This video is exactly what I needed! I was looking at replacing my old HDMI switch and was checking this out. Couldn’t find anything that discussed your option B until I found your video. Ended up buying this and upgrading my Elgato capture card at the same time. Thanks!

I am losing my mind trying to get a 30ft HDMI optical cable to work through a switch at 120hz VRR. I want Series X and PS5 to connect to box. Then one cable to 1080p plasma and the other to 4K 120hz VRR tv. Can't do it. I've spent hundreds so far! Will this box do it?

Okay I'm confused. I have a PS5, Switch, Xbox One X, and a PS3 I want want to connect to a switch and then to my 4k OLED TV (Bravia). I don't use a soundbar or a capture card but do have an AV receiver which is also plugged into my current switch and have 5.1 surround which are connected to the AV unit via proper speaker cable. Currently I have pretty much everything plugged into on HDMI switch but the TV recognizes one of the consoles (the ps5) and automatically labels it on the TV via ARC (I think) but none of the other consoles are labeled. And so my input display says "HDMI 1, PS5 (with logo), HDMI 3, HDMI 4." Now I am not sure if this is connected to this issue but when I turn on any of the consoles, it looks like the TV is trying to connect to that console but it never does. I have to switch the auto HDMI switch multiple times between inputs before at some point it connects. I though I had solved this by buying nice 8k HDMI switches only to find out that it has the input port on the side... I mean seriously? I mean who does that? Anyway I digress. What I think I should do is to get two switches and plug in the Xbox and PS5 into separate switches but then I'm not sure about the PS3 and Nintendo Switch... Oh and I also have a GameCube, PS2 and OG Xbox with HDMI mods, and Xbox 360 (with HDMI) that I would like to have plugged in to the setup and to be able to play immediately but for the time being the PS5, Xbox One X, Nintendo Switch, and PS3 but cannot figure out how to go about it.

im thinking of finding one that can connect my ps5 to the computer monitor and play sound. my other one didnt play sound but only had an image.

Did you use a headset while playing? You may need to switch your audio settings

[@poppacdp]

Are you aware of an HDMI 2.1 switch that supports 4K @ 144hz and has 3-4 inputs?

[@MatsuXL]

4K 120 or 1080 240

[@poppacdp]

@@MatsuXLThanks! And apologies, I rephrased my question after you answered. Are you aware of an HDMI 2.1 switch that supports 4K @ 144hz and has 3-4 inputs?

[@Rezerection]

I love it, I have the same issue, especially with my retro consoles with hdmi mods etc...but I still listen to this and think, man we are dealing with such 1st world problems lmfao. Thanks for the info, may be just what I need.
