For Those that keep asking - 4k HDMI Audio Converter: amzn.to/47ZNSpV
I’ve seen tons of videos on this subject and yours by far is the best. You just made it so simple and actually showing us step by step makes it so easy for anyone to do!
Thank you, I just was searching for a while and couldn't find anything. Once I figured it out, I had to make a video.. Glad it help :)
Thanks so much, I have the same projector, I bought the exact same converter, it worked a treat, it didn't at first but it did once I turned everything on and off again, it worked on the white light mode on my Majority sound bar.
Haven't ever had any issues with mine. It's been a few years now, glad everything worked out tho.
Thank you so much bro. I’ve been pulling my hair out and you fixed that frustration!
I tell you what I was too. I was looking all over the place trying to figure it out. I finally got it so I had to make a video.
Thank you! I was going crazy...
Well explained
Happy to help
Great video, thanks. Consider buying a projector, this video helps.
You’re welcome
Finally I understand how to do this thanks
You’re welcome!
You helped me so much omg i was pulling my hair out
Glad to help!
Duck dinasty my favorite show
Right on!
Love it
You're welcome
You didn’t need the converter. Just connect the Roku to the projectors HDMI port and connect an Aux to Aux cable from the projector to Soundbar.
E10 doesn’t have Aux .
Don't have a AUX port from the projector on mine... That would have made since haha
I used the HDMI ports in my Yamaha YAS209..no converter required
Awesome thanks! Can you also use an optical cable instead of rca if your speaker has such an output?
Yes, absolutely… works both ways
Thku soo much
You're welcome
Thank you for this!
You're welcome
Hey man great video, I have a question does it support 7.1 surround system ?
This one specifically is the 5.1 but if click the link in the description the suggested product underneath is the 7.1 adapter.
what a life saver tons of thanks sir
Happy to help
I hooked it all up and i get limited sound from my surround sound. Is it becasue my system is too old?
You can pickup a cheap soundbar or something. That’s what I did, really anything is better than the speakers in the projector.
Does the converter come with the power cord and wall plug that you have?
Yes, it’s plug and play. Link is in the description
Wow great just as using an outdated optic slot. How about an hdmi soundbar???
The optical cable works best, just didn’t have on for the video.
Why need hdmi converter? Why cant we just insert fire tv stick directly to projector hdmi port and audio rac cables from projector to 5.1 subwoofer?
The RCA ports only send audio into the projector. The speakers on the projector are worthless.
I have firestick and Epson Projector and HDMI ARC sound bar. how to connect all three and how to get sound out to HDMI arc sound bar. any help would be appreciated
Did you get the hdmi converter from the video? I walk you through the process
Get a hdmi splitter
Can you use this in reverse ? RCA from the projector into the box and then hdmi running to soundbar ?
Never tried it, idk give it a shot and let me know.
My prjector to my surround sound has voice lag even with the hdmi hooked up i dont know if its the streaming thing maybe got higher speed but i need help any advice would help 😢
You have to get audio before it goes to the projector. This is way the splitter is before the hdmi going to the projector itself. RCA will work or optical
Bluetooth
Don't want to complicate things 😅 but even your Roku atick has bkuetooth enabled allowing you to skip the wires
I like the idea of no wires. But when I tried to get the video to go to the projector and the audio to go to the surround sound system. This was the only way it worked for me.
What about a RCA projector w/a Sony sound bar plus one speaker not jacks needed just uses a HDMI
Sounds like a plan
Why not connect Roku to projector and Bluetooth to soundbar. No wires needed
If your projector has Bluetooth that would be the way to go. Mine doesn’t so was stuck with this option
Where is link
amzn.to/47ZNSpV
A soundbar isn't surround sound. You could of just used Bluetooth instead of that converter box
True, however the setup would be about the same. Audio out to the system and video to the projector.
Why is he wearing a vest lol
You never know these days
I have this exact same set up, hdmi to projector, hdmi to converter and on the other side of the converter I put the fire stick, but when I turn it on everything works fine for like 10 seconds but then the fire stick shuts off and restart and it keeps doing that, do you know why it keeps happening I need help !!!
That’s a great question: unfortunately, I’ve never experienced that issue. (Knock on wood) I did find this online:
Power-cycle your Fire TV Stick, the good way:
Just unplug the power cable from the wall. And do the same with your internet router.
Then wait around two minutes and then put everything together again.
Check back to see if that screen is gone.
Check on how your Fire TV is wired.
Make sure you are using the HDMI extender, the one that came in the box (the six inches one, with female and male HDMI ports, your Fire TV Stick goes in the female port and the male one goes into one of the HDMIs of your TV).
Also, try a different HDMI on your TV and a different power plug. Have you tried a different USB cable as well?
The power cable goes from the outlet in your wall to the side of the Fire TV Stick, make sure you are not connecting the USB end to the back of your TV.
Check for updates:
Once you get back to the home page follow this path: Settings →My Fire TV → About → Check for software updates, and allow your device to install any pending component.
If none of these tricks are working... Reset your Fire TV Stick.
Hold the U-Turn Button + the LEFT side of the circle. Hold them for 15 seconds, Then allow your device to reset.
After this, you will be able to set up again and fix any of these software issues.
Thank you so much I will try all of these tactics and will report back I really appreciate it !
HOW DID U GET SOUND IN THE FIRST PLACE?? WHERE WERE THE SPEAKERS?
There are small 2inch speakers inside to projector. Not ideal for movies or really anything. That’s why this video was made, I got frustrated with a high end projector with the worst sound quality ever. But luckily that’s no longer the issue.
Will you hide the wiring later?
hahah yeah I need to make an updated video
Sir which epson projector u r using ?
880 3LCD
@@Robert_Cain do u recommend any other models as it is not available in my country
Can we do it with hdmi arc?
I’m not sure, this was the only way I was able to get it to work
@@Robert_Cain thank you, I will try to find something on Amazon that can work with hdmi arc
HOW DID YOU GO FROM SAYIN THERE IS NO AUDIO TO ''IM GOING TO GIVE U AN IDEA WHAT THE AUDIO SOUNDS LIKE''???
They do have a 2” speaker. Size matters my man….
I'm hooking up the projector ( just viewing it on a wall) to a pa system, the only way I can get sound to it is a 3mm in the headphones jack to my pa system, can't seem to get the rca cables to pa system to work, wouldn't I get better sound or does it not matter ?? thanks
Anything is better than the sound out of the projector.

I almost burst out laughing seeing this dude wearing this vest like he’s in Ukraine 🤣
Hahaha - you never know these days!
You should get paid to talk about this product. I bought two, I’m sure you’ll sell 100s of these for that company
Thanks
Soooooo where's the surround sound system? Lol that's what i was looking for 🤔
It hooks up the same way, you would just send the audio to a surround sound system instead of a sound bar.
Could you not just turn a HDMI cable from the projector to the sound bar ?
If your projector has another HDMI... Mine just has input HDMI
Same just inputs … I just ordered it we will see if this will help with our sound issues outside
If your gonna plug products make sure you get an affiliate link, heck if someone gonna buy it they will buy it anyway
Great idea
