I have a older Sony (STR-KG800) 5.1 amp and speakers cabled into the wall.
I've added a Yamaha subwoofer so its all pretty much all I need. I only use it for say movie night or music concerts on the tele.
I added the Nvidia Shield via hdmi into the amp then hdmi out to the TV but I have to lower the res to 1080 on the Shield for the amp to pick it up but I prefer it running at 4k.
The amp has optical audio in/out so I got thinking, considering I only really need the sound passing through ithe amp not picture can I use an hdmi audio extractor to split the audio to the amp and will have to connect/disconnect it say I just want to use the tv's speakers via the hdmi ?.
Another factor, will there be any delay lipsync issues splitting the audio signal?, and lastly if it is possible is there anything cheaper than this:
ESYNIC HDMI 2.0 Audio Extractor Support 4K/60Hz YUV 4:4:4 HDR HDMI to HDMI RCA R/L SPDIF Optical 3.5mm Headphone Jack Audio Converter Suitable for Blu-ray One X PS4 Pro Laptop Projector HDTV: Amazon.ca: Electronics
Would be grateful with any help please
