I tried another brand and it split the video, but my audio driver would not recognize the hdmi as being plugged in. Would I do okay with yours?

I'd say it's worth a try. It sends both audio and video for me. It does glitch sometimes, but I have a work-around. I use it to split the signal from a 3x1 HDMI switch (Sat Receiver, Blu-ray player, and Roku box) to send it to two Coby HDTVs. I have a Redmere HDMI cable in one of the runs. This setup works--it sends both Video and Audio quite well. However... Sometimes (but not always) I have to turn my source off and then back on to get a proper HDMI handshake. Sometimes the initial handshake sends video, but not audio. Sometimes it works perfectly on the first attempt. But the second attempt (when needed) always works. It's kind of weird...

I connect the HDMI output on my computer to the J-Tech and send one output to my receiver and the other to my TV. Works for me. Switch back and forth generally w/o any problems. Very rarely I have to reset the switch by just unplugging and replugging the HDMI cord from my computer. The HDMI output on my computer does not transmit sound, so I can't comment on this aspect. I use the computers' coax and optical outputs for audio.

Theoretically you could add the splitter as it should fit. I just do not know if splitting the power output from the HDMI cable will lead to an unacceptably short emitter range for your needs.Also, contrary to the previous person's situation my installation has been working perfectly for 6 months and I am using a 25 foot HDMI cable.

I would only use this one if your using low quality as its only av, if you are using 720 or higher 1080 then u need to spend a bit more like I did and get the better Orei hdmi to hdmi converter, it works really well.

With an HDMI connection, you should not need a separate audio connect. Unless I'm mistaken, you should have HDMI on both units.

I actually use an hdmi to component splitter in my setups with this projector, so that hasn't been an issue for me. Could also split off the HDMI to a stereo that accepts it if you have an hdmi splitter.

Well I have had No Trouble with mine, I used an HDMI Cable that carries the sound quite well as well as Video.

HDMI carries sound, audio cable not being switched. You need your audio to come from HDMI input.

I had the same problem when I used a splitter. If it was hooked up directly it was fine. I returned the splitter.

Can't help you I don't use one of these splitters. I use 1 in and 4 out from my laptop to 4 TVs I also use a 4 in and 2 out with audio extractor Both had to be programed with my CP to work properly.

I've used the power adapter from the get-go (most HDMI switchers work like crap w/o a dedicated power supply) and have various HDMI cable lengths (from 2 meters to 5 meters) and brands attached. I haven't experienced a problem. So I suggest you get the adapter.

It would be preferred. Since it's left and right audio. So if you don't have it then where ever you play the video you may only get sound from one side and it would sound off. You can pick up new cable really really cheap from amazon or monoprice.com like only $3.

You need a splitter. Support/warranty is dubious. Mine 'failed' and I could not return it under warranty. Known issue with cutting out randomly.

Yes. This is the same way I use the device. I don't use it for video. I use several different audio sources connected through this splitter then out to one set of powered speakers. Works fine.

I highly doubt this will solve the issue, since what it does is only to convert HD quality from the HDMI to RCA, this sounds more like the cable doesn't work or you need another type of HDMI cable with more capacity, I would recommend going to radio shack

Yes, but this only splits the video signals. You will still need to split the audio.

Thanks for your input...I think I'll just keep my HDMI connection for now though.Have a blessed day sir....

I use this only for video and works well. In your case maybe is better something like this: Audio Video Distribution Amplifier RCA Video Splitter Video Composite Signal Amp 1 Input to 4 Outputs Uninex Vs-23
