Review: Great Product! - This box simply works as detailed with very clear picture and audio. I'm very picky on both and have returned products due to the slightest noise that gets introduced but this box simply provides great picture and sound quality without any noise that I've noticed. There is one thing that I was trying to do with someone saying it should work but it doesn't. That is I was hoping I could get dolby digital 5.1 out through the coax I'm using from the box (or toslink would work also) while at the same time getting a simply audio signal (2.0 would be fine) out through the HDMI at the same time so my wife can simply watch prime or Netflix with sound from the HDTV speakers without worrying about turning on the processor to get the DD 5.1 sound to come on since she doesn't care about that, just wants sound out through the HDTV. When I got the DD 5.1 signal out through the coax output on the box using the 5.1 switch setting also on the box, my older process works great by providing DD 5.1 while no sound comes out from the HDMI output of the box to my HDTV. In truth, this is best since the HDTV doesn't need to be muted when listening to DD 5.1 since easy to forget and have sound coming out of both the HDTV and 5.1 speakers. Now I can select the Audio Copy on the remote or move the switch on the box to Pass Through to get sound from the HDMI output on the box but for some reason, DD 5.1 is not provided from the coax output of the box. My processor recognizes a lower level of sound such as prologic or some simulated DD 5.1. No worries, I can use the remote to use the Audio Copy to get audio from the HDMI output for my wife to use then use the remote to select 5.1 to get DD 5.1 from the coax output. I found the remote has to have direct line of sight to work since the box is hidden behind my stand but still not a problem. Really best to just have my wife learn to use the processor for sound, she can do it just fine. I wanted to share this in case someone finds the same thing. Someone replied to one of the questions indicating DD 5.1 should come out of the coax or toslink while audio also comes out of the HDMI output but this is not the case as I've detailed. Still this box is a steal for performance at the price and it provides 2 HDMI inputs to 1 which I also needed. I'm using a new desertcart Fire Stick 4K plugged into one of the HDMI inputs while using a Blu Ray player in the other. The box works as detailed to automatically switch to the latest device selected. So if already on the Blu Ray player it will switch if I select Home on the box remote or switch the other way by turning the Blu Ray player on. Glad items like this can be found that work great to support older equipment to prevent folks spending a lot more money to buy a new processor or HDTV with more inputs. I'm using this on a small HDTV sound system set up and not my main HDTV sound system so older DD 5.1 or DTS is just fine, sounds great actually. Hope this review helped someone. RH UPDATE: Box already doesn't work after only 1 week, neither HDMI input recognized. I plugged both HDMI cables directly into my HDTV with both recognized but when plugging back into the box, neither HDMI input LED lights up like before. I unplugged and plugged back in several times with no luck. With both HDMI inputs unplugged to the box, both LED's for the HDMI inputs light up along with the ARC detect button. So box is very confused and doesn't work. Already got it ready to ship back. This is very disappointing for being so satisfied in the beginning. I am looking at other similar devices with thousands of reviews with high marks instead of this one only having 25 so likely will pay more for another device that should hopefully be more reliable. The low price attracted me to this box which is fine if it continued working. Guess I'm glad it died so quickly to make returning it very easy. Reason I'm changing my score from 5 to 1, this kind of reliability issue is very problematic. I would be afraid the same issue would occur if I did tried another one. New update: Supplier for this item contacted me directly upon finding out about the issues I was having. The support has been about the best I've received from anything I've purchase from desertcart so credit they follow through with their support. Makes me believe the 1 year warranty is valid with them honoring it during this time if any problem occurs. I hooked up the new box and so far so good, box works as intended. The box is providing 5.1 DD and DTS along with switching automatically from one HDMI input to the next if I power ON the next device, takes a few seconds as the directions indicate is normal. Then when I turn the Blu Ray player OFF, box switches back to the other input with my desertcart Fire Stick 4K. I'm using the coax digital output due to all my toslinks inputs on my surround processor used. For whatever reason, it seems hard to find an item similar to this with coax also included. In any event, this box should hopefully work out much better since any electronic device can have issues when new. I'll try and update again after some time goes by to indicate if all is still working as it should. I think I'll leave the box powered ON all the time. I do this for my computer and select electronics that have lasted for decades without problem. Adjusting the overall score to 5 due to the great customer support. Review: good solution for folks with 2 hdmi output devices and soundbar / optical audio - So as of July-ish 2020, AppleTV first gen dropped HBOGo / Now apps, Tivo did the same (also previously dropped Xfinity on-demand), and even though I pay for HBO through my provider (Xfinity) I had no way to watch on-demand HBO on my nice big TV. Yes, screen mirroring from the new HBOMax app to the old AppleTV works, but who wants to open an app, select content, and control their tv from an ipad or iphone? We just didn't enjoy that experience. After checking out other streaming box options, each of which had one drawback or another, I bit the bullet and bought an AppleTV 4K 32gb - but had to find a solution for its lack of an spdif output. Without that, I'd have no soundbar / sub, and although the TV has great add-on speakers - it's an old Pioneer plasma - I still wanted to see if I could find something that would work. Found this avedio box and my problem was solved. Connected its HDMI output to the Pioneer, fed the Tivo and new AppleTV (with no spdif) HDMI to the inputs, and lastly connected the avedio's spdif output to the soundbar spdif input. Everything worked as expected, and as a side bonus, we don't have to scroll through input selection on the tv since we're only using 1 HDMI on the Pioneer, and don't have to fiddle with the soundbar's audio delay settings any longer. So far - about a week - the avedio unit has been working well. It switches between sources and delivers proper video output resolution to the plasma, and audio to the soundbar. Nice to have the center channel / simulated 5.1 + subwoofer with the AppleTV. The Tivo has spdif out, but we're not using that since installing the avedio unit as it's not needed - Tivo and AppleTV audio both ride HDMI to the avedio splitter. 2 gripes. 1 - the remote is not the best, though it is functional - we have to get within about 6-8 feet of the unit to switch sources. 2 - the red power and source leds are realllly bright. Some electrical tape solved the light issue, but I guess we'll have to live with - ugh - getting up off the couch to switch sources. Anyways, this avedio unit does what it's supposed to, and also has other output options if you need 3.5mm (headphone, PC speakers) audio out, plus it also supports RCA / coax, which should work with older style AV receivers. Overall a nice device that should help folks with 2 HDMI output devices feed their TV and audio systems conveniently. EDIT and UPDATE: 04/21 - finally realized changing the battery in the remote might help, and voila, it works from across the room ~15 feet. It had a CR2025, I replaced it with a CR2032 which fit just fine. As can be expected from a technical person like myself, the last thing I changed or checked was the simplest, and fixed the remote "problem". I've switched over to a new sub / center channel setup courtesy of a friend (free! Sony DVD player w/multichannel 5+1 and spdif input but we're only using the center and sub + the TV speakers). It works great. Every now and then I have to go into the dvd player audio sync setup and adjust the delay, but that only seems to be required after a power outage or brownout. Things seem to get wonky after those. Still recommend this setup for people whose gear meets this use case. ## Features - β˜…4K@60HZ 2X1 HDMI SWITCH with AUDIO EXTRACTOR: This 4K HDMI Switch allows you connect Two HDMI 2.0 Sources to one display device, Each input source support audio extract by the Toslink+L/R+Coaxial audio output channel.

My old satellite receiver had an optical Dolby 5.1 output, which I connected to my sound system amplifier. My amp is an older model, and doesn't have an HDMI input. I am now using an Amazon 4K FireTV Stick, so I needed an audio extractor to get the audio signal out from the Firestick, to my amp. I found that this little unit works well for my application. Since this unit does not support Dolby Digital Plus (nor does my amp), I had to change the audio setting in the Firestick to "Always Dolby Digital", instead of "always Dolby Digital Plus". This works great, and now my amp always receives a Dolby 5.1 signal, regardless of the source encoding. The amp will downconvert to stereo if the source encoding is not Dolby Digital. The Dolby 5.1 sound quality is good. My only complaint is that I wish it had a memory for the settings. If I enable ARC, and then power down the unit, it does not maintain the previous setting when powered up again. ## Frequently Bought Together - avedio links HDMI Switch Audio Extractor, HDMI Switch Splitter 2 Inputs 1 Output with Remote 4K@60hz, 2-Port HDMI2.0b Switcher Box with Optical Toslink SPDIF+Coaxial+Analog RCA Stereo Audio Out - Amazon Basics Toslink Digital Optical Audio Cable, Multi-Channel, for Audio System, Sound Bar, Home Theatre, Gold-Plated Connectors, 6 Foot, Black - avedio links 4K HDMI Audio Extractor Splitter, 1080P HDMI to HDMI Audio Converter + Optical Toslink SPDIF + L/R Stereo Analog Audio, HDMI Audio Adapter for Fire Stick, Blu-Ray Player (4K 30Hz Black) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/139602593-avedio-links-hdmi-switch-audio-extractor-hdmi-switch-splitter-2](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/139602593-avedio-links-hdmi-switch-audio-extractor-hdmi-switch-splitter-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
