I'm splitting a 3.5 audio cable from a HDMI adapter. Can I connect directly to these speakers?

Yes, with an adapter to a 1/4" phone plug. I'm feeding a video monitor and this speaker from an HDMI feed. The Behringer speaker has a built-in power amplifier and lots of gain, with an input that takes either XLR or 1/4" phone connectors.

All you need is the proper adapter to 1/4 phone or XLR microphone plug. You will have to back off the gain control on the speaker so that you don't get distortion.

I'm assuming you mean that you want to use this cable to chain two amplified speakers together. If that's not correct, please clarify and I'll alter my response. But, in my opinion, I'm not sure if this configuration will work. I would assume that your speakers have a female XLR for the input. Due to that fact, I'm not sure if this would work if you were attempting to daisy chain the speakers in line. However, if you were trying to run two separate lines from a single output of a soundboard (assuming it was a mono output or you are running two left or right channel speakers for some reason), this should work. The point being, the input signal into this cable should be the female end, and the output signal should be coming out of the two male ends.

I have two BOSE speakers with a left and right cable, can i connect these cables to this adapter and then the adapter to my tv to get audio on my speakers from the tv?

I can't answer the specific question as I am a novice regarding electronics in general, but I'm wondering if there is such a thing as a "splitter" for HDMI Cable as it would seem that this would solve your problem

It won't work ... Since the 3.5 is for toslink not aux... What exactly are you trying to do? Maybe I can help you...

Yes you can as all the splitter does is split the output into two separate stereo outputs, so if you connect head phones to one and the input of your monitor to the other it will work flawlessly. I run a similar system here one output to headphones and the other to a Creative powered subwoofer speaker system and I have not had any problems.

Honestly, buy a new receiver. You need this, and then you can continue using the speakers you have. Trying to do this any other way is not a good idea, and will end up costing you the same amount of money and continued frustrations on lack of HDMI inputs and outputs.

Yes if you plan to use the regular speaker cable. Via hdmi would need drivers.

Ben, usually you cannot connect such speaker systems directly as the TVs do not have a 5.1 connectivity option. You may need a 5.1 receiver. Afaik all TVs only have digital or optical outlets that you may need to connect to your receiver.Hope that helps.

after a google search I have not found anything that you can do with the HDMI output unless there's a device that you can plug it into that will actually split the HDMI signal

You need nothing. You can connect the 3.5 supplied to your computer and then to the 3. 5 jack on the sound bar. The cable is short so a longer cable may be necessary.

What I currently have set up is:a) Optical Cable from TV to Receiver.b) PS3 connected to TV via HDMI.c) 360 connected to TV via HDMI.d) Satellite receiver to TV via HDMI.My TV is capable of splitting the HDMI audio from the devices through the TV to the home theater via the optical audio cable, thus I can receive true 5.1 surround sound output. Again, not all TVs are capable of this, and you will have to check your manual.

Hi James. It will not be possible since this splitter will be connected to a single source. Whatever audio coming from the source will be shared on both outputs.

It depends what type of speakers. This is not an amplifier so if you are hopping to plug the speakers directly in, no. If you have an amplifier for the speakers you need to get an adapter that has a 3.5 mm plug on one end.

Best I could find. If you are talking about 3.5mm audio (headphones), you can get an adapter to turn that into what this uses: http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-DVI2HDMIA-Video-Converter-Audio/dp/B005G3VQ5E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1390427618&sr=8-1 This looks like it might work, but it's a bit confusing: http://www.amazon.com/25FT-Plated-Male-Male-cable-available/dp/B003FOLII6/ref=sr_1_37?ie=UTF8&qid=1390427821&sr=8-37

No you do not. The 3.5mm splitter is basically just there for some extra length. For mine I use the audio box adapter that comes with it just for the mute button and volume settings that are on it :)

I believe you'd be able to; it has 2 outputs: speakers & monitors, each with left & right. Moreover, I suspect you could use a Y splitter.
