Product Overview
The J-Tech Digital JTDAT5CH Full HD 1080P audio extractor allows you to extract audio via an incoming HDMI signal, and send it to an external sound system. The unit will pass the video to the intended display as desired. This device is perfect for users trying to use TV speakers along with headphones, or trying to send an audio signal to a legacy sound system that doesn't have the newer connection. Use the SPDIF Optical to send either 2CH or 5CH audio signal, or the RCA outputs to send 2CH audio signal to your sound system.
Please Note: If you are not able to get audio from either Optical or 3.5mm output ports, please check your input source audio settings and ensure that the audio output is set to either PCM (For 3.5mm output), or PCM, DTS, or Dolby Digital (For Optical output). If the input source device is outputting Dolby Digital+ (DD+) or higher audio format, the extractor will not pass audio through the audio output ports.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Then during the Superbowl the signal dropped 4-5 times, so I decided to start swapping things out one at a time to try to isolate and fix the problem. I figured realistically it was either the splitter or the cables, but the cables are in the wall and the splitter isn't. So I bought this. And it's run perfectly. Not a single interruption in the signal!
The audio quality is fantastic and there's no odd sounds that come from it unlike the $8 one I got the Amazon that would make my speakers pop very loudly every time they got turned on by the audio extractor.
-Original setup of equipment: Roku via HDMI to 2009 model Panasonic plasma TV. TV to Sony receiver capable of decoding up to 5.1 Dolby or DTS audio, via optical cable.
-Roku reports best available audio is PCM stereo, and that's what comes out of the receiver.
-New setup of equipment: Roku via HDMI to extractor. Switch on extractor set to 5.1. Extractor to TV via HDMI. Extractor to receiver via optical cable.
-Roku reports all surround options now available: Dolby Digital/Digital Plus, and DTS. I can select Auto/Dolby/DTS for streaming format, and can further select Auto/Dolby Digital/Dolby Digital Plus/DTS for surround format.
-Trying all combinations in the two menus (excluding DD+ because it is known only formats up to 5.1 are supported via optical), the receiver does not see anything better than two channel PCM. The decoding light on the receiver does not illuminate, implying that the Roku is falling back to a "best available" scenario and delivering straight stereo.
-Apps tried: Netflix, Disney Plus, Paramount Plus
-Second setup of equipment: Fire TV Stick Lite via HDMI to 2009 model Panasonic plasma TV. TV to Sony receiver capable of decoding up to 5.1 Dolby or DTS audio, via optical cable.
(I'm trying the Fire TV because another review said it worked)
-Fire TV reports best available audio is PCM stereo, and that's what comes out of the receiver.
-New setup of equipment: Fire TV via HDMI to extractor. Switch on extractor set to 5.1. Extractor to TV via HDMI. Extractor to receiver via optical cable.
-Fire TV audio options now report Passthrough Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby Digital as options. I select Dolby Digital, because it is known that DD+ or formats with more than 5.1 channels of info will not work.
-Only HBO Max illuminates the decoding light on my receiver, indicating 5.1 channel audio is indeed being passed through. Other apps tried (Netflix, Prime Video) result in PCM stereo being delivered.
Here is the deal: If you're using this with a streaming device, it's down to the apps on that device as to whether you'll get 5.1 audio from this extractor. It's also likely that current generation streamers like the Roku and Fire TV I have do not have the ability to downmix multi-channel content greater than 5.1 channels into anything but stereo. I reckon that's one reason why they are so cheap. I don't know if HBO Max is "limited" and only delivers 5.1 audio and that's why it worked...or whether HBO Max senses the device it's delivering content to and adjusts the audio track accordingly. (I think it's the former) But it's clear to me the vast majority of streaming apps have moved on to Dolby Digital Plus or other formats that carry more than 5.1 channels, even if the content doesn't natively have that many channels. Because of that, this device, limited by its optical out jack, is not fit for (my) purpose.
Your mileage may vary, but I seriously doubt it.
This box can solve some connection issues that I have encountered. For instance, I have computer monitors that have HDMI in, but no audio out provision. Using this box, those monitors could be used as TVs for streaming devices, with sound bars or speakers hooked up to the L/R jacks or even the optical jack.
The device is cheap, and it is well constructed, but it doesn't deliver fully on its promises...at least, not anymore. When it was introduced, it was probably very useful, but streaming app technology has left it behind. So on my main rig with the Sony receiver, I will continue using Pro Logic II, to get more out of those two channel audio signals I'm limited to.
Used to split HDMI Audio/Video output of Sony BluRay player thru the J-Tech extractor:
Extractor HDMI out: to Denon A/V receiver
Extractor 3.5mm [1/8”] stereo audio out: to preamp inputs for HiFi system
All works as expected/hoping. My only real concern before purchasing was the audio quality of the extractor’s analog side 3.5mm output for my HiFi system. Listened to some very “strong” classical pieces for the numerous things I listen for when assessing audio…to my satisfaction the quality was there and found no flaw in the extractor. I couldn’t be more pleased.
The one negative thing I would have to say is its connections on opposite sides of unit. This makes it quite awkward to situate in or on top of an entertainment cabinet or similar layout.
