to the soundbar but there seems to be timing issues with the signal where the 4K LG Monitor will flicker to black multiple times before it starts working again. I tried to connect it with different HDMI cables that support the signal but no luck. This device might work with Bluray player or gaming console but as far as it goes for PC and GPU support it fails. I ended up finding another device that seems to work without issue of dropping signal. Can be found under this code B0F62S348K here on Amazon. I decided to return this one.

My intended purpose on this is for soundbar to be used on pc and worked perfectly. soundbar is ultimea and connected to hdmi supports 4k other end hdmi soundbar is also 4k hdmi to soundbar. at first no sound pressed the earc button it worked. the orei is detected as a device in windows and should be set as default. dolby software must be set dolby atmos home theater. No issues even on non dolby atmos content it is reverying back to dolby surround for non atmos.

I can't comment on this as it didn't do what I needed, which was to duplicate a TV's eARC so I returned it, hence the 3 stars as I couldn't really judge it's performance.

​"Si vous avez un excellent récepteur audio (comme un Harman Kardon ou Yamaha) qui ne supporte pas la 4K, mais que vous ne voulez pas le changer, cet extracteur est la pièce manquante. ​J'ai 40 ans d'expérience en électronique et j'ai tout essayé : c'est le seul boîtier qui me permet de garder mon image 4K HDR tout en envoyant un son 5.1 parfait à mon ancien ampli via le port HDMI 'Audio Out'. L'image est fluide, le son est riche et sans aucun délai (lag). ​L'installation est simple, robuste et le résultat vaut largement l'investissement. J'ai maintenant l'impression d'avoir un système à 10 000 $ pour une fraction du prix. Très satisfait !"

Ideal se teu TV não suporta ou não deixa passar algum tipo de formato de audio para o equipamento de som.

Esta porquería no da dolby atmos, tengo Appletv 2023, conecte con cables hdmi 2.1 que compré en Amazon, al orei earc, la salida arc/earc a mi Sonos arc que lo tengo con sub 2 y dos era 300 y la out 1 a la pantalla Samsung lo conecte a un puerto hdmi 1 sin arc. Y también lo conecte al arc y en ninguna de las dos me da La configuración del Apple TV no detecta el Sonos arc como que puede manejar el Dolby atmos. Y se queda en 5.1. Espero que el vendedor me aclare esto y mejor regreso su porquería!!!!!

I kept thinking all this while that my HDMI input on the Bose soundbar was not working. I was connecting it directly to my PC. Thanks to chatGPT, I figured out about this whole eARC thing and sound separation. This extractor works like a charm. I connected it, and boom! way better sound than my earlier optical connection. If you want to project sound to a soundbar (which supports only ARC/eARC input), this is a good solution.
