What is the difference between extraction mode and ARC mode?

In extraction mode the HDMI source goes into HDMI IN, video leaves through HDMI OUT to your display, and audio leaves through optical or 3.5mm. In ARC mode the TV's HDMI-ARC port connects to HDMI OUT (ARC) and the TV sends its audio back out through the extractor.

Does it support 4K at 60Hz?

Yes, up to 4K@60Hz over HDMI 2.0b, but only if the source, the display and the HDMI cables all support that format. A weaker cable or port will drop the signal.

Can I get 5.1 surround from it?

Only through the optical SPDIF output, which carries up to 5.1 channels. The 3.5mm AUX output is 2.0 stereo, so surround sound needs an optical connection to a compatible decoder.

Why do I get no sound?

Check the PASS/2.0/5.1 switch first and set it to match your audio device. Then confirm the device is on the correct input and, in ARC mode, that ARC is enabled in the TV's settings.

One HDMI audio extractor, one HDMI cable, one micro USB power cable and a user manual.

Does it switch between multiple HDMI sources?

No. It has a single HDMI input, so it extracts or returns audio for one source at a time rather than acting as an HDMI switcher.

Our take on the MIZUSO HDMI Audio Extractor 4K@60Hz ARC Converter

The MIZUSO is a small aluminum HDMI 2.0b audio extractor that splits one HDMI input into video plus separate audio. It runs in two modes: extraction, sending video to a TV or projector while audio goes out over optical SPDIF or 3.5mm AUX, and ARC, pulling sound back from a TV's HDMI-ARC port to those same outputs. Optical carries up to 5.1 channels and the 3.5mm jack carries stereo, with a PASS/2.0/5.1 switch to match your sound system. It suits people adding a soundbar, DAC, headphones or older receiver to a modern TV or console setup, and it is a plain splitter rather than an HDMI matrix or scaler.

Pros

Two outputs in one box: optical SPDIF for 5.1 and 3.5mm for stereo
ARC mode returns TV audio to an external sound device
PASS/2.0/5.1 switch lets you match the output to your gear
Aluminum housing, about 56 g, small enough to tuck behind a TV
Passes 4K@60Hz when source, display and cables all support it
Comes with an HDMI cable and USB power cable

Cons

4K@60Hz depends on every link in the chain supporting it
ARC needs the TV's ARC setting enabled and the right port used
No audio if the PASS/2.0/5.1 switch is set wrong
Optical is limited to 5.1 channels; the 3.5mm jack is stereo only
No HDMI inputs beyond one, so it cannot switch between sources

About the MIZUSO HDMI Audio Extractor 4K@60Hz ARC Converter

The MIZUSO HDMI audio extractor supports HDMI 2.0b at 4K@60Hz. In Audio Extraction mode, connect an HDMI source to HDMI IN and send video through HDMI OUT to a TV, monitor or projector. Audio is routed separately through Optical SPDIF or 3.5mm AUX, so you can connect an external sound system or headphones while video stays on your display.

In ARC mode, connect your TV's HDMI-ARC port to the extractor's HDMI OUT (ARC) port. Turn on ARC on both the TV and the extractor. The returned audio signal can then go to an Optical SPDIF device or a 3.5mm stereo device. A PASS / 2.0 / 5.1 switch sets the audio output mode to match your audio setup.

Optical SPDIF supports up to 5.1-channel audio. The 3.5mm output delivers 2.0-channel stereo. The housing is compact and made of aluminum alloy. Full 4K@60Hz requires a source device, display and HDMI cables that support this format. ARC requires a TV that supports HDMI-ARC with ARC turned on in its system settings. If there is no audio, check the PASS / 2.0 / 5.1 switch setting and make sure your audio device is set to the correct input source.
