Using with my Chromecast
922324
I have my Google Chromecast plugged into this unit and out to the speaker system attached to an unused monitor.  I know watch games and "Cast" from my computer, Ipad2 or Phone using apps such as WatchESPN (using tab casting and a computer) or some other cast and watch a game on the TV just next to it.  It serves almost as a Picture-in-Picture app for me as I surf and watch games.  I can also listen to different broadcast of games or even watch a movie while I keep up with the sports world.  Great purchase and has enhance my viewing experience greatly!

I got this to take the HDMI output from a Chromecast and send it to a VGA monitor and the sound to my stereo receiver.  The first monitor I had only works up to 720p and refused to show the video.  I tried a different monitor that does 1080p and it shows the video with that one, except missing a little bit of the left of the video.  The sound is good.  Most of the time I have to unplug the Chromecast from it to get it to start working.

Gave me some issues with a chromecast. In fact, would not recommend for a chromecast. but it could be specific to chromecast and not the unit.

i use it for a PS3, Switch, and WiiU to a projector and 5.1 receiver with an actual 5.1 attached. The 5.1 works great and i haven't ran into a problem with audio using the PS3 and Amazon Video or Netflix. You have to switch manually but it's a breeze with the remote. I leave it on all the time and haven't had an issue. So far i've owned it for about 4 months. Satisified, would recommend.

Tried the item on two different TVs with a Chromecast and it didn't work on either.  It would flicker through different resolutions, but ultimately didn't select an appropriate output that is compatible.  Yes, my Chromecast works.  Probably better to get one that allows you to choose the output resolution.

I bought this to set up a Google Chromecast on a TV without an HDMI port.  This is after having mistakenly purchased the HDMI to AV version.  Works well and set up was simple.  It is not crystal clear but being a complete non-techie I have no idea if that is because our TV is so old or because of the converter.  This is a spare tv in our basement which we use while we are working out so we were not looking for perfection.

I bought this unit to hang off an existing network as the original router doesn't upnp and there was no way I was going to reconfigure every existing device just for Chromecast. The only gotcha is that you can't setup this unit until its wan port has been connected and has an Internet connection, which is a needless step. I had a glance through its feature set and the usual suspects are there: port forwarding, etc.

Great add-on for the Chromecast, it should come in the box with it! Big part of the beauty of Chromecast is that it's wireless, small and hidden behind the TV, but then you have to plug a wire to it to charge it. Not anymore! The wire is the perfect length.

Bought this to see if it would allow me to use Chromecast with my Dell P2311 monitor. It works very well. The image is clear and sharp. The audio is split out to a 3.5mm jack, and can be run to a speaker that accepts 3.5mm line-in (it comes with a ~3' male-to-male 3.5mm cable).

On thing to consider...The VGA output is female, and your monitor likely has a female VGA port, so unless you want to run a long cable between this adapter and your monitor, you'll want to get a short converter.

I use this with a Chromecast to pipe audio from Google Play Music into my stereo system. It works great. The audio quality is very good, much better than the Belkin Bluetooth Audio adapter I tried using previously.

The one issue I was worried about was whether the Chromecast would work without a TV connected to the output of the HDMI audio extractor.  I do actually have a TV connected, but it is usually powered down, and the Chromecast doesn't seem to mind.

Note that I am using the 2013 model with the EDID switch.

Don't know if I would recommend this. It continually loses connection. So bad that I am going to try Google Chromecast.

I got it to stream video from my mac to apple TV. It works perfectly using airplay. Anything on my mac I can stream to apple tv with just 1 click.
I had google chromecast but it is limited to chromecast apps like netflix or chrome browser.
if you have a mac then apple tv is awesome to stream anything - even amazon prime app.
It would be nice for apple tv to have more apps installed - but being able to stream any app from mac more than compensates for that.

I am a frequent traveler and I am really enjoying this little device. Not only can I charge my phone with this, but in hotels I can plug in to he hotel network and use the WiFi from the filehub to run my Chromecast device.

I've bought in order to use it with my android tv-box. Connected a webcam, a mouse and a flashdrive -- all works well for couple of weeks already.

With Chromecast, it worked for one night, now when chromecasting video, it plays for a few minutes, then reboots.  I've tried this with both the older Chromecast, and the new, Chromecast.  It won't even start on the newer model when plugged in to this VGA adapter.

In short, ANOTHER cheap piece of Chinese made CRAP.  Don't waste your time or money.

I bought this to use with my Androids so that I could plug them to my tvs to watch movies and it works flawlessly! There is some delay in relation to the voices and the people's mouths on the screen but I have found if I go down a notch on streaming (stream in the 400 instead of 700) that fixes it. I don't think that has anything to do with the cord though.

I got this as a gift for a friend who loves Youtube but not on her laptop screen. Luckily her computer had an HDMI out port, and a 10' cable worked very well to her 42" TV. Now she can start the vid and move to the recliner. Guess I should tell her about Chromecast... nah!
