HDMI Audio Breakout

[elf_lord_ZC5]

Hi,

Been trying to buy aTelkom LIT TV box as it has a A/V out put which should allow me to connect this streaming box to my HD monitor which does not have speakers. So far purchasing a unit is proving to be "mission impossible "

So any ideas how I might use a Roku or Amazon streaming stick/box and split the audio out from the HDMI cable, and feed to a preamplifier and leave the picture on my monitor?

Thanks
Edit:

Re: Bwana: Roku does not support DSTV ...
Probably Amazon as well ...

Need Sport... darn it

Seems like I am up the creek without a paddle ...

With something like this, and a back to back HDMI connector.

That's a VGA to ( ? ) what converter.

I think you're looking for something like this. I have one, but it's just gathering dust. I wanted to use it with an android box, but that thing gave me endless issues so I ended up selling the droid box (was a remix mini pc). I've since switched back to a windows based htpc and no longer need it. But anyway. Look for something along those lines. Just check the audio quality output if you can- the one I have picked up a slight buzz- which may or may not be due to said android box- I never bothered to check with another source

Wait - enlarging that - It looks like a VGA - HDMI converter ... , might work, if it will power a streaming stick ... , could be neat.

Somewhat of a complex device, might work, but is overkill, by the look of things

That is not going to work.. there is nowhere for the roku/amazon device to plug into..

@OP, this is what you are looking for..

What I cant confirm is whether it will be able to power a roku or amazon streaming stick but, I do see in the video review the guy is powering a chromecast..

That looks like a likely candidate, thanks

Roku Express+

Does it have a official, supported DSTV app?

It should be able to support the split audio requirement - need DSTV support for Sport.

No, you might want to add that requirement to your OP... and cross off Roku while you're there.

Ouch!!

Now there is:

Actually you plug the end you plugged a gender changing adapter onto, into the Roku, or whatever, and are left with a VGA output and audio output.

I have an HDMI switcher that does just that.

You can plug in multiple HDMI sources and it outputs Video to one HDMI and Audio to optical / AV.

Will post model no + pic when I get home.
