Well thought out and high quality device that can save you a lot of money on a new AVR.

After purchasing my new LG C4, I was faced with the problem that although the LG can utilize the full gaming features (4K@120Hz) of the XBOX Series X and PS5 with HDMI 2.1 and can also pass on uncompressed Dolby Atmos from the XBOX via eARC, my Onkyo TX-NR696 cannot record this uncompressed audio signal via ARC (only the compressed DD+ signal).

With the AX211, I can now avoid this problem without having to spend a four-figure sum on a new AVR.

The XBOX, the PS5 and an Apple TV 4K are now connected to the LG TV (the XBox via the AX211 as described in the product description), and a Switch and Blu Ray player are also connected to the Onkyo.

With eARC mode enabled, the AX211 reliably detects where the sound is coming from and forwards it. The Onkyo, in turn, forwards the picture and outputs the audio from the devices connected to it.

But this only works reliably if I switch off ARC on the Onkyo and connect the HDMI output to the LG TV not to the MAIN (ARC) on the Onkyo but rather to the SUB/ZONE 2 or alternatively simply do without CEC altogether.

Previously, my AVR was always stuck in a continuous loop and constantly switched sources when I had several active.
But now CEC is working perfectly for me again.

Thanks to FeinTech for this ingenious solution to get the full potential out of a setup that you want to upgrade with a new TV from time to time.

Very helpful product

After briefly using the AX110 (see AX110 review -> very good product), I decided to try the AX211 and was finally able to solve my problem with the eARC function. The 12-meter distance between the LG C4 and Denon X4800H didn't allow eARC. With the AX211, it works very well. My devices are wired as follows:
1.) LG C4 HDMI IN 2 (eARC) -> AX211 HDMI OUT TV (eARC)
2.) Denon X4800H HDMI OUT (eARC) -> AX211 HDMI IN Source
3.) AX211 HDMI AUDIO OUT Amp -> Denon X4800H HDMI IN 4.
Important: Switch off HDMI CEC on the receiver, otherwise the sound will not be heard immediately (only after deactivating or reactivating the eARC function on the TV).

Very good HDMI 2.1 HD audio extractor

The HDMI 2.1 HD Audio Extractor AX211 from FeinTech is a "super device" and ideal for use with, for example, the latest generation Apple TV 4K with HDR10+ settings.
In conjunction with a THX-certified OLED panel from Panasonic via the HDMI TV output of the AX211 and my HDMI AV amplifier DSP-Z7 from Yamaha via the HDMI audio output, there are no complaints.
While other devices of this type experienced audio dropouts when using the HDR10+ setting, the AX211 works very stably and reliably. Simply fantastic!

It actually works!

So you're stuck with a 4K / 120Hz / G-Sync / VRR / HDR capable TV but your older high-end hifi AV receiver doesn't support these things? If you ask HiFi stores, they'll try to sell you a new AV receiver.

Well no more. You can just buy this thing, and it works! I finally can enjoy my 5.1 / 7.1 audio on my PC (connected to TV) AND have 4k 120Hz HDR & G-Sync enabled. I'm beyond excited. This device works flawlessly and it works instantly.

Be sure to set the 3 switches on the front correctly to match your setup! If you want 5.1 audio on PC from video games, you need to put it on 000!

Thank you FeinTech for saving me a lot of money buying a new AV receiver.

Works as expected.

I purchased the audio extractor to continue using my old, non-HDMI 2.1-capable AV amplifier while still enjoying 4K 120 Hz and other benefits of HDMI 2.1. The extractor performs these tasks to my satisfaction.
I encountered two minor issues. First, my old 3m HDMI cable only produced a black image at 4K 120Hz, but it worked when connected directly from the PC to the TV. I ordered a 3m cable from FeinTech that solved the problem.
Secondly, my amplifier no longer goes into standby mode with the other devices, so now when I watch a film to fall asleep, I set the timer in the amplifier.
Nothing earth-shattering, can only recommend the audio extractor.

Dieser HDMI 2.1-Audioextraktor liefert 4K 120 Hz und Dolby Atmos und verlängert so die Lebensdauer älterer AV-Receiver. Die Kunden lobten die solide Konstruktion, die einfache Bedienung und den geringen Stromverbrauch. Es „funktioniert einwandfrei“ mit Spielekonsolen und PCs. Zu den kleineren Problemen gehören gelegentliche eARC-Standby-Störungen und CEC-Konflikte, die in der Regel durch Firmware-Updates oder Einstellungsanpassungen behoben werden.

Finally a system what works

Great product

Its a great product, and it works like it should. I first had some problems with hdr to sdr switching on my google tv streamer, however, that was gone after a firmware update, to which they had kindly send me a link. now it just works. I got dolby digital 5.1 to my denon avr 1312, and 4k hdr to my monitor.

A Helpful Device to Make an AV Receiver Last Longer

Works as described with the bandwidth to deliver 4K 120Hz and Dolby Atmos. After trying a cheaper splitter from another company which was limited to HDMI 2.0, I can say that from a PC with AMD 7800XT to my older Onkyo TX-NR636 (Atmos) & Samsung 4K 120Hz TV, this splitter succeeds in the HDMI 2.1 capabilities that I was after.

PC games work with low latency 5.1 surround sound via the appropriate EDID settings and 4K HDR films and TV are output well via the alternative EDID for Atmos, in addition to the eARC output from the TV to the ARC-capable Onkyo receiver. Atmos output from games may work too, but the true Atmos output titles on PC are limited and untested for me. CEC works too The only gripe is that after turning the TV and receiver back on, the eARC output from the TV to the receiver gets stuck in PCM mode and not Dolby Digital output - something that is amended by unplugging all plugs to the splitter, then plugging all back in. I rack this up to the strange workings of eARC and ARC, rather than a shortcoming of the AX211, and am still happy with the splitter overall. Perhaps a future firmware update would help here.

I recommend the AX211 to increase the life of an older but still very capable AV receiver to match more modern TVs and entertainment sources while reducing negative impact/waste to the environment.

Perfekt

Ich nutze es mit einem Denon AVR 3313 und Samsung U55 (ca. 2017). Funktioniert perfekt mit Linux und Nintendo Switch 2.

Solide Konstruktion, extrem einfache Bedienung, kaum Stromverbrauch.

Kontakt mit dem Support (Fehlkauf meinerseits) war schnell und direkt. Große Empfehlung!

Bisher top

aktuell läuft es und tut genau das, was es soll.

Für meine Zwecke Super Produkt

Sehr gute Kommunikation und Beratung, schnelle Abwicklung.
Sehr gerne wieder.

Durchdachtes und hochwertiges Gerät was einem eine Menge Geld für einen neuen AVR sparen kann.

Ich stand nach dem Kauf meines neuen LG C4‘s vor dem Problem, dass der LG zwar mit HDMI 2.1 die vollen Gaming Features (4K@120Hz) der XBOX Series X und PS5 ausreizen kann und über eARC auch unkomprimiertes Dolby Atmos von der XBOX weiterleiten kann, aber mein Onkyo TX-NR696 dieses unkomprimierte Audiosignal über ARC nicht aufnehmen kann (nur das komprimierte DD+ Signal).

Mit dem AX211 kann ich dieses Problem nun umgehen ohne mir für einen vierstelligen Betrag einen neuen AVR zu besorgen.

An dem LG TV sind jetzt die XBOX, die PS5 und ein Apple TV 4K angeschlossen (die XBox über den AX211 wie in der Produktbeschreibung beschrieben), am Onkyo sind noch eine Switch und Blu Ray Player angeschlossen.

Der AX211 erkennt bei eingeschaltetem eARC-Modus zuverlässig wo der Ton herkommt und leitet ihn weiter. Der Onkyo wiederum leitet das Bild weiter und gibt das Audio der an ihn angeschlossenen Geräte aus.

Das aber auch nur zuverlässig wenn ich ARC am Onkyo ausschalte und den HDMI Ausgang zum LG TV nicht am MAIN (ARC) vom Onkyo anschließe sondern lieber am SUB/ZONE 2 oder alternativ einfach komplett auf CEC verzichte.

Vorher war der AVR bei mir immer wieder in einer Dauerschleife gefangen und hat die Quellen permanent umgeschaltet wenn ich mehrere aktiv hatte.
Aber so funktioniert jetzt auch CEC wieder einwandfrei bei mir.

Danke an FeinTech für diese ausgeklügelte Lösung um das volle Potential aus einem Set Up rauszuholen was man zwischendurch mal mit einem neuen TV upgraden will.

Sehr hilfreiches Produkt

Nach kurzem Einsatz des AX110 (siehe Bewertung AX110 -> sehr gutes Produkt) habe ich mich für den AX211 entschieden und konnte endlich mein Problem mit der eARC Funktion lösen. Die Strecke von 12 Metern zwischen dem LG C4 und Denon X4800H hat kein eARC zugelassen. Mit dem AX211 funktioniert das sehr gut. Verkabelung meiner Geräte wie folgt:
1.) LG C4 HDMI IN 2 (eARC) -> AX211 HDMI OUT TV (eARC)
2.) Denon X4800H HDMI OUT (eARC) -> AX211 HDMI IN Source
3.) AX211 HDMI AUDIO OUT Amp -> Denon X4800H HDMI IN 4.
Wichtig: HDMI CEC beim Receiver abschalten, ansonsten ist der Ton nicht sofort zu hören (erst nach dem Deaktivieren bzw. Reaktivieren der eARC Funktion am TV).

Sehr guter HDMI 2.1 HD Audio-Extractor

Der HDMI 2.1 HD Audio Extractor AX211 von FeinTech ist ein „Super Gerät“ und für die Nutzung z. B. von Apple TV 4K der letzten Generation bei Einstellung HDR10+ spitzenmäßig.
In Verbindung mit einem THX zertifizierten OLED-Panel von Panasonic über den HDMI TV-Ausgang des AX211 und meinem HDMI AV Amplifier DSP-Z7 von Yamaha über den HDMI-Audio-Ausgang gibt es keine Beanstandungen.
Während es bei anderen Geräten dieser Art zu Tonaussetzern bei der Einstellung HDR10+ kam, arbeitet der AX211 sehr stabil und zuverlässig. Einfach Klasse!!

It actually works!

So you're stuck with an 4K / 120Hz / G-Sync / VRR / HDR capable TV but your older high-end hifi AV receiver doesn't support these things? If you ask HiFi stores, they'll try to sell you a new AV receiver.

Be sure to set the 3 switches on the front correctly to match your setup! If you want 5.1 audio on PC from video games, you need to put it on 000!

Thank you FeinTech for saving me a lot of money buying a new AV receiver.

Funktioniert wie erwartet.

Gekauft habe ich den Audio Extractor um meinen alten, nicht hdmi 2.1 fähigen, AV Verstärker weiterzubenutzen und gleichzeitig nicht auf 4K 120 hz und andere Vorzüge von hdmi 2.1 zu verzichten. Der Extractor erfüllt diese Aufgaben zu meiner Zufriedenheit.
Auf zwei kleine Probleme bin ich gestoßen. Zum einen lieferte mein altes 3m hdmi Kabel bei 4K 120hz nur ein schwarzes Bild, funktionierte allerdings bei direkter Verbindung von PC zum TV. Gelöst durch ein mitbestelltes 3m Kabel von FeinTech.
Zum anderen geht mein Verstärker nicht mehr zusammen mit den anderen Geräten auf standby, so daß ich jetzt, wenn ich zum einschlafen einen Film schaue, den Timer im Verstärkers einstelle.
Nichts weltbewegendes, kann den Audio Extractor nur weiterempfehlen.

Hi 👋🏻😁
If I use it with an PC or an Xbox and enable Dolby Atmos, but my AVR does not support Atmos/MAT, will the AX-211 convert MAT to multichannel PCM automatically?
Or does the AVR still receive MAT and stay silent?
Thanks!

FeinTech

No typical audio extractor converts audio formats. And you can't play Atmos if your AVR doesn't has an Atmos Decoder and Renderer. You could force the player to output Atmos if you use AX211. But the AVR stays mute then. So I am afraid there's no possibility to retrofit Atmos.

Hi, my TV is a Samsung Q77T from 2019/2020, the first ones with eARC compatible with ATMOS. I’ve noticed that detecting Atmos can be a bit hit-or-miss. Sometimes my AVR switches to Dolby Digital only, instead of Dolby Digital Plus (which enables Atmos), and it seems like the TV isn’t recognizing it properly. Is there some solution?

FeinTech

If you are using an external player, you could use the AX211 to send content with Atmos to the sound system. Then the television only has to display video and does not need to forward any audio.

Hello, my setup consists of a Samsung Q930D soundbar alongside a Samsung TV, Apple TV and a PS5. I also use the PS5 as a blu-ray and 4K player. The soundbar can decode both Dolby and DTS bitstreams when the PS5 is connected to its passthrough but I lose 120Hz output, the TV can only pass Dolby bitstreams through eArc when the PS5 is directly connected. The LPCM transcode that is passed through when watching DTS-HD MA movies directly plugged into the TV is for some reason more quiet and thin sounding than the DTS bitstream decoded by the soundbar when connected directly to it. Can I use the AX211 to pass Dolby or DTS bitstream directly from the ps5 to the soundbar, while also having eArc from the TV/Apple TV on the same cable? Also, what would be the correct EDID setting, 111? Thank you.

FeinTech

Yes, you can use the AX211 here and bypass the soundbar's limitations. You can use 120Hz and VRR for gaming if your TV supports it. Also, you can play DTS-HD from PS5 bluray. The sound of TV's apps and of a directly connected Apple TV can also be played via the soundbar. Recommended EDID setting is "000".

3 questions:

If I want to use this device like the Sharc V2 or the VAX01202 (ie as an eArc extractor only), where the source device (like a game console) is connected to the TV, and the AX211 sits between the TV’s eArc and the AVR/Soundbar, and you can use it with AVR’s that do not support eArc?

Second question:
When used as an HDMI Splitter (Xbox connected to AX211, with an output to the AVR/Soundbar and another output to the TV). Can it pass DTS:X from my Xbox to my AVR even if the TV doesn’t support DTS passthrough (like with 2019-2022 LG OLEDs)?

Third Question:
Can this pass proper Freesync handshaking when used as an HDMI Splitter from AMD GPU’s or Xbox consoles, or will it revert to generic HDMI 2.1 Forum VRR? On my LG OLEDs it will indicate in the VRR menu HDMI VRR, Gsync or Freesync, as well as the LG’s Gamebar. Will it allow for proper handshaking of the different VRR variants?

FeinTech

Yes, you can extract eARC from the TV and output it to a regular HDMI input of the AVR. It also support DTS-X audio from an Xbox when it is connected to the AX211's input. This is independent from the TV's audio format support. The AX211 supports VRR according to HDMI 2.1 specs and works fine with PlayStation PS5 and Xbox. It has not been extensively tested with proprietary formats of computer graphic cards. It is likely that it works if the graphic card has an HDMI output and not only DisplayPort. However, it can't be guaranteed.

Hello, what is the difference between ax211 and ax310? I noticed that in the description one is for soundbars and other for receivers, but other than that I could not find any technical differences. I currently have an ax211 and I was planning to use it with Sonos soundbar, is there something I will be missing out on compared to ax310?

FeinTech

The AX211 is compatible with HDMI Input ports. The AX310 is made for HDMI eARC/ARC-ports. If you want to connect the Sonos soundbar you'll need the AX310 as the Sonos soundbars come only with one HDMI eARC-port.
