Can I use this to convert an HDMI output to analog audio output? I'm buying a TV with no audio output but it does have HDMI output.

This cable didn't work for me for connecting to a computer monitor without audio, but because some people can get this to work and some can't (like me), I'm not sure what the magic setup is.

Besides Ray's insight, realize the video will then be VGA in case you were hoping to have it come from a different source. I'm not sure if your audio player will have an input, but there is a good chance your tv has an optical audio output.

It works but be warned! The audio cuts out for about half a second every 5 minutes or so. This cable doesn't have a external power source so the cable relies solely on the output to feed its power source and usually it doesn't give enough which gives very low audio resolution with a tiny bit of static and noticeable audio loss. I recommend you try a different HDMI audio converter with an external power source for better results

This receiver won't cross-convert your HDMI input into the analog outputs; the receiver will only pass analog inputs to the analog outputs on the receiver, likewise with the HDMI input/output stage. Refer to p.100 of the manual for a graphic depicting the stages.

"If you had 2 outputs (usually they're composite outputs made for RCA jacks) a computer system like this would be useless with your TV."So if I have anything other than a headphone jack, I can't use this for TV speakers? How exactly do I listen to audio from video discs or tapes if I can't use the RCA jacks? Is the same true for HDMI connection of a Blu ray player to a TV?

No. This device takes VGA and analog audio, and converts it to HDMI. Not the other way.

Not sure why it would not be able to. The TV has both digital and analog audio connectors.

yes you can. if you don't have an optical or hdmi cable port on your tv, you can use the rca jacks for input/output

I use it to convert HDMI to analog for my apple TV as it is older and doesn't have HIM I input.

Unless you want your audio to go to a source other than your TV... like a 5.1 stereo setup. And in that case, you'll probably want to use the digital optical or digital coaxial audio output over RCA cables (unless your stereo doesn't support that).

This is the wrong product for you. You need a converter that goes the other way around, i.e. convert HDMI to analog RCA.

no you would still need a convertor to convert the analog vga signal to the hdmi digital signal, this cable cannot do it alone without a convertor or a very limited type of vga card that converts it for you

Sorry but no, this is a switcher, not a converter. Search on "HDMI to "Your TV's Connector (like coax, component)" converter"

As long as you have RCA jacks for your audio out on your TV, you can use this sound bar. There is no hdmi input on this sound bar, just RCA and Digital (optical) inputs. Hope this helps!

VGA is analog. HDMI is digital. So, no. You would need a converter between.

U need some kind of input signal to have a converted output signal. We get the input from our antenna. The only reason we use this gadget is because I busted the coaxial connection on the TV. Otherwise we would hook the antenna directly.

Yes, but the output will always be a single HDMI cable and not RCA or Component outputs. Also, be aware that the sound quality isn't good on the analog side, too much humming.

The output on this device is HDMI, so if your TV is so old it doesn't have an HDMI input, you'll need a different device than this one. That's kind of the point of this particular device: to let old devices (games/etc.) connect to new TVs. Not the other way around (new device, old TV).

No, you would have to buy the other one with the output being RCA and the input being hdmi. You would use this adapter for hooking up a hdmi only device to an older TV with no hdmi.
