Will this dongle work with a Samsung UN65F9000AFXZA UHDTV with digital only output port no analog or headphone jack. I have tried converters. no good

Are you sure? I have a Samsung TV, it only mentions SPDIF (digital) audio output in the manual, but it works. An easy way to test it is to just plug any old set of headphones into the jack and see if you can hear it.

Great question. It is supposed to work either way but I was only able to make it work through a headphone jack.

I'm sorry to say I do not believe this will work. It only works in my TVs headphone jack.

The specs for the TV say there is 1 x audio line-out ( mini-phone stereo 3.5 mm ). Check your TV owners manual if you can't locate it the TV.

I don't have neither. But it should work as with any other HDMI device. As this converter really supports full 1080p resolution (while cheaper converters e.g. need to negotiate the resolution down to 1024x768 pixels; and if the source device does not support such a down-negotiation, then it fails; but this better unit does not need that - it should work). My only concern would be the power supply, if the source device (like a TV stick) needs to get also powered by the converter. As this converter has a full and strong power adapter, I would assume this is not an issue. But I did not check this. And then, of course, you need the sound connection in addition to the s-video cable, but I am sure you know that, as s-video never transports sound information. A small switch lets you select the video out port (s-video or composite). So, long story short, yes, I am "pretty" sure that this should work for you.

Samsung UN40F5500 does have an 3.5mm stereo or optical audio output that may work depending on your wireless headphone adapter.

Another thing...I have a hearing problem and wanted to use my wireless headphones I had purchased a few years back for my older Samsung. Well in the past year or so they decided to make the analog audio output obsolete and changed to just a digital jack. Forget the exact name of it but thanks to that I had to purchase a small converter so my wireless headphones could be connected for me to hear better. Wasn't happy about that but Samsung isn't the only manufacturer doing that.

Go with directly connected to one-connect box and audio back to your receiver via HDMI ARC or SPDIF (Optical) cable. The interface is actually quite nice on the Samsung TV. You could always try to connect it into the receiver and see how it goes. Also if you're using a 4K TV that automatically upconverts the image, I would disable the upconversion on the receiver. I've had better results on my Denon S900W with upconversion disabled interfacing to a UN65HU9000.

This is where I ran into problems; The audio input is Optical. My TV only has Digital Coax. I had to buy an coax to optical converter to make it compatible. It was about $20 Hope this helps

As long as your PC detects this as the sound output / input it should work without any problem, I had lot of challenges with this in PC (esp linux) as the dongle was keep disconnecting. You should try its recent versions or get logitech brand.

joe, There are two most common options - you can use either a digital optical audio out (if your receiver supports that), or the 3.5mm analog output that will either go to a 3.5mm input, or can be used with a 3.5mm-to-RCA cable, which will support most receivers that have an AUX or TV input. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

I would recommend speaking to a Samsung support representative, who likely deals with this issue often. It would all really depend on whether i: IOGear has made the driver generic. and ii: Samsung TVs are set to receive non-native bluetooth adapters. However, I am confident that the TV would accept the adapter, but to be sure, check with Samsung support or user forums.

I have the same TV. The problem is this TV defaults to the dolby digital format which this converter does not accept. When I manually convert the TV output to PCM via the TV menu audio format it works fine, but every time I turn the TV off it reverts back to Dolby format. Samsung says the TV digital output automatically coverts to the proper format when going directly to another audio source but not when using this converter. Thus it reverts back to the default setting. Unless you want to mess around with the TV menu every time you use the TV thus product is not acceptable.

The FiiO D3 Digital to Analog converter does work since my Vizio LED TV only has a digital output. I use it for my wireless stereo headphone set since my wife does not like a loud TV and gives good quality sound.

Hello martin. I bought from amazon which costed me 1 dollar (it's from China ofcourse and it will take 2-3 weeks to arrive to US). I am currently using this to my 50 inch 1080p TV. I am not sure how high end TV this will work for , but that dongle works just fine. In addition , that 1 dollar thing need to be trimed on the left side for easier USB plug.

I have connected mine to my laptops and then to the TV. I use the 3.5mm on the output end and it works great, however I have used it in two laptops, however the first time I use it the system has to load software for audio in order for it to work, so I could not say for certain, unless your system will recognize it. I hope that this helps

It'll connect to any universal USB device port and any HDMI, the only issue is whether your device needs a 5pin or 11pin. Most devices now need an 11pin so i recommend to go to samsung online or best buy and buy a samgsung hdmi adapter.. range between 20 to 50 dollars

I have the same question. It says for TV so why can't you hear the tv through the Bluetooth speaker? Not tech savie so what do you mean a speaker and dongle that supports it? Isn't there one that works with any Bluetooth speaker and what would that be? Make it more simple to understand . Thanks

That's the exact reason I returned it. I'm pretty sure it's only compatible with a Sharp TV. I was able to solve the problem with an analog connect. Pure junk... return it if possible.

How about OTA over the air digital TV? I have a Samsung set-top box to feed HD signal into my HD ready TV. Do you think the unit will record with component cables as the interface? I don't subscribe to cable or satellite.
