I am only able to get the black side of the splitter to work. No audio comes through the red side of the splitter. Is my splitter defective?

This product should not be sold. The one we had quit working in two days, first it had really low volume and then no audio at all but.

hi, well the red side is for voice. if you look closely at the two plugs one has headphones on it and the other has a microphone on it as does the holes they go into on your computer. if that still doesnt work plug them both in then shut down your computer and then turn it back on and your computer will find it itself, good luck.

Honestly it would be better to just buy a splitter and plug it in, instead of messing with the wiring. I'm sure if you have the ability to do it, then by all means do it. Personally, buying a splitter would be easier and safer

For your situation what you need is an optical audio splitter. This item is a switcher. Search Amazon for optical audio splitter, there are many to pick from.

I haven't tested it as a splitter. I've used it as a combiner to steer two male mono channels into one stereo male connector. I would guess that, in theory, it should work the opposite way. As the black side carries one channel and the red side carries the other, each device you connect to the female jacks should receive one side of a stereo output.

Its possible, it depends on how well the item is made really and where the problem lies. My problem with this item was because I think the back metal was touching the internal wires by accident. If the splitter serves no other purpose for you, you could try doing the same (get to the insides) to see if this is the problem, or there is something else wrong inside the unit. If all the cables work without the splitter, then it does sound like it is the splitter somehow, but there is no real guarantee that a different online product will be more successful. Might try a store where you can get a return maybe? Also note that a splitter is not the same as a switch. A splitter sends the same cable data to multiple units while a switch selectively merges different cables into 1.

I' really not sure what you are asking here. If you look at the listing you can see that the input connector is in the middle of the side with three connectors. The other four connectors are -7.0DB outputs. I have not actually used the item yet, but I have other Extreme brand splitters that work well.

I tried multiple splitters and unfortunately none of them worked. I ended up getting a tv that had more than one HDMI inputs and used one optical output to my sound bar.

I purchased for similar problem, did not work for me either, even with a splitter. If you find a way for this to work, I'd like to know

I had somewhat the same problem. It looked like my audio cable was working but really was not. They sent me a new cable and now it works fine

I don't remember what the back of the unit looks like because the piece of garbage is in it's box up on one of the shelves. If it has 2 jacks on the back and you only have 1 plug on your subwoofer, you may have to find a cable splitter that has 1 input and 2 outputs. You can probably find one where ever electronics assessories are sold and it will not cost very much. If you do purchase another subwoofer, then 1 input will be for the left side and 1 input for the right. At least that's how it is on my Onkyo receiver I purchased to replace the Sony STRDH820 receiver that constantly broke down that Sony claimed nothing was wrong with and could not fix or replace. Good luck with your unit. I still "MAKE BELIEVE" that I did not get ripped off with mine.

You need a splitter. Support/warranty is dubious. Mine 'failed' and I could not return it under warranty. Known issue with cutting out randomly.

Make sure your input src is clean. If you pass through the tv it may not work, get audio straight from the sat box or whatever and make sure that outputs dolby 5.1.

No invest in a different one I have 2 Xbox consoles connected to one and it only plays one of them even if j unplug it it will not play the other signal you get what you play for so invest in a different splitter, also you will need to buy an extra cable for if you do decide to go with this connector

The splitter's amplifier might not be working, but simply passing the signal through without amplifying it. If I recall correctly, the splitter has no lights at all. Amazon will replace it for you.

Like Peter said, not all TV's bridge the sound from an hdmi in to a stereo out(digital/coax etc..) Try using a different output port, or going hdmi to the stereo, and then hdmi to the tv

The splitters (2) that I tried at the input end would not work - the signal strength was too low. Just for interest I tried a splitter at the other end and zero signal. Also at the output end, even some 90 degree elbow adapters or HDMI keystones would drop the signal enough to be a problem. Bottom line is the cable is good, just have not found anything that is not a drain on throughput.

They are broke. Mine works great on both sides. Make sure it is fully plugged in though. If the connector is not all the way in, you will only hear one side.
