OREI eARC 4K 60Hz Dolby Atmos Audio Extractor Switch with 3 Inputs - Connect ARC/eARC Soundbar. HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 Compliant - CEC Pass Through - HDR, Dolby Vision Supported (HDA-934)

For context: I previously tried to use the UHDS-401A as a switch and eARC emulator/extractor and it _almost_ worked. I am using a Sonos Beam with this and my display is a generic HP monitor with no advertised audio features. So, not only does my display NOT have eARC it doesn't even accept audio signals as is reflected in its EDID. When I setup the UHDS-401A, it was able to emulate the ARC/eARC signal back to my sonos beam from one of my inputs by enabling EDID emulation to force 2.0/5.1 mode. This made my HP monitor "look" like it could accept audio from the perspective of my input devices, but what it really did was put an audio signal on the wire that the eARC emulation could pick up and redirect back to my sonos beam on input 1. The problem with the UHDS-401A, was the audio was cutting out every few seconds and made the solution unusable. I heard better things about this HDA-934 (the product this review is for) and ordered it as a replacement. The Result: Finally! The HDA-934 is appropriately emulating eARC and sending audio back out input 1 as long as I have the EDID mode set to 2.0 or 5.1 and enable eARC on the switch. My HP monitor is none the wiser and my Sonos Beam is playing audio without any interruptions!

Failed to work with Sonos Arc and Putrims K12 projector. Followed instructions by using Xbox, but no sound. Called customer service, who walked through my setup with me and then said they need to send it to technical support and I would receive an email within 24hrs I did receive an email asking to share how I had it set up and was asked to turn eARC switch on and off and see if that works. I did that and responded that it didn’t work. “Crickets” from them even though I sent 2 more follow up emails asking them to please respond. 1 week later I received a response apologizing for the delay and it was do to them “looking at it internally” they also asked for me to send copy of invoice. By then I had already returned item for a refund. Poor customer service. Ain’t nobody got time for that!

I was trying to find an alternative for the HDFury Arcana, specifically because my setup was also going to also require an HDMI switcher. I wasn't sure if this was going to do the trick, because none of the reviews called it out very clearly and the instruction guide wasn't very clear on Scenario three, which is the setup I was going for. My setup is as follows: Projector: Epson 3800 Soundbar: Sonos Arc Inputs: Fire Cube Gen 2, Steamdeck The project does not have an eARC connection, and even if it did, it's a 35 ft run through a conduit so a run there and back for all the decides just wouldn't work out. I recieved this, hooked it up as follows: Input 1: Output to Soundbar (a little counter intuitive, I know, but the instruction manual says to do it) Input 2: Fire Cube Input 3: Steamdeck from dock Output: Projector EDID Toggle: Auto eArc Toggle: Enabled To my excitement, everything fired up right away, and I was able to select the Fire Cube from input 2, have video out the projector, and audio coming out my Sonos. Just having it functional was a delight. Then fired up the Fire Cube Audio and Video diagnostics and was surprised to see the Dolby Atmos as supported. That was way easier then I expected. Then played the Dolby Atmos sample content from the Fire Cube and was blown away. Will continue to use it and provide additional feedback, but was very excited that it worked right out of the box without any fiddling, including Dolby Atmos!

Product works perfectly and their tech support team was really responive. I'm getting dolby atmos audio from all my devices with this switch.

Used this for the eArc on my 2015 Samsung wi8th the Sonos Arc. Works well with just 1 input. I'm using a Roku. CEC also working. Tried plugging in a Fire stick and the CEC stopped working. Unplugged and reset power, CEC working again with Roku. I've played a couple movies in Netflix and get that sweet Dolby Atmos. Main problem is using the Sonos app. It is now slow to load and find my system. I try and make settings changes and it takes multiple attempts, keeps going back to the previous setting. Getting Dolby Atmos out of my Sonos system is worth that small headache. *Edit: The problems with the Sonos app seemed to have subsided. Hopefully stay that way.

We have a 2019 82” TV that I don’t want to let go yet as it still functions except for e-Arc capability, Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision. I was hoping that this device will remedy what features are missing in my TV but unfortunately this is not it. Upon setup and following the instructions, I connected my PS5 after my Sonos ARC. After turning on my PS5 then TV, the TV keeps flickering continuously and will not stop. I tried the usual power cycling and cable checks but to no avail. I used 4k & 8k high quality hdmi cables between connections and it didn’t solve the issue. The only thing that worked on this device is the audio as I noticed no issues during troubleshooting with my PS5 (using remote play to make sure the issue is not due to the console/cables etc.). In the end this device is defective and I’m returning it. Looks like I’ll be looking for another brand that hopefully is compatible with devices that I have in my home.

I have been using this product for the past 3 weeks and it’s a great hdmi splitter. I have used others before that did not work. This one runs my soundbar, game system and dvd player to the tv. I can run the game system and the dvd player through my soundbar. It’s great for the price.

My projector has no ARC support whatsoever. This device IS able to initiate the ARC and send it back on input 1. (The PS5/Xbox audio to a HomePod problem) The cheaper switches I tried are all just "pass through" expecting the TV to do the initial ARC work.

Despues de probar como 5 o 6 marcas por fin encontré un equipo capas de extraer audio y que sea compatible con barras de sonido Sonos, lo recomiendo ampliamente.

Vraiment super

Got it on time, there is no review of HDA 934 on youtube, so it is my own decision to buy it by relying on advertised details, My doubts before buying were :- 1, as it supports 5.1 and 7.1 dolby atmos audio, but i have 5.2.4 setup, so it works well on it, even top firing speakers working well. 2, it have a remote with it, thats good but i felt that averytime i turn on it needs to be setup by remote about channels and input, but once you set your preference ut remembers so no need of remote I am using it with 3D DLP projector and it supports it, also its a all in one audio extractor cum hdmi switcher with very sleek and strudy form factor, One thing to mention that my TV with eARC support never gives DTS X support on DC movies but Orei HDA 934 keeps decoding all audio formats effortlessly with no lag and no lip sync delay, And the best part is its auto switching and cable management, especially for projector, even it supports CEC and universal remote feature with dolby atmos on jio setup box.

No sirve correctamente, el volumen se sube y se baja solo hasta 100 o 0

The product Orei hda 934 is working fine, i connected it with my projector, soundbar and firestick, soundbar arc is working good, now my netflix and other apps shows 5.1 audio supported on movies.
