48Gbps HDMI eARC Audio Extractor Dolby Atmos DTS: X VRR ALLM HDCP 2.3 | HDMI Audio Extractor 4K 120Hz, HDMI 2.1 eARC Audio Extractor, Dolby Vision, HDR10, HDCP 2.3, ARC Support

I purchased the BK-929 to use the Amazon Fire Stick as the input because the Fire Stick outputs Dolby Atmos and my TV only has Arc output. The Fire Stick sees this as a Dolby Atmos device and enables Dolby Atmos output. The BK-929 extracts the Dolby Atmos and passes it to my Sonos ARC and my Sonos Beam 2nd GEN without issues. The BK-929 does not use CEC pass through which is a minor inconvenience. Now with the Sonos, this may be in my Sonos Beam settings for Ungroup on Autoplay, I have to actually select TV as Source before sound will come out, I will test this in the future. The Video Pass through works without issues between my 4k 3D LG and my 1080p Epson projector. The BK-929 passes the proper Audio signals to the Sonos devices according to the Audio Signals the Fire Stick indicates for the Source Audio Tracks be it Sterio 2.1 al the way to Dolby Atmos. Compatible with the Fire Stick as input and the Sonos ARC or Beam 2nd GEN as Output Setup was very easy, after all the connections were made, it just worked. Solid build, it feels like quality in your hand. Well worth the money. CON: No CEC pass through, definitely not a deal breaker though. I am very happy with this purchase and would recommend it to others, it just works.

I am using the BK-929U with a Xumo Stream box, Samsung Smart TV, and Sonos Arc Ultra. The device will only initialize properly about 50% of the time, and must have it's power cycled after all other devices are powered on. This is quite inconvenient. but once initialized correctly, it will operate reliably for the TV viewing session. I installed a remote controlled power outlet so that I may cycle power on the device from my smart phone.

I purchased this product to connect my NVidia GPU (HDMI) to my gaming monitor and Atmos soundbar. This is an updated review. I had purchased this product and was originally dissatisfied with it and returned it. I am a PC gamers that was attempting to connect my NVidia HDMI port to my soundbar eARC port and my gaming monitor. My two concerns in my initial review was that BK-929 appeared to be locked to 120Hz even though I was on a 1440p display with much higher refresh rate. Adding custom resolution via NVCP did not work. Additionally, the BK-929 was using the EDID information from my monitor instead of my Atmos soundbar. This meant that the BK-929 telling Windows 11 I only had two channel stereo and no other sound formats were available. This was/is a common problem I found with units from other manufactures I tested. For years companies that created all these affordable "audio extractors" would only support users with televisions which accurately report audio formats. However, PC users were left out as nearly all gaming monitors don't have ARC/eARC. Orei actually read my review and reached out to me after I had returned the product and offered to help me find a solution with a firmware fix. The unit they sent out had an updated firmware that unlocked the 120Hz restriction and was able to support ~220Hz which more than adequate for gaming; however, it didn't fix the issue with unit only using EDID from monitor and not soundbar. I communicated with Orei support and they sent me an adjusted firmware that finally unlocked Dolby Atmos and DTS:X through Windows 11. Orei seems like a company that actually cares and are proud of their products. I'm excited that a solution for PC gamers wanting to use use their GPU's that already have the audio capability for Atmos and other formats finally have a product that will work with eARC connections to audio systems without needing a $400 adapter or an AV system with HDMI 2.1 passthrough. This is important as many of the smaller soundbars that are appropriate for a computer desk typically only come with eARC port and not HDMI input (ie: Beam G2/SB400). I'm unsure if the firmware fix was specifically made for me, or if it will fix the issue for everyone. However, if you're planning on using this device to connect your PC GPU to an eARC port on your sound device do know that Orei support is aware and has a solution for PC gamers.

The audio extractor for sending the video to the tv and audio to the soundbar is really good. The only reason I am not giving it 5 stars is that the CEC does not work with DirecTV’s Gemini Air to control the soundbar from the Gemini remote.

Worked great for my soundbar. I had a bit of issues to get it working with PC. But a few reaching online and I got it working.

Had to return it; It would not allow communication with my sonos beam-2 and samsung 27 inch G8; using the CEC-HDMI; specifically I could not make volume changes; WHEREAS the BZBGEAR 8K60 HDMI eARC Audio Adapter with EDID Support, Allowed full volume-Audio function and worked

Works flawlessly and give your tv and sound so much power.

Its a device to split an audio/video signal to video and audio separately but it does not register as an audio output device in Windows. This makes it pretty well useless. I'm not sure if it was broken before I got it but someone clearly had this before I did despite it being sold as new. I search for possible solutions and found no support responses to it anywhere. I followed the manual for updating the firmware and that still didn't solve the problem. Video passes through, just not audio. Waste of time, returned it.

Bought this to bypass my Xiaomi 4k laser projector which didn't allow Dolby Atmos. Initially didn't work, but after I contacted customer support and was provided instructions on how to get a firmware update, it worked like a charm.

Nice product, good customer support

I have a Tv it doesn't support Dolby Atmos and I have soundbar with Atmos support. With the help of BK-929 I can get Atmos audio from Fire TV stick
