TV Doesn't Come with 3.5mm Audio Jack? Extract HDMI Audio For Cheap

Me being a cheapskate decides to purchase an HDMI ARC audio extractor rather than getting a soundbar. Screw capitalism right?

You are the man!!! I have been fighting this for a couple years. Bluetooth disconnects every time tv is shut off, and my mother of 90 years has no clue to reconnect. This is so cool! It's criminal that ALL MANUFACTURERS have taken the 3.5 and audio RCA's off the TV's. Anyway, you have made my year!!!

[@MarionMuscare]

Thank you! My son just encountered this issue today with his Samsung TV.

[@adamisr]

Hi there, I was looking for these converters but they all say specifically that they don't support sound from HDTV to speakers out. Any suggestions?

[@YOU-fz9pk]

Thank you so much man. Im facing the same problem.

[@pratushsingh]

My tv doesn't have AUX but my Home theater only has aux. Can I use HDMI eARC to AUX convertor ?

[@CVB073]

My tv goes from HDMI ARC to an HDMI on my mini computer. the 3.5mm from comp to speaker (Stanmore II Marshall) and all works fine also. To play my laptop on speaker, i added additionally usb transmitter 5.3 Aptx HD to the speaker (supports Aptx HD). There are different ways to achieve connections without breaking the bank. But indeed, as u showed in the vid. Wired is pretty easy, secure and hassle-free to handle afterwards.

[@reinulf656]

What kind of mini computer is it? Thanks!

[@student4373]

You just saved me a lot of hassle. Thank you very much!

Can the tv volume control works when using 3.5 mm jack.

[@keetvhdlimited962]

Can you hear sound from Netflix, tv programmes, etc?

[@smollmon]

I bought an eARC HDMI extractor similar to this and successfully connected it, but I can't use the remote controller to adjust the volume... I can see that the TV tries to send digital data to increase or decrease the volume, but my sound system is a simple 2.1 Logitech speaker set, so it cannot receive any information through either from the jack or the RCA cables. It was a waste of money in my case. I guess an amplifier unit is needed that can actually handle the volume information coming from the TV. If an eARC HDMI sound extractor with a built in amplifier exists, I would be very interested in it, because I don't want to buy a soundbar or etc. But so far I haven't find anything like it.

[@marckman1411]

Yeah you need a receiver that will take hdmi arc because your audio extractor is only doing audio. I don't know how aux cord volume works but worth hdmi I know a receiver could properly handle dialing volume from tv remote

[@randomthumper]

Can you adjust volume with the TV remote or do you need to adjust volume at the speakers? Great video, thanks for making it

[@MyEverydayTech]

You adjust volume from the TV.

[@gonzalosuarez1133]

Good video. Can you use your TV remote to change the volume while connected to the hdmi arc? I've heard that sometimes you can't do that when connected to the optical port. Thanks!

[@MyEverydayTech]

Yes you can. That's the reason I choose to extract HDMI arc audio signal. As for why sometimes we can't change the optical audio volume through tv, I'm still trying to find out the exact reason. Perhaps any audio expert could enlighten me on this topic.

[@aednichols]

@@Lexington365 I don't think that's a good explanation, because HDMI is just as much a digital signal and clearly we can send commands in it that adjust volume. I think a better reason is, optical audio is designed to be line-out to an external amplifier, whose job it is to control volume. Therefore, volume commands are not present in the signal.

[@keetvhdlimited962]

@@MyEverydayTech optical is just digital version of rca or aux.

[@tejasdabhire1561]

Thank you for this information dude....

[@gui1816]

Is possible to use the hdmi arc output simultaneously with the tv own speakers?

[@keetvhdlimited962]

. If u want to use tv speakers together u can. If yr sound bar has optical, connect it together with HDMI and u can output from tv speakers and sound bar at the same time . This is how also the Samsung symphony tv work

[@echamps]

thnks man... saved lots of time..

[@cneephile]

Hi bro, My tv has hdmi e arc port and my speakers has aux port. How do i connect them?? Please guide me here.

[@kalanajayasekara7080]

Same problem I got. Please help us mate :p

[@anoniwful]

Aux to rca cable?

[@weird7519]

Sir, on your samsung tv, go to setting, audio, sound output and chose your soundbar for bluetooth, after that i will automatically connect to your soundvar

[@MyEverydayTech]

Bluetooth audio is horrible because of the audio delay

[@ali-sleimanchehade6129]

I'm looking for the same thing but that dose the opposite my PC dose not have HDMI ARC and my sound bar needs HDMI ARC

[@MyEverydayTech]

You should try other option such as optical. Unless your soundbar only accepts hdmi

[@ali-sleimanchehade6129]

@@MyEverydayTech the sound from optical is sooo bad quality I hate the sound quality from it that’s why I’m looking to find a way to connect via HDMI

[@gabint6171]

Thank you for your video. I fixit my problem with my tv , work perfect

[@keetvhdlimited962]

Anyone wondering what this stuff is.😮 It's actually a piece of the same type circuitry that is found inside yr tv.

[@xavier9608]

thanks very usefull !

[@keetvhdlimited962]

Bro you can’t use 3.5mm output to passive speakers, only active speakers. Using non powered passive speakers I heard they will ruin the tv .

[@reinulf656]

2023 Samsung TVs finally support standard USB DACs! Probably you can even just add an Apple USB-C to 3,5mm dongle with an usb-c to USB-A adapter.

[@speway]

lol. Nice.

[@neilmcintosh5150]

Why not just get a simple 3.5mm to HDMI ARC cable?

[@iriscai]

Mine works for KZbin on my LG TV but no sound when I watch Netflix, VIU and Disney+ 🥲

[@keetvhdlimited962]

U have probably set yr tv sound format to auto or passthrough. U must set the tv sound format to pcm or stereo on both the tv and extractor.
