You may hook your projector up via HDMI if you have an HDMI input on it or simply use it as a monitor for which RCA outputs are provided. The receiver drives your speakers directly through speaker wires. HDMI audio output is really only used when the receiver is turned off and your projector cannot use HDMI audio anyway if I understand you correctly. Hope this helps.

The AVR-receiver as with most new model receivers has and input HDMI and an output HDMI you connect your cable TV or DVD player to the input in the back of the receiver and then your output goes to the projector you have your speakers connect by way of rca wire to the correct speakers ports on the back of your receiver

I have the HDMI video out of my receiver going to a projector, and the audio is running out to the speakers via the wires from the receiver. I have not had any issues with this setup.

I have used this adapter only for video data - to display what was on my computer screen on the projection screen. There was no audio data included in my projection. That said, I would check all the usual suspects - are all the cables secure? - are the speakers connected? - are the speakers on? - is the sound card ok? Is the mini HDMI-HDMI converter ok? After checking that all the mechanical pieces are right, I'd reboot everything and try again. I hope this helps. Best regards, TNF

Ofcourse!! HDMI send Video and audio at same cable...! dont worry about it, and if you want send audio by the speaker output you can to, you only need configure your OS, but by default the HDMI send audio and video...!! I hope my answer can help you...

This is an HDMI switching device. If your intention is to use it simultaneously then it probably won't work for you. Think of this as an A and B channel. To use any device you switch the channel. You can have one monitor and two devices to use each device with the one monitor.

Hi. The projector will do the following with a HDMI input. Audio will play via the inbuilt speakers. If you plug into the headphone socket, the inbuilt speakers are muted and the HDMI audio is ported through the headphone socket to your amp/speaker system or headphones.

There is only one HDMI input (digital video/audio), the other two connectors are for the two dongle cables for analog pass through (one is input, the other is output), the dongles are used for RGB video and R/L audio input/output, all of them are RCA type connectors 3/2 configuration. Look closely at the end of the dongle and HDMI cables, you will see they are shaped differently and do not interconnect. You can't use the HDMI & dongle inputs at the same time, but you can use the HDMI as the input for digital video/audio, then use the dongle output for RGB video and the optical output for digital audio out for 7.1 sound. You can also purchase a converter to convert the RGB/optical to HDMI digital, but make sure the converter is RGB/optical Input with HDMI Output as many are only HDMI Input to RGB/optical output.

No, you are not able to connect external speakers directly to the projector, but you should be able to output sound to external speakers by connecting them directly to the video equipment or computer you have connected to the projector.

Yes, that is correct. This item is designed to split a single source into two outputs. It is not designed to combine two sources into one. So you will need separate inputs on your TV; you might choose the component output for one item and HDMI output for the other.

This device always sends the input signal to both outputs - there is no switch involved. But I'm not sure why you care. If you're watching one TV the other TV is turned off so why does it matter that the HDMI signal is present at it's input? I use this spitter to sent the signal to a projector and to a TV. I never use both simultaneously. So what? Perhaps you can find a pure HDMI switch that uses no power at all and perhaps costs less money, but there will be some signal loss that may or may not affect picture quality.

Hi - Let's clarify something right away. Do not use VGA & HDMI cables from the same source at the same time. Just remember that what ever source you feed this monitor with an HDMI cable will be the one that sound is applied to the headset jack on the back. Anything else, you will have to hook up your speaker system straight to the source unit ( PC-Game unit - video feeds ) Hooking up directly to the source unit will generally give you the best sound anyway. If you have more than one feed to the monitor, it has a switch to select which one you will receive at any given moment. The HDMI feed will be the only one that sends sound to the monitor headphone jack, and you can plug a sound system into this jack or just headphones. - Good luck and enjoy! - Jim T.

If you are able to run the projector with VGA then your projector is set up to receive VGA. My laptop outputs VGA but my TV receives HDMI, not VGA. This is a converter. It only changes the signal from VGA to HDMI. I don't think it amplifies the signal. I am not an expert, but I suspect the more times you convert a signal something may be lost. If your projector receives VGA as well as HDMI, I can see no reason why you would get an improvement by converting the signal. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" would seem to apply here.

I don't usually use the built in speaker, but I have tried it before. I had HDMI from my cable box plugged in and the audio from that was coming through the built in speaker just fine. If you're using the projector connected to a computer make sure you have an auxiliary cable running from the computer to the back of the projector. If you're doing that and its still not working then I'm not sure.

This can be confusing, but I have tested this extensively. Yes, the HDMI audio will play out through the 3.5mm audio out port on the back to drive a pair of speakers or headphones. If you are on "HDMI 1" then the audio will play from that source. If you switch to "HDMI 2" then the audio will switch to that source. If you switch to D-SUB VGA then you need to have a 3.5mm cable running from your computer audio output/sound card to the 3.5mm input on the monitor. You can only get 1 source at a time and that source has to be the active screen on the monitor. In other words you cannot be looking at "HDMI 1" and getting audio from anything other than "HDMI 1." Also keep in mind that if you want to use the D-SUB audio setup then you "might" need to go into your audio settings in your operating system and make it the default or enable it. "HDMI 1" then

Not sure I understand the question. This equipment is primarily for splitting one HDMI input source into up to 4 output devices. So, if you have one source equipment (e.g. computer, DVD player, Blu-Ray player, game console etc.) with, at least, one HDMI port, you can use the splitter to distribute to 4 different output devices e.g. you can operate one DVD player and watch on 4 different TVs simultaneously. Both your input device and the output devices should have HDMI ports or HDMI compatibility. If either of your input or output devices does not have HDMI ports, you would need to be sure there are converter cables that will work with them. For instance, I use a DVI-to-HDMI cable from my computer to the splitter because my computer does not have HDMI ports.

The unit will output HDMI video and audio to two displays no matter the size. We will assume that you are sending the audio to a surround receiver in a 5.1 situation. You focus your audio on the surround receiver, and you send the video to the displays. In that regard, this unit supports what you are doing. There is some delay in the HDMI switching, but what HDMI component doesn't have some delay. It's an intense signal.

The user manual shows a standard pair of computer speakers connected to the speaker output of the projector. With the appropriate adapter cable, you should be able to connect the audio from this output to any audio device.
