Does audio travel through the HDMI input through to the speakers? How well does it work? I want to use my Roku 3 with my projector.

Yes it does...but beware- there is a delay of about 20-30 seconds, so you sit in silence as characters mouth words until the sound comes on.

yes it has an hdmi pass through so it pulls out just the sound and passes the video on. it has 3 hdmi inputs and 1 hdmi output. it works well, its definitely not a kick ass high quality sound system but for the money you cant beat it. if you just want to get sound all around you then its perfect. if you want to sound like your at the movies then this isnt the one for you.

Mine registers my wii and dvd player well. I don't know about speakers alone, my surround sound is connected differently. I have to unplug the power cable for the little white box and replug it back in each time i want to use it, for some reason it wont register if i dont. But i have never had connection problems besides that. I have a vizio smart led tv and i connected the box to a hdmi cable and then to the tv. For the price its a decent find. If the price ever goes up though I wouldn't buy since i do have to replug it every time i use it.

I have used this adapter only for video data - to display what was on my computer screen on the projection screen. There was no audio data included in my projection. That said, I would check all the usual suspects - are all the cables secure? - are the speakers connected? - are the speakers on? - is the sound card ok? Is the mini HDMI-HDMI converter ok? After checking that all the mechanical pieces are right, I'd reboot everything and try again. I hope this helps. Best regards, TNF

that was my experience; somewhere in the literature in fact says that if you use HDMI or Digital Optical cable, that you have to use the audio cable out as well (defeats the purpose of the HDMI or Digital Optical cable IMO), however it works well with that set-up

I had to use a separate audio cable when I connected the HDMI and I don't know if that was a symptom of the projector that I was using or the cable. I'll test the cable on another TV to see if that works and amend this response.

Mine is sitting in the junk room. Most of the time the audio came through just fine for me. My issues was that sometimes the audio was so far out of sync it wasn't even watchable. It's a great concept, but a total POS in reality. Like Clayton said, try updating the drivers and see if that helps. I gave up on mine though. A 15' HDMI cable is cheaper and way more reliable.

Yes, just connect your ROKU to one of the inputs. On a ROKU 3 this would be hdmi.

You can hook up a cable box and watch tv through it. The best choice would be HDMI but there are several options if you look at the input options of the projector (composite video s-video and a vga hook up I think (for computers). I never used the speaker but from what I remember, it worked if I didn't have the audio going somewhere else. Try hooking up audio only and see if you can hear anything. HDMI usually carries the audio as well (unless you have it hooked up through a receiver and assigned to other speakers). You could try hooking up your cable box or ps3 etc directly to the projector to see if you hear audio from the speaker.

Mine does output audio just fine over HDMI. Conveniently, when I use the Catalyst Control Center shortcut to switch to that output, it also switches my primary audio device from my main sound card to the HDMI audio device.I haven't tested the 30Hz vs 60Hz issue mentioned by Voodoo1226, but that could very well be a function of his/her tv/monitor rather the the graphics card's output.

I play my projector thru my computer. My computer is capable of surround sound. I just tell it to pump the sound out thru the computer instead of the hdmi.

There is a USB and a LAN port for input only. NO HDMI input. There IS an HDMI output port and component output as well as audio L/R output. So, no pass through. It will output audio on the HDMI cable though if you are playing a movie from the USB or from your LAN. Be warned though that this unit WILL pause if you are trying to play NETFLIX HDMI streaming video.

No HDMI also carries audio. You could invest in an optical for higher quality audio but that may by overkill for most.

HDMI sends sound to monitor and mine has internal speakers, so it works that way. USB speakers work fine, if you don't have that kind of monitor

Very tough call to make. I can't comment on the Yamaha 465 as I haven't used it. I've looked at its info on Yamaha's site and it doesn't seem to indicate pass-through only for its HDMI, which means it may support audio through HDMI, too. But as they say, specs are subject to change without notice. I do have the Onkyo TX-SR507 receiver and it DOES support audio through HDMI as well. I've read a few reports saying that the Onkyo receiver will work great with Bose, Polk, and Yamaha speakers. I'm actually using Yamaha NS-SP1800 5.1 Speaker system that I bought off of Tigerdirect.com for only $119, and to be honest, they rival my parents Bose home theater system. They have an old analog one since they don't have HD. I'm the only one in my family with HD gear, lol! Score one for the kids. I've actually done a lot of research, even Consumer Reports, to find my receivers. Whenever you do receiver shopping, ALWAYS STAY AWAY FROM RECEIVERS THAT HAVE ONLY HDMI PASS-THROUGH if you want your audio going through HDMI. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Did you change the audio settings to HDMI OUT? You will need to in order for the audio to go to HDMI.

Fiber audio is said to have issues with synch - that could be rumor - and the cables are more fragile. If you have kids or pets that could play with the wires, I'd avoid fiber. I've never used the fiber port, though. The only issue I've had is using the passthrough port on the soundbar for my Roku. Lots of issues, fixed by moving Roku directly to the TV (Viero).
