Will this create an SPDIF (digital) output on an Android TV box - without an additional driver?

The Micro II is designed for PC and Mac platforms. It is not supported for Android.

This unit is supposed to convert both SPDIF optical or PCM Coaxial digital, with priority given to SPDIF. Since my Bluray player uses Coaxial, I had to disable SPDIF, therefore I don't know how well it works for non-PCM.

if you have the new tv you don,t need converter boxes .the one i have has two outputs but may be able to use 3 or more by using a splitter

Follow-up: I tried hooking my unit up with a digital TV signal converter and it didn't work.

you don't need that. The HDMI Output of the apply TV has all digital information for the receiver.

output to another higher resolution tv, can be used as a standalone blu ray player in that sense

No. Your single female RCA S/PDIF output is a digital coax output. It's won't work plugged into a analog RCA input. You should have either a RCA digital coax input or a optical input on your sound bar for receiving digital audio. Alternatively, you can just plug in a pair of stereo RCA cables from the TV to the sound bar. Otherwise, you would need to use something like a SPDIF to analog converter.

If your TV has an optical output, it is extremely likely that it is TOSLINK. TOSLINK is the name of a physical connection standard. You'll see other acronyms that refer to the protocol carried over that connection. SPDIF refers to one layer of the digital protocol that can be carried over a TOSLINK connector. You'll also see a reference to PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) which refers to one of the formats of audio that can be transferred using SPDIF. This device requires that your TV be able to output PCM over the TOSLINK optical link. Many TV's let you set PCM output but some do not. Make sure that yours does before you purchase this device. My Samsung tv permits this and this device has worked perfectly for many months.

The sound options need to be, "Audio Out" instead of TV Speakers, and change the "Variable" to "Fixed". This got the SPDIF cable working on my KDL-46EX520. I'd imagine your settings are very similar.

Hi WadeThere's no HDMI connector to accept an HDMI cable on the back of the board. There is an HDMI_SPDIF header on the board itself. This from the Manual: The 2-pin HDMI_SPDIF header provides SPDIF audio output to an HDMI VGA card, allowing the system to connect HDMI Digital TV/projector/LCD devices. Please connect the HDMI_SPDIF connector of HDMI VGA card to this header. If possible, I would advise you to purchase the Extreme4 or better board. It performs well, however it lacks a few features that hinder its performance, especially should you want to overclock your RAM. Go for the slightly more costly board if you can afford it.Lloyd Hi WadeThere's no HDMI connector to accept an HDMI cable on the back of the board. There is an HDMI_SPDIF header on the board itself.

Yes the SDI output just passes the signal through. I have 4 linked together via SDI and each outputs to the HDMI and sends the signal to the next converter without issue.

No. It has composite outputs and a coax output. This is a pretty basic player. It's meant to output to HDMI or Comp (RYW). Works very well with HDMI but if your digital TV doesn't have HDMI capability the composite output should take care of you. I'm quite happy with the purchase.

I use this on my chromebox connected to my television. The usb dongle loaded and worked completely. I presume it would work generally with android although there may be some unique situations as I don't think Android is designed for using a Mouse and on screen pointer. You may be better off getting something with separate keyboard and mouse.

Doubtful, software drivers are limited (doubt hardware would show up in browsers or app) and box only designed to capture rather than stream. Check out same manufacturers converters (HDMI/SDI etc). Might work better.

Make sure you have your TV input source on the same one your box is connected to

the SPDIF header on the MB should be output only.. so you wouldn't be able to use for input

Not a problem! The Display Port does need the correct plug/cord. I paid 12 bucks on amazon. Output on the chromebox is 1080 and the sound is digital and outstanding!
