Review: Optical Solution for Apple TV - Apple TV 4K doesn’t come with an optical out. I wanted to play content in 5.1 Dolby. So I was thinking about wiring my receiver to the tv using the tv’s optical out. But then that would require changing the sound output on the TV from TV speakers to optical out. Then I would have to go through a bunch of settings to switch back and forth between tv speakers and optical depending on what I was watching. This U9 ViewHD Ultra HD 4K allowed me to bridge the HDMI Connection retain DolbyVision, and adds an optical out to my receiver. It was plug and play. I didn’t toggle the switch on the U9 ViewHD I left it as it came out of the box. Plugged in two 2.1 HDMI Belkin High Speed cables and also connected the optical cable to my receiver. Tuned my Apple TV to HBOMax and got 4K Dolby vision and Dolby Digital. The U9 ViewHD is made of high quality material. And it’s much smaller than it looks in the pictures. It’s small size is good to keep my setup looking minimal.
Review: Doesn't work as advertised - I saw so many reviews of people saying how well this works, pulling the audio stream out of a signal over HDMI and allowing it to be sent elsewhere via optical. Sounds great, until it doesn't work! I tried multiple configurations with this: 1) PC -> Extraction box -> TV & Receiver (Display Port to HDMI through active adapter) 2) PC -> Extraction box -> TV & Receiver (HDMI Port) 3) PC -> Extraction box -> Receiver (HDMI) +AND+ PC -> TV (separate HDMI) 4) PC -> Extraction box -> Receiver (Display port to HDMI through active adapter) +AND+ PC ->TV (HDMI) 5) PC -> Extraction box -> Receiver (HDMI) +AND+ PC ->TV (Display port to HDMI through active adapter) 6) Chromecast -> Extraction box -> TV and Receiver I have also attempted all of those configurations with the Audio Stream switch in all 3 positions. As you can clearly see in my screenshot, the device is recognized as a HDMI splitter and it absolutely does not recognize many of the audio stream formats that the listing claims, such as, "Supports HDMI high bit rate (HBR) Audio pass through Audio sample rates up to 192kHz." While my system recognizes that this device supports DTS, DD, and DD+, for whatever reason they still only get sent out as 2 channel streams. No matter what I do, my computer WILL NOT recognize this as anything more than 2 channel. I tried using a Chromecast to make sure it wasn't just my computer having an issue, but still no 5.1 channel audio. And yes, all of my drivers and software are up to date.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Update: UHAE2 No Dolby Vision. Cheaper than buying a new receiver
*by A***R on December 20, 2019*

Update: was so happy with the original VHD-UHAE (5.1 audio, 4k and Dolby Vision) I thought I would try the VHD-UHAE2 to get DTS ,7.1 etc. it said it would still have Dolby vision. Used the same hdmi cords as the VHD-UHAE and Dolby Vision did NOT work. Audio did output at DTS. Bought brand new hdmi cords cause That was their trouble shoot solution. Still didn’t work. Returned the UHAE2 and sticking with just the 5.1 original..... Wow, never thought this would actually work. I got a new 4K TV but my audio receiver was over eight years old. Doesn’t allow for 4K video to run do it. So instead I thought I would use my TVs optical out to go to the receiver. Huge audio issues with lag. Same with the fire stick. Thought I will try this before spending $400 on a new receiver. Turns out the investment was totally worth it. $40 versus 400, huge savings. Haven’t had a lot of success getting DTS to run through it but dolby digital is perfect.
