What this converter does
The Mediasonic YE-006A extracts audio from a TV’s ARC or eARC HDMI port and outputs it through a 6 foot optical cable. It is intended for owners of soundbars, amplifiers or active speakers that lack an HDMI input but accept a digital optical connection. The box draws power from a TV USB port or a separate adapter and requires no driver installation.
Sustained-load behaviour
The converter handles continuous 24-bit 192 kHz PCM 2.0 streams as well as Dolby 5.1 and DTS 5.1 bitstreams without drop-outs during long viewing sessions. It does not pass CEC volume commands through the optical link, so the TV remote cannot control the external amplifier’s level. A stable USB power source is required for uninterrupted operation.
When the upgrade makes sense
This adapter replaces a missing optical output on modern televisions, letting an existing sound system stay in service after a TV upgrade. It is not for setups that already have a working HDMI ARC connection between TV and audio gear, nor for installations that need multi-channel formats beyond 5.1 or CEC-based volume control.

Questions about this item
Does the converter generate noticeable heat or noise when it runs continuously?
The Mediasonic YE-006A is a passive audio extractor with no fan or moving parts, so it operates silently and produces negligible heat during all-day use.
What power source must I already have for the YE-006A to function?
You need a free USB 2.0 port on the TV or a standard 5 V USB power adapter; the included USB power cable is 3 feet long.
Will the optical output work with my older soundbar that only accepts PCM stereo?
Yes — set the TV audio format to PCM2.0 and the converter passes a compatible stereo signal to the optical input.
