Hi all,
I have a Google Chromecast device with a single HDMI output which I want to use with a HDMI projector. Unfortunately the projector has no audio output and I have no way to get sound out of such system.
When I search for in-line HDMI Audio Extractors I only find tiny USB powered items at around 10USD range, but when I search for HDMI-VGA Converters (with audio output) I find self powered in-line adapters for about 2USD price range. Price is not important, but I don't want to complicate the setup with an extra power cable for the audio extractor.
Here are some questions:
- What is the difference?
- Why can't they build cheap and simple audio extractors without audio output?
- Can I re-purpose an audio capable in-line HDMI-VGA converter to HDMI audio extractor?
I am attaching two sample devices for reference.
K.
