If the output is connected to HDMI, and the toslink audio is connected to an external audio amp, will it still allow hdcp programs to play?

I assume you have another digital audio input for your hdcp input, yes? There should be no problem.

Mine is connected to a ps3 and have had no problem watching Blu Rays or Netflix sine I've been using it.

I've tried a few different video types but all through a smart bluray player. What are you playing? based on how it seems to function id say that should work.

If your TV is receiving a video input from a video source like the Internet via an Ethernet /WiFi connection then the audio output would only be available on it's headphone socket or via a dedicated analog RCA stereo output or Digital optical or SPDIF output connection. It would not be available on other HDMI sockets which are usually all input connections on the TV. The linear analog or digital audio will have to go to the Yamaha AV inputs or audio input connections. It's mentioned in the manual . Look for the user manual on the Net.

Yes, set the switches in on the back as the manual states. I use DTS through the Toslink and it works fine.

The Monoprice DVI & S/PDIF Digital Coax/Optical Toslink Audio to HDMI Converter is designed to take optical as one of the inputs and produce HDMI output so I don't think it's going to solve your application. Have a look at the J-Tech Digital Premium Quality HDMI to HDMI + Audio (SPDIF + 3.5mm Stereo) Audio Extractor Converter (JTDAT5CH). It will take HDMI as an input and generate optical out as one of the options.

if you're sending HDMI into the powered amp, the EnjoyGadgets splitter is supposed to enable that. but, there's really only one way to find out...

I know of no reason why not - once the Data Stream has been converted from Digital [HDMI] with the Video and Audio information separated to Analog Composite [aka RCA], the receiving equipment will not know the difference between this converted signal and any other [normally] generated RCA information.

If the controller for the computer surround has a toslink input, then yes you can use this.

Yes, I was able to do audio over HDMI (over optical cable too). Once you have connected a HDMI cable, right click over speaker icon in system tray and then click in the "playback devices" menu item. In the list of playback devices select your target device and click "Ok" button. My operating system is Windows 8.

I have a DVI and Toslink feeding into this unit and HDMI coming out to the amplifier. I lose audio when the DVI feed is unplugged even though the Toslink is still connected. I still get audio, however, when feed from this unit to the TV it feeds to is off. Hope that answers your question.

This adaptor converts one end of a TOSlink cable (one form of S/PDIF) into a mini-TOSlink plug. Even though it looks a little like a 3.5mm jack, it's still an optical signal, so what ever you plan to plug it into has to be capable of receiving optical S/PDIF in its 3.5mm jack. For example Apple MacBooks have been capable of this for years. It doesn't convert optical/digital signal to analog sound.

Yes, if connecting through HDMI you will get sound through that audio channel.

You can use a TOSLINK cable to get your sound from your receiver, that is IF your antiquated receiver is capable doing such. Many modern receivers can actually play the video and the sound through the HDMI cable.

Yes. You have to enable HDMI digital audio in NVIDIA Control Panel and change your target output device. I run music from my computer directly to my A/V Receiver this way.

Hi. Actually what you see are the input and output sides from the same box. The cable is fiber optic and must be connected to the device's digital output and to the "toslink" input in the box.

The HDMI inputs outputs do carry audio signals. In the simplest setup where all sources and monitors (I.e. TVs, receivers, etc) are HDMI capable, you won't need to worry about audio. However, if your receiver is HDMI-less, then you have the choices of sending analog or digital audio signal to it. While I've not tried digital signal but the analog works for me just like you stated in your question. I've read in the product reviews that the unit can only output one type of signal at a time. Meaning you can't have both analog and digital outputs at the same time. Search the reviews may help.

to the answer below in my case I am a HDMI out of my computer into surround sound amplifier then to speakers

I have mine running though my Onkyo TX-SR705, which to my knowledge utilizes the HDCP handshake and never had any issues whatsoever. I get full 1080p video output as well as full high def audio without fail.
