Quite simply, it does NOT work!! Followed all the trouble shooting directions. Changed TV to PCM — nothing!! I am returning this and will try a HDM (ARC) to analog converter. Hopefully, this will work.

I had to return this because it made a horrible noise…

It does the job and easy to install. Size is perfect, so you easily hide behind the tv. Good quality for the price. Good appearance

Tv didn't have an aux output, my audio equipment needs 3.5mm aux input. Works, but I don't have full volume. I'd say I'm only getting about 60% volume.(Edit) after I posted my review the seller messaged me offering a full refund return. Awesome customer service, that's why the 5 starts.

Bought a small Behringer PA to hook up to a big, flat screen television at church and discovered that the TV doesn’t have RCA audio outputs on it. The TV does have a digital optical audio port on it, this little device makes the connection super easy. Be forewarned though, you get a digital optical cable to connect the TV, or whatever you’re using, to the converter. You also get a USB to micro USB cable to power the converter. What you don’t get is a power supply. Luckily I had a Samsung cell phone charger handy that puts out the required 5 volts. Add an RCA style cable to connect to your analog sound device and you’re set.

This box means I can still use my pioneer stereo from the 90s and mission speakers which have the best sound and plenty of base on my brand new Samsung 55" TV via the digital optical input.

The converter just works (always nice when expectations are met). I thought I had gotten a bad one but I needed to change the TV sound setting to have Optical out set to PCM and waalaa it worked!! Thanks.

Works perfectly. Does exactly what I want. I have it connected to my TV and speakers. Only thing is if I have sound on both devices there is a tiny bit of delay, so it sounds like an echo. So I either have to use TV sound or speaker sound but not both

Having used several types of these over the years, this one works....but, the output in very low. You have to have your amplifier or receiver to very close to max to bring this to a hearable level. Not the end of the orld but could be better.

I plugged this into the back of my Samsung tv with the output going to an old Yamaha surround amp. Every input going into the tv via HDMI and scart lead works brilliantly and I'm only using one input on my amp. A great well made product. I chose this model which came without the mains adaptor due to the power being supplied via my tv. I didn't want a cheap adaptor and if required I can purchase a decent one I know would be safe to use. Overall I cannot fault this product. Came with optical lead and usb lead. Very pleased

This converter actually works incredibly well, it does exactly as it's meant to do, convert a digital signal to an analog signal without any background noise or anything else otherwise detectable.It certainly wins bonus points for being one of the only converters with a micro usb port for power (I've used a small, blackberry charger with an output of 5V and 750mA and it works fine), and also having a built in 3.5mm port rather than just the left and right RCA audio channels.However, just two things I'd like to point out so anyone with specific needs may know. First of all, when i tried plugging in my 3.5mm aux cable, I heard a loud droning noise with partial audio coming through my connected speakers, which meant it had an improper plug in. I had to push it in with quite a bit of force that when i heard a loud click, I thought it broke, but then the audio came through perfectly with no background noise. It may have just been an overly tight holder, the piece that keeps the cable in place. But it's certainly concerning if you plan to constantly unplug and replug an aux cable. I'd suggest possibly having a dedicated cable for the converter.Secondly, the power on light, is actually rather bright, and can been seen through the RCA ports, and is noticeable at night.These are minor quirks, and certainly do not detract from the functionality of the converter.If you do not care for the aesthetics and the (presumably) strong 3.5mm outlet, then this is a great converter. Especially as I mentioned before, the micro usb outlet for power and the 3.5mm outlet.
