## Description

HDMI CEC Less Adapter, Female to Male . High quality gold plated HDMI adapter . HDMI Type A Female to Male . Gold plated connectors and contacts .

Review: So far, it did what I wanted it to do. - I have a Samsung QN65Q7FAM TV and a Samsung HW-M550/ZA sound bar. The other day when I tried using an optical audio cable from my TV to my sound bar and not an HDMI cable, the Dolby digital 5.1 sounds a lot better than it did when using the TV ARC connection. Only problem? I lose all of the neat HDMI-CEC (Any-net +) stuff when using optical over HDMI. What happens when I use both HDMI ARC and optical? The TV automatically defaults to HDMI making my optical connection useless. And then I found out about this little doohickey. It actually does allow me to use both the TV ARC and an optical cable together, but now it routes only the audio through the optical cable without trying to default through the HDMI. The only bad thing is- I had to practically turn off all the TV smart features(which I don’t use anyway) because even though now when I go to turn the TV off, my soundbar doesn’t turn off immediately like it did before. It actually has to wait about five minutes before it figures out there’s no incoming signal but, after everything‘s been turned off for a while, when I go to turn on my TV whether I’m using the TVs remote or my Apple TV’s remote, the TV still does turn on the soundbar and after turning off my TV smart features, I don’t have to go into my TV settings anymore and change the audio output from the TV speakers to the soundbar so all in all, this little adapter does work. Unfortunately, it’s not exactly like it was when I was using the TV ARC but for everything else I can do, I’ll take it. Not only that, being that I found out my TV can’t properly pass Dolby digital 5.1 to my sound bar using an HDMI cable- even if I go into my Apple TV settings and change the audio output from LPCM to Dolby digital 5.1; the only way to properly do that between the TV and the sound bar is through an optical cable.
Review: Permanent Fix for HDMI Audio Control Issue on Sony Bravia - After literally years of frustration with HDMI audio control of my Sony Bravia TV and Sony HTG700 soundbar and desertcart Firestick where the system would insist on reverting back to the TV’s internal speakers regardless of the settings on any of the devices, this adapter totally resolved the issue. I simply plugged it into the 4K HDMI jack on the TV and plugged my Firestick (or other device such as Apple TV module or a gaming system) into it and, Voila! It transparently works as it should, directing the sound format through the Sound Bar without hesitation, glitch or warning on the screen. And it allows me to use all the advanced audio features of the sound bar and TV.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solved my CEC issues
*by M***R on July 21, 2023*

Absolutely should be cheaper, but it did solve my problem of my HTPC interfering with the CEC control between my TV and Receiver. It worked just fine with the HTPC disconnected, and failed to discover each other once the HTPC was connected. Once I plugged in the HTPC through this adapter, everything worked perfectly.
