Will this work with my Boxee Box (Opical) and Altec Lansing surround sound speakers for PC (RCA)? Boxee Box is connected to LCD screen, via HDMI. I can see the video, but there is no audio and plan on using the PC speaker system for sound.

15 April 2014 2pm If your PC's AUDIO OUTPUT is a Fiber optic connector then this will work because its INPUT is fiber 0ptic connector and its OUTPUTS are RCA L and R.

as long as the speakers are touching the box, it will work no matter what make or model. ingenious device, great invention. Only time it won't work is if your player does not have an external speaker.

I'm trying to decipher what exactly you are even trying to say......You are better off getting some speakers for playing music. This device is limited to the 3.5mm cable that runs from the AUX port to your Droid (quality issues). I used this for my xbox to a computer monitor and the AUX port went to a set of speakers. Why do you need this conversion box (VGA to HDMi) if you are going from I am assuming a USB(Droid) to an HDMi(TV)? It doesn't really make sense. Unless someone else can answer it better than me.

you sure you don't have the cable in the audio pc/hmdi input (this connection is in "input 5" box, just above and to the right of the digital audio output; i believe this is the same connection type...) judging by the lack of picture instead of audio, that is my best guess anyway. someone correct me if i'm wrong (my tv is hanging and i cannot really see the connections), but i do not believe this device has a standard audio output (besides the headphone out)...

I hooked the pc as audio input to a receiver, and hooked up the speakers as ouputs on the receiver. The receiver has more power and functionality than the the pc with respect to sound. I have this setup with 5 speakers and the PSW111 all connected to a yamaha receiver. awesome sound, works great.

No, component cables with audio ( total of 5 RCA connectors) will not work with this device. This device is for composite video cables or just stereo audio, which is how I use it.

This is not intended to replace a sound card. I have the Creative sound card installed on my Vista desktop which works very well with my Bose sound system. The AXX is pricey, but are not most quality devices costly?

No. It did not work with my tv or cable box. The connection cable will not work with the tv and cable, it was not suitable for my tv Samsung flat screen tv , nowhere to plug the speakers. You might need to buy an adjustment ??!!!. Tablets, phones and stereos and maybe computers. I bought it for the tv and I couldn't use it. I did read the comments from other customers so I thought it will go with my tv but it didn't so I am not sure how they made it work

I have two Asus Xonar sound cards that send digital signal from my computers to older MSB DACs. The sound is quite wonderful, very musical. I prefer to use the optical out if I can, but coax seems to work very well too. These are both in older computers that are dedicated to audio playback only.

Yes. You connect the optical cord to the coverter. Then the coaxial (RCA) cable or just the optical cord to the auxiliary on your Altec Lansing system. I use mine to connect my xbox 360 and apple to tv to a 27' samsung monitor with an hdmi cord. The monitor has no sound hook up, that's why I got this product I use it to connect to a Bose sound system. Sounds like you need the same thing.

Although I have no knowledge of those boxes I do know if they have micro usb audio output or bluetooth audio then it should work. If no micro usb audio out then perhaps an adaptor to go from phone jack to that? You'd have to check with a place like RadioShack to help you for such things. Also there's such a thing as phone jack to bluetooth transmitters. Hope that helps.

You have options when installing this device. In my installation, I simply plugged the USB connector on the device directly into my PC and an HDMI cable from the device to my monitor. Video and were delivered to the monitor. Another option is to use the Audio Out connector on the device to deliver sound to another device such as your home theater receiver. So, the answer to your question is Yes the sound from your computer will play through the speakers of the receiver.

You can try to connect it to your sound card with compatible ends or connect directly to speakers with speaker wire. I just use the RCA jack for my surround sound system.

does your t.v. have rca output for sound (red and white ports)? if so, you could get a 3.5mm male to RCA stereo cable and plug the T.V. directly to the speakers. And yes, your hypothetical set up should work (don't know about the good sound part), but you'd probably still need the cable that I mentioned (if a cable box is anything like my direcTV box or a Roku box, there won't be a 3.5mm output there either)

If your speaker uses an optical input connections, this will work just fine. I can't find a pictures that show the inputs for polk smart bar speakers. If they are powered speakers, then the box itself may have an optical input.

I hooked mine up to my surround sound system, but unfortunately the sound only came through one speaker. Hope you have better luck.

I'm can't answer that. I installed this because my older 5.1 surround sound system has only analog inputs - one for each speaker. Placing this between the dvd player (coaxial out) and the older 5.1 system did give me surround sound. However, it appears it is no longer working. Straight from China and built to last only so long.
