    Hi,

    Thanks for helping out. I was just wondering, if I got the HDMI audio extractor could I connect it to the PS5 and monitor and then use an optical cable to connect to the Roku Streambar and get audio?

      Hi, just wondering if you tried this and if it worked or not, as I’m in the same boat.

      Thanks in advance for any help!
