Analog to Digital Audio Converter, Hdiwousp RCA R/L or 3.5mm Jack AUX to Digital Coaxial Toslink Optical SPDIF Audio Adapter for PS4 Xbox HDTV DVD Headphone (Aluminum)

This is a great device for anyone who needs to connect equipment that only has a 3.5mm audio output. I bought it to connect my projector, which doesn’t have an optical audio port, and it worked perfectly for that purpose.One tip to keep in mind, this might be obvious to some people, but it wasn’t to me: use a short 3.5mm cable and a long Toslink cable, not the other way around. At first, I tried using a long 3.5mm cable and a short Toslink cable to connect to my soundbar, and the audio was very distorted and almost unusable. I actually thought the device was defective.Then I reversed the setup, using a short 3.5mm cable and a longer Toslink cable to the soundbar, and the sound quality improved dramatically. Compared to running a 3.5mm cable straight from the projector to the soundbar, this converter produces much clearer, cleaner audio and eliminates a lot of the buzzing noise you sometimes get when no sound is playing.If you have a projector like the Epson Home Cinema 2150, which only has a 3.5mm audio output, and you want to enjoy digital audio without annoying background noise, I highly recommend this device. It’s definitely worth the price.

Great for now. Nice and easy to set up. Very straight forward. Couldn't notice a drop in sound quality of my Bose lifestyle 38 surround sound system which I had for more than a decade and a half. Will tell if am disappointed in the near future. Hopefully not...

UPDATE: After experiencing some unsatisfactory results with my W11 upgrade, I decided to roll back to 10. The volume is back to 2 bars just like it was with 8.1, so I added a 5th star to this review.After "upgrading" to newer hardware, I was missing my Dolby surround sound card that fed my Logitech Z-5500 for the last 20 years or so. The newer PC I migrated to only has a 3.5mm external jack, so there's no way I could plug directly into the Logitech. This adapter seems to work just fine, and since I no longer use my PC as a HTPC, I won't miss the surround setup at all. I do believe that there's some loss of volume though in the transition from analog to digital, as previously 2 bars on the Logitech display was plenty loud enough. With this adapter, I have to have it set a 4 to get the equivalent volume, even with Windows set at it's max.

Tried to connect Epson projector which has only Aux output for sound to Bose smart ultra soundbar which accepts optical input, But i could not get this to work at all. Tried every single thing i could , but it did not work. I finally ended up buying another product Audio extractor splitter which worked. Will be returning this

Terrible sound quality. I have a soundbar which works very well with my TV and a turntable that sounds excellent with other speakers. When I connect the turntable to the soundbar using this converter there is a lot of noise and I have immediately returned the converter. I recommend you do not buy it.

I needed something to convert an analog signal from my computer to an optical signal for my sound bar. The sound bar only comes on automatically when there is an optical input. this device does what it says it will do. My only complaint is the cords provided (optical cable and ac cord) are pretty short which limits your options for where you want to place the device.

iPod sounds like vinyl almost

Sonos only has a handful of products that utilize aux in plugs so that you can connect devices, like the Play 5. I have a Playbar and wanted to find out how to connect my old 1973 turntable to my playbar and take advantage of the sub, rears, and everything my Sonos system has. After scouring Reddit, I came across this device, which runs an aux cord through this adapter from the turntable, and runs an optical cord out of this device to the Playbar. There is a slight delay in sound from when the needle hits the turntable, but overall it's a good, quick, cheap workaround. I dont know how this compares to official Sonos products compatible with Aux cords in terms of sound quality, but this is a decent solution.
