The Hongwell HDMI Audio Splitter is a small powered box that pulls audio out of an HDMI signal while passing video through to a TV or monitor. It offers an optical SPDIF output and a 3.5mm stereo jack, with three modes: 5.1CH (optical only), 2CH (both outputs) and PASS (audio stays on HDMI). Video tops out at 4K×2K at 30Hz, so it suits older 1080p and 4K/30 setups, not 4K/60 consoles or HDR sources. Compared with 4K/60 extractors, it is simpler and cheaper in capability, and it needs its own 5V power.

This HDMI audio extractor pulls the audio out of an HDMI signal and passes the video on to a TV or monitor. It lets HDMI sources such as streaming sticks, game consoles and PCs connect to external speakers, headphones, a soundbar, an AV receiver or a DAC. Video passes through at up to 4K×2K@30Hz, and 1080P and 3D are supported.
Audio comes out through an optical SPDIF (Toslink) port and a 3.5mm stereo jack. A selector sets one of three modes. 5.1CH sends audio through the optical output only. 2CH sends audio through both the optical and 3.5mm outputs. PASS sends the audio through HDMI unchanged, so the TV or sound system must decode it.
To set it up, connect the HDMI source to HDMI IN on the extractor and HDMI OUT to the TV, then choose the audio mode. It is powered by DC 5V through a USB port or the included cable. It does not downmix 5.1 to 2.0, so select the correct mode manually. For Dolby Digital or DTS, the source must output bitstream, not PCM 5.1.
