Reddit reviews J-Tech Digital HDMI 1.4 Switch Switcher Box Selector 3 in 1 Out Audio Extractor w/Optical SPDIF & RCA L/R Audio Out & IR Control Supports ARC, MHL, 4K, Full 3D, 4kx2k, 1080P (Support Apple TV 4Gen)

I am using this one (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QJGAKCW) and it works perfectly. Comes with a remote and has almost perfect rating on Amazon.

TV, surround sound system, gaming from my couch rather than at a desk:

• $2,000: 65 inch 4K tv with low input lag and good HDR: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N7LHUZL
  
  
• $1,700: 5.1 Surround Sound. Includes: Sonos Playbar, Sub, and 2 x Play: 1s. I personally love the Sonos ecosystem and have Sonos speakers all around my apartment. Great for music, and the playbar is great for my TV, but it doesn’t play nice with any non-Sonos speakers or Bluetooth. But I’ve been gaming with this setup and games that use surround sound well, like Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, have been immersive and just generally phenomenal. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B071NFRX6X
  
  
• $2,000: a laptop you can game with from the comfort of your couch, since I’ve eschewed a desk and therefore a desktop PC. I’ve had good experiences with my 2014 MSI Stealth Pro gaming PC and would probably just upgrade to the newest one with the best specs. Stealth Pro is nice because it’s one of the best gaming laptops under 5 pounds, and since I rest my laptop on my legs, I don’t want some 10 pound Alienware behemoth cutting off my circulation. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B074VKSPN6
  
  
• $40: an HDMI switcher to force the laptop to output in 5.1 surround sound rather than stereo when it sends audio to the tv: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00QJGAKCW
  
  Plus some way to use a mouse. But yeah, I have this current setup (with a slightly cheaper 55” tv I’m considering upgrading to the 65” I linked) and gaming in a home theater setup is glorious. With absolutely no budget, I might pick a bigger, more expensive TV (like something truly absurd like 88 inches and just keep moving my couch back until I could handle how big the tv was) but I’m happy with my current tv size.
  
  This should also work well for console gaming, I just don’t own any consoles so I can’t comment.

Depends on the inputs available on your devices and projector.

Something like this could work that has optical output for sound to your old receiver, but it only has 3 HDMI inputs/1 out. As long as that's enough you should be ok.

Also it really depends on how old your receiver is. If it's ancient I would recommend upgrading. This is a good cheap solution though at $37.

That'll need a switch, not a splitter. You can get both functions in one box https://www.amazon.com/J-Tech-Digital-Switcher-Selector-Extractor/dp/B00QJGAKCW

I use an hdmi switch ( https://amzn.com/B00QJGAKCW ) but it's not automatic, it comes with a basic remote, so I can't say that I've noticed this.

I'm guessing the CEC on/off setting in the Settings > HDMI screen isn't what you need?

This is the switch JTech Digital HDMI 3 in 1 I have on my Sonos 5.1 setup with my 65" Samsung JS8500; it works to perfection. It does ARC perfectly when I run Netflix out of the applications SmartHub.

Also, I have a NVDIA Shield and a Blue-ray player connected as well and it process sound flawlessly.

They do have a 5 in 1 variant if you need more HDMI ports.

thank you :). I ended up buying https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QJGAKCW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 since I just wanted this all done :). It seems to work with netflix.

I think this may be what you need. http://www.amazon.com/J-Tech-Digital-Switcher-Selector-Extractor/dp/B00QJGAKCW/

How about something like this on the projector-out side of the switch? Never tried them myself, but it was my first thought.

Someone might also make a switch that does it? Er...yep, looks like they do! This one gives you a choice of RCA or optical out.

Again: no personal experience, both are just "first hit" examples.

I wonder how they'd work with content protection....siiiiiiiigh, HOLLYWOOD FUCK YOU

This will solved your headache

I personally used it and love it

J-Tech Digital ® HDMI 1.4 Switch Switcher Box Selector 3 In 1 Out HDMI Audio Extractor Splitter with Optical SPDIF & RCA L/R Audio Out & Remote Control Supports ARC, MHL, Ultra HD, Full 3D, 4kx2k, 1080P (Support Apple TV 4Gen) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00QJGAKCW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_4QltxbV0ZZ2W1

Well, it would appear that the Sony headphone's base station has two audio inputs -- not an audio input and output, unless I got the model number wrong or I'm not seeing some hidden output. That it's working at all like you expected is kind of a failure on Sony's part.

You want an HDMI switcher that also does audio extraction: https://www.amazon.com/J-Tech-Digital-Switcher-Selector-Extractor/dp/B00QJGAKCW

I'd also like to point out that unless you got a great deal on that Samsung monitor, you're now spending more on gear to make this setup work than you would have if you had bought an actual TV, and you're going to have a worse experience. Most TVs allow you to use the volume on the remote control to adjust the analog output for instance. It's not like you are forced to watch network TV if you buy a TV.

I haven't gotten one myself yet, but this was recommended to me - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00QJGAKCW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_ep_dp_aVkIybTWJ16DH
