Astro HDMI Adapter Setup & Review | The SOLUTION for Next-Gen Consoles With GoXLR

The PS5 and the Xbox Series X|S are missing the optical port. With and HDMI adapter/extractor you take the audio signal out the HDMI signal and send it over to the optical port in the adapter and the simply forward the image to the screen. Note: the HDMI adapter works for any headset that uses an optical connection. Not only an Astro headset, you can use this adapter for all brands. In my test I was able to get 120Hz @ 1080p and 60Hz @4K on my Dell 165Hz 1440p monitor. So no performance loss on 1080p

very helpful video man. I've been trying to get a solution to switch audio in my headset for the past year and you've really helped me justify a purchase

[@MekelKasanova]

I just wish we didn’t have to resort to this stuff ya know?

[@MysticNovaYT]

@@MekelKasanova yeah I’ve even thought about buying a small tv with an optical port but this saved me so much money. Now I just need to wait for it to get here

Thanks for the video! Will be picking one up for the Xbox Series X THANKS!!!

Thanks for the recommendation bought 2 with your link.

@@MekelKasanova if and when a 2.1 comes out please let us know.

[@mikeO31082]

Alternatively, Monoprice has a version of thier blackbird 4k hdmi switcher, that has an audio extractor built into it. So there is no need to for multiple boxes for different systems, or additional wires. Got my HDMI switcher that outputs to a TOS link switch (for console & PC), that then connects to an gen2 Astro a50.

[@dropzero]

Nice video man, I'm looking to do the same thing and have multiple consoles set up on 1 GoXLR. You have it seamless which is what I want, turn off 1 console and jump onto the next one without any issues and be able to hear and stream everything. So if I wanted to stream PS5 or Xbox at any time I can without having to mess with settings. I was wondering if you could post a setup guide, where everything is connected and how it is routed? An explanation/diagram of it all would be awesome. Thanks!

[@OneMoreLvlOfficial]

im looking to do the same. i just ordered one and have no idea how im gonna set it up with all my consoles. let me know if you have a fix/explanation/diagram for this. i would appreciate it!

[@xboyPToficial]

Hi there. Do you get surround sound from your PS5/XBOX GoXLR headphones output or just stereo? I like playing my games with surround sound and I have my consoles hooked up to my mixamp surround capabilities! Many thanks.

[@jfproductions24]

great video but would this also pick up the ps party chat if the optical cord is running from the adaptor into a XLR mini?

[@CincoQuallity]

Have you had any heat issues with the device? I've read comments stating that it can get pretty hot.

[@dylanswicegood471]

So I just want clarification after watching; this allows me to run 4k @60 fps still on a xbox series x, correct?

[@domothepotatoman9775]

[@zonic69]

im just using a usb audio splitter for the ps5 to the goxlr. audio still somes out fine with that setup on stream/recording. not sure if it works for the XsX

[@ahch144k]

What’s up so, I just purchased my A40s I have ps5. The surround sound comes on sometimes and sometimes it doesn’t. Also, I can hear friends in chat but they can’t hear me. I don’t have the hdmi adapter yet will the adapter solve this issue?

[@RobbiDelly]

Mekel can I use the Astro device and run it into a pc with usb and only use the hdmi and optical cable setup for discord since I run a separate usb mic for pc and I used to plug the Astro tr mixamp usb into my pc and only run the optical cable to my old Xbox but since I got the new series X there’s no optical input

[@ki3ak811]

Hi. I bought such an adapter, but without a power cable, what cable do you need there because it does not work on a regular USB type B. Please help someone

[@ronaldosio5815]

so i have xbox x series and have the white mix amp A40 and all i hear is a loud noise , all i need is that peice? so i don't hear that noise?

[@joeycruz3754]

Just bought a50s n learned that my ps4 slim doesn’t have an optical slot. Will this work on ps4 slim also? And also I noticed one of the comments said that the audio still wont be as good as if the base was plugged into the system direct. Is that true? I just spent 300$ on this headset n am getting very frustrated with the hoops im having to jump through n would really appreciate if u could clarify that for me before i go n buy an adapter. Thank you

[@domothepotatoman9775]

Will this let me get 4K if I have my ps5 hdmi to plug it in to the adopter

[@Jay-om8gr]

So…is that two different hdmis into the Xbox? One for video and one for this? Because it only has one slot

[@LynchonTwitch]

Thanks for the video man. Did you experience crackling in your headset after setting it up?

[@MekelKasanova]

I honestly haven’t at all. It’s been smooth sailing since day one

[@LynchonTwitch]

@@MekelKasanova fair enough, I've been getting crackling to my headset since i've set it up. what way do you have the PS5 party chat setup if you don't mind me asking. thanks

I don’t use party chat

[@pakdads]

any idea on how to do this with the xbox x but with an elgato hooked in as well, the elgato only works when the HDMI adapter isn't connected

How did you connect your hdmi switch to the audio extractor?

[@jordandavidson4205]

Will this work with turtle beach TAC control too ???

[@PinguHEHE]

Will I be able to chat on ps5 and pc at the same time? And to have both pc sound and ps5 sound at the same time? This is my main question since I don't know how to both listen to music and my pc while chatting on the ps5 party chat? Btw subbed to your channel. Same love for the games I have

[@MekelKasanova]

You can if you’re able to set it up with an audio interface like for streaming although it’s quite complicated to get working and it gets really annoying how inconsistent it can work. I wish there was an easier solution than needing a TOS splitter and then a microphone splitter to go between this and the audio interface. Appreciate the sub my friend and what all games are you playing now?

[@flurksquaa8514]

Can you help. I got the adapter so I could use my mix amp for game chat on my Xbox and discord on my laptop. When I had the Xbox one setup it would work because the usb had to be connected to the laptop, and the optical port to the old console. But the new console doesn’t have the optical port. I have it set up the way it tells me to set it up which is usb to the console from the mix amp the hdmi cables where the need to be. And the optical port attached to the adapter. Then the other micro usb ran to my laptop, but the thing is it’s not picking up the mix map on my laptop for devices or anything. Was wondering if I had it setup wrong or there’s something I’m missing.

[@MekelKasanova]

I can’t help with this as I’ve never done that setup before

[@jefft9506]

Can you use chat still on the Xbox? Without having to plug the controller into the line in and out on the goxlr?

@@MekelKasanova oh wow that’s not good. What would you suggest I do? The Audio via USB is drastically worse, definitely not getting the most out of the $300 headset.
