HDMI audio extract.

[HatefulEvil]

So I have one Signal output that I need to split in-between TV and WiiM. Is there any audio extractor that will give me audio through HDMI with WiiM. Or it's impossible?

Is it audio input or output for the WiiM?

There is no HDMI output on the WiiM and only HDMI ARC input.

I mean I want somehow send audio signal to WiiM with HDMI extractor help, not directly from TV.

You need an ARC splitter that has optical out and connect that optical cable to the optical input on the WiiM.

Ok. There are many such extractors on the market.

Here is an example of a HDMI to optical (SPDIF) converter.

HDMI Audio Extractor Converter, SPDIF + 3.5mm

OREI HDA-912, HDMI audio extractor 18G allows you to extract the incoming HDMI audio signal and convert into digital optical audio output.

Note that your TV remote volume control will probably not work with this solution. With a direct ARC connection it will.

You are right. But it's a simple solution and I would like to spare spdif for something else.

Then it is not clear to me what you want to do.

I mean I want somehow use HDMi input in WiiM with some HDMI adapter, lets say connect Xbox to WiiM "directly" not through TV

Not doable. That’s not standard HDMI in, it’s ARC in.

Aren't there any extractors that will "emulate" ARC?

WiiM only support HDMI ARC input. HDMI ARC is designed as a return channel from a TV to a soundbar or AV receiver, not as an input from source devices like gaming consoles.

There are however some adapters that should be possible to use. Have a look at this:
