i have 1 optical audio out of my tv. can this splitter feed my sound bar and receiver

I don't think so - it is intended to allow switching the output of various devices to a device input. If by receiver you mean cable or sat, you may not need this device. If you receiver has an HDMI out port - connect that to the HDMI on the TV and run the optical out from the TV to the sound-bar. The HDMI provides a better quality sound connection than optical anyway.

I don't think so. This switch is for multiple devices with optical audio "out" (TV, Blu-ray, etc.) into one device with optical audio "in" (e.g., home theater or receiver). I don't think it can be used the other way around.

You need the TOSLINK 1x3 splitter version; this is a switch for selecting sources.

I would say not, 3 inputs and 1 out! You need to look for a 1 in x 2 or more out or something similar.

Can't help you I don't use one of these splitters. I use 1 in and 4 out from my laptop to 4 TVs I also use a 4 in and 2 out with audio extractor Both had to be programed with my CP to work properly.

I have this exact setup and it works fine. My soundbar has optical input, but my headphones are analog, so the second line from the splitter actually goes to an analog converter, which the wireless headphones connect to. Perfect sound in both the soundbar and the headphones.

Most likely. You need to connect the line from the antenna to your splitter. You wil also likely need and amplifier.

If you TV has a HDMI connection it should work or use the audio out from the TV to the line 1 or 2 connections on the sound bar.

I ran an optical cable out of my TV to an SPDIF Toslink splitter(HD optical splitter) then ran one cable to my surround sound and one to the TV ears. Whatever is being watched us transmitted to the radio. I put the radio next to my seat and it works as advertised.

I have everything going to my TV (so that is my limit on HDMI inputs). I then just run 1 optical from my TV to the soundbar.. and *any* input/sound combination then successfully is sent to the soundbar (hdmi1 for fios, hdmi2 for bluray player, hdmi3 for xbox etc)

This splitter comes with its own power supply. What I did was connect my home theater and my Bose system to it so they both can run at the same time while I'm streaming a movie. An use the digital optical fiber which is why I bought this particular box. It only deals with digital optical ports or (fiber) to have 2 different sources and 2 different types of audio play at the same time.

I believe that the answer is YES. This box only splits HDMI signals [the single flat connector with both sound and picture in one]. The instructions that came with the box suggested that if the two TV's are of different resolution, the box MAY send both TV's the lower resolution signal [but I am not sure that this is true]. This box requires a power supply [included]. Splitters that require a power supply should work without trouble, but those that do not use a power supply may not work so well. It works very well for me.

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.

no. this splitter starts at one source and goes to two different tvs. not one tv to two different sources. sorry. i will say that product is out there. make sure you have good hdmi cables.

No, this device is for multiple tvs. What you need is a HDMI switch, not splitter.

Yes, I believe so. As long as you have the full HDMI signal this unit will allow you to split out the audio. I'm using it for a similiar application with a PC.

If the particular sound bar has HDMI inputs and outputs then yes it should work, but I'm reading the optical connections don't work in that cofiguration

Works for my set up with both audio and video. Receiver output is split into two other components. Both audio and video. Must understand, with my set up, this is NOT HDTV. I never tried to split component for HDTV, so not sure if that would work. Just video and left/right audio.

No, soundbars are made to be plugged into the TV and do not use a receiver. The surround receiver outputs to speaker wire. The opticals are inputs

That would work for sure. If you can use a Toslink cable that would be better (AmazonBasics Digital Optical Audio Toslink Cable). Look on your receiver/tv for a square connection, it usually has a blank piece of plastic in it to keep it clean. This would provide and optical audio connection.
