Lindy HDMI CEC Less Adapter, Female to Male (41232)

It is a must for high level home theater system.

Worked for me. I was facing CEC issue with two HDMI inputs to my mi TV.

I had actually ordered one of these a few years back, and at some point looked at it and thought would did i need this for and then got rid of it, Anyway My new Zidoo Z20 Pro, and it appears its switching on randomly possibly due to intermittent HDME CEC signals, so after some searching this was recommended, so i was surprised when amazon said i bought it a few years back as mentioned above, Works perfectly no more random switching on, and it doesn't interfere with the signal at all

I have had a lot of problems with my Samsung TV, connected to a Sonos AMP through HDMI (E-ARC) AND a Google TV Chromecast on another HDMI input. I have had two different problems. 1. Everytime I turn on the TV the external sound with Sonos is not discovered until I unplug the Chromecast. Unplug and plug in, then the sound is through Sonos as I want as default. 2. I cant change the volume through the TV remote. With this device plugged in between the Chromecast and the TV, both of these problems have been resolved.

Awesome time saver for CEC issues

I have a Samsung QN65Q7FAM TV and a Samsung HW-M550/ZA sound bar. The other day when I tried using an optical audio cable from my TV to my sound bar and not an HDMI cable, the Dolby digital 5.1 sounds a lot better than it did when using the TV ARC connection. Only problem? I lose all of the neat HDMI-CEC (Any-net +) stuff when using optical over HDMI. What happens when I use both HDMI ARC and optical? The TV automatically defaults to HDMI making my optical connection useless. And then I found out about this little doohickey. It actually does allow me to use both the TV ARC and an optical cable together, but now it routes only the audio through the optical cable without trying to default through the HDMI. The only bad thing is- I had to practically turn off all the TV smart features(which I don’t use anyway) because even though now when I go to turn the TV off, my soundbar doesn’t turn off immediately like it did before. It actually has to wait about five minutes before it figures out there’s no incoming signal but, after everything‘s been turned off for a while, when I go to turn on my TV whether I’m using the TVs remote or my Apple TV’s remote, the TV still does turn on the soundbar and after turning off my TV smart features, I don’t have to go into my TV settings anymore and change the audio output from the TV speakers to the soundbar so all in all, this little adapter does work. Unfortunately, it’s not exactly like it was when I was using the TV ARC but for everything else I can do, I’ll take it. Not only that, being that I found out my TV can’t properly pass Dolby digital 5.1 to my sound bar using an HDMI cable- even if I go into my Apple TV settings and change the audio output from LPCM to Dolby digital 5.1; the only way to properly do that between the TV and the sound bar is through an optical cable.

Ich habe eine Evercade VS-R Spielekonsole und diese hat scheinbar eine fehlerhafte HDMI-CEC Implementierung. Ganz zu schweigen davon, dass das Gerät offiziell überhaupt kein HDMI-CEC unterstützt. In jedem Fall funktioniert die HDMI-CEC Kette zwischen meinem TV, meiner Soundbar und der Streamingbox nicht mehr, sobald das Evercade VS-R via HDMI an den TV angeschlossen und das Gerät ausgeschaltet (!) ist. Wenn die Evercade VS-R hingegen angeschalten ist, wird die HDMI-CEC Kette nicht mehr unterbrochen. Irre. Die Lösung ist dieser Adapter hier: Seither habe ich das oben beschrieben Problem nicht mehr, es jedoch selbstverständlich bereits dem Hersteller Blaze Entertainment gemeldet.
