will this splitter work with two devices at the same time? Specifically, will it run a sound bar and a small transmitter that can send an audio signal to my hearing aids at the same time. The transmitter and the hearing aids are paired. simply wondering if it can do both items at the same time.

I bought this splitter from Monoprice and it does not work with my TV ears. I have digital TV ears, and a sound bar. I hooked up the splitter to the output optical on the TV set, and then two outlets from the box, one to the sound bar, and one to my TV ears. I ended up buying a different brand from Fry's Electronics and it works like this one should.

I have been using this device multiple times to split the spdif audio out of a TV to 2 different audio systems and only have good things to say about it. And to answer your question, yes both audio outputs are active at the same time.

Am using the splitter to split tv audio to amplifier/speakers and to a Resound steamer for streaming to Resound hearing aids - works fine.

BEST ANSWER: No this does not do that. You are describing the need for a switch, as you can only listen to one source at a time

I'm nit positive since i never tried to use it in that manner. It may work with only one device running along, most certainly would not work with two devices working at the same time.

No. Inputs will not function as outputs, nor vice versa, but you can find what you're looking for, probably at Monoprice (I'm not one of their employees).

I've never tried it that way but I would think the answer is, No. I believe there are devices out there that will do what you're looking for.

Are you sure about that, Jericho? The Description says it supports "DTS® audio", which as I understand it is 5.1. And it also says it splits Optical (which supports 5.1) into "identical" outputs.

I need to run toslink from my TV to the splitter, then output the split signal to a home theater AND also wireless headphone unit which has toslink input. Will it do that, and will both split signals be active simultaneously?

BEST ANSWER: This is why I bought it and what I did with it, although my home theater was only a sound bar. It worked. I was able to use the soundbar and headphones at the same time.

Seeking confirmation: Is this splitter able to pass compressed bitstreams up to 48Khz/16bps using the AC3 (Dolby Digital 5.1) encoding mechanism? I want to spilt the AC3 audio format from a Samsung H3272 DVR between two AVRs

Do I have to unplug this splitter every night after using . I am going to use it the next night so unplugging every night is a pain.
Is it really necessary to unplug every night?

I use the Toslink 1x2 splitter as follows: the TV audio out is connected to the ?in? of the splitter; then my sound bar is connected to one of the ?out? of the splitter and a proprietary blue tooth transmitter unit that is paired to a set of hearing aids is connected to the second ?out? of the splitter. The resulting audio is excellent.

This splitter works! I wanted to split my audio signal from my TV to a sound bar and headphones. I ordered a different splitter that did not work. This one does the job.

Works great . . .
Products such as this, especially electronic splitters/switches, etc., either work or they don't. this one performs well with no generation of, or susceptibility to electronic distortion.

When looking for a splitter, this was just what I needed. The sound quality does not appear to be diminished on either line out. New TV's do not have enough output lines. I needed one output for my sound bar and one for my father-in-laws headphones.
