Will this output hdmi and toslink simultanioues? Say I was sending the hdmi to the tv and the toslink to my headphones would it play audio thru both?

It seems to simply output to all the outputs at once. There is no way to select between them.

I think your hookup is bass ackwards. The audio should run via ARC or Audio Return Channel from your monitor to the Somy headphone. I believe this is done via Toslink.

This unit is pretty much just a switch. So, for me, I have several toslink-compatible components that are fed into this unit, then directly into my sound system. You should not have an issue with what you propose.

Yes, you can set hdmi to be the primary audio out regardless of how many other audio components you have. I've used this card and others on servers, desktops, and other odd computers and hdmi audio works great on all of them.

Found this on the MonoPrice site. "* The S/PDIF Optical (Toslink) and Digital Coax audio output formats are based on the HDMI audio output. If any of the sync devices (e.g., HDTV, Projector, etc.) connected to the output can only support stereo audio, then the S/PDIF Optical (Toslink) and Digital Coaxial outputs will be limited to PCM stereo audio."

Yes, TOSLINK in and out. No on the 76 channels. This is a two channel device.

Hi Kyle B., whether you use HDMI or an optical port, your TV will output sound for all your devices hooked up to the TV. In my case, I have XBox360, PS3, and a computer connected to my HDTV. As long as your TV is turned on, the sound bar will work for all the devices hooked up to the TV, which means if you turn off your TV, the sound bar will be automatically turned off as well. There is a small difference between HDMI and an optical port in terms of the quality of sound. I tried both and decided that I prefer an optical port, but it's highly likely that you might have a different opinion. Anyway, the sound bar is pretty cool. I've been using it for months by now and completely satisfied so far. I highly recommend it to you. Hope this helps!

You can use the audio out while connected to hdmi with no issue. We had it set up to some bose computer speakers while the hdmi was connected for video to the tv in Afghanistan for a while...no problems.

Dear Frank, Thanks so much for your inquiry. The Sony STRDH750 has Toslink inputs for computer audio, or any other device that you may own that offers a Toslink/Optical audio output! Please let me know if I can be of any additional assistance. Regards, Eric Cohen World Wide Stereo

I've used a few of these and yes, the audio is output in analog audio, digital -toslink- audio, and still retains the original HDMI audio as well.

I purchased this recently and can answer the audio output question - it is digital toslink only - there are a ton of digital to rca converters for $15 or so if this is a problem.

yeah but its just a monitor so there will be no sound coming from it. you have to use an external source for the sound. oh for the hdmi you can just buy a $5 adapter from walmart or some other place. disregard my last comment!

Hello, i'm not an sound expert, and i've never heard how an hdmi converter sounded like. I bought this because my television has a toslink sound output and i needed a converter for a very good Phillips speakers, with a 3,5 jack input. I recommend you read carefully the Product Descriptions of both products. Sorry i couldn't give you a better answer... Have a good year! Diogo Gomes

I have one of my hdmi outputs going to the receiver, then the receiver's output going to the TV. The audio passes along the hdmi.

Exactly. It wil pass the hdmi video signal to your monitor, while removing the audio signal from it. The audio signal is outputted as analog stereo, which then can be used for headphones if the impedance matches.

Yes, I do understand the concept. What I am saying is that, typically, older generation HDTVs will NOT be capable of splitting the HDMI audio through to the receiver. Instead, the receiver will be producing simulated surround sound. Yes, you will hear audio from all speakers, but no, it will not be true surround.

Hi jjang, Yes, it will output all the signal to HDMI OUT. Thanks. &gt;joffrey
