Review on 🔊 gofanco HDMI 1.4 Audio Extractor Converter - HDMI to Optical Toslink, Digital Coaxial, and 3.5mm Stereo Audio Extractor - 4K 60Hz YUV 4:2:0, HDCP 1.4, HDMI Repeater with EDID - (HDAudExt14) by Ryan Rea

I couldn't find any information on whether this unit would work with the HDMI ARC connector so I ordered it. Unfortunately, while it works when you put it between the player/cable and the TV, it doesn't work when powered only through the HDMI ARC connector. I even got dummy HDMI dongles but they didn't activate the device either. This is a good device if you only have one source you want to intercept, but I don't see how you can do this with multiple players and set top boxes. YMMV and thanks for reading.
