I've been using this HDMI audio extractor for a week now and it's mostly been performing well. It's compact, maintains a steady connection and does a decent job at splitting the audio. However, there are a couple of issues I've noticed. Firstly, it doesn't remove the audio from the video output, resulting in duplicate audio from the television and speaker. This can be easily rectified by turning off the TV volume, but it seems like a design flaw. Why would anyone want the same audio output twice? Secondly, there's a noticeable noise when I switch my TV on and off as the HDMI source disappears. It's momentary but quite irritating.
