Yes it works. The Extractor takes the audio signal from the HDMI and outputs it via the digital outputs as PCM. I use the Extractor to use the Chromcast with my stereo system.

Yes, you can transfer the sound from your Philips TV to the optical connector of your Sonos Ray by using an HDMI Audio Extractor. This device can extract the sound from an HDMI signal and send it to your Sonos Ray via an optical cable. The Delock HDMI Audio 5.1 Extractor offers an optical TOSLINK output that is suitable for this purpose. You need to route the HDMI signal from your TV to the extractor and connect the optical cable from there to your Sonos Ray.

Hello ! If you connect the HDMI extractor to your computer to display the picture on a TV and send the sound to your speakers, streaming sites such as Netflix or Disney+ will not directly recognise the 5.1 output via the extractor. However, the extractor itself supports 5.1 audio formats such as Dolby Digital and DTS Audio. For streaming sites to play 5.1 sound, your computer and speakers would need to be configured to support these formats, and the streaming sites would need to offer 5.1 content. The extractor does not affect the site's ability to recognise or play 5.1 audio, but it does allow the 5.1 audio signal to be transmitted if it is available.

Yes, the audio signal is still in the HDMI Out. In my case, the audio signal (RCA Out) goes to the music system. To mute the projector (HDMI audio), I simply plugged a cable without a signal into the Audio In.

I have exactly the same problem with a Panasonic TV. I don't get anything other than stereo in the Sonos app.

If i did get it right.

Is [Delock] powered up? [Sony Soundbar] did you choose the right input source?

Hello on the manufacturer's website it is specified that the 4K resolution can only be achieved with a colour depth of 8 bits at a frame rate of 30Hz. https://www.delock.de/produkte/S_62692/merkmale.html Means the audio extractor is too slow to support 4K at 60Hz. I think the PS5 notices this and chooses a Full HD resolution at 60 Hz instead of 4K at only 30 Hz, because a low frame rate of 30Hz disturbs the gaming experience more than a lower resolution. If you still prefer to play at 4K with 30 Hz, you have to see if you can set this manually on your PS5. Unfortunately, I haven't found any information on where and how to do this exactly. If there is such a setting option, it is probably in the picture settings. If you need further help, you can also call Sony's support and ask whether such settings can be changed. https://www.playstation.com/de-ch/support/contact-us/ If you still want to connect full 4K resolution at 60 Hz to your soundbar, you can try: a. Connect the soundbar directly to your PS5 e.g. via Bluetooth if this is supported b. Connect the Soundbar to your monitor and set the monitor to forward the audio from the HDMI to your Soundbar. c. Buy another sound extractor that supports 4K at 60 Hz.

I can't remember exactly, but there is a datasheet with all supported data on the delock homepage :)

should be possible. but i decided to use a different product to keep the 60hz picture quality. i also need it to send the picture to the beamer and the sound to the sonos beam. i bought this device: Delock HDMI Audio 5.1 Extractor, 4K, 60Hz it is important to note that a usb plug is required for the power supply. it is also important to note that the device (both) does not always start on its own. why ever... the devices must both be switched on and off again. I solved this with a switchable socket. if you have any further questions, just ask... greetings

The volume cannot be adjusted on this unit. It simply splits the audio and video.

For this you need a digital to analogue converter. For example, the following product: FiiO Taishan D03K Coaxial/Optical to Analogue Audio Converter (Digital -> Analogue)

Yes, a power supply unit is included.
