Digital camera reviews of Optical Splitter
Digital camera Review: Didn't work at all
Summary: 1 Stars
Maybe mine was broken, but I don't think so because I could see a red light at all the cable ends. I connected the splitter to my sound card, a TB Montego DDL, with a 1' cable and then tried both a 6' and 30' cable to my stereo. No signal whatever. Both the 6' and 30' cables delivered great clean signal when plugged directly into the sound card. I even used only the 6' and 30' cables in case the 1' was bad. Still no signal.
I think you need to have either a very, very, strong signal from your source to use a passive splitter like this one, or use a powered splitter.
Digital camera Review: Didn't work for me. Tried to split 1 signal into 2.

I was trying to split the signal from my Xbox 360 to my home theater and a pair of Triton AX360 headphones. Didn't work. The six sided end fittings of a typical optical sound cable did not fit very well into the squarish ends of this device. I suspect that is the problem or maybe I just got a bad one. I tried it with low and high quality cables as well. It's a bummer too because I grow tired of unplugging the cable from my HT to put it into the headphones receiver.Digital camera Review: Didn't work for what I wanted to use it for.

I'm not an expert on these splitters but it only cost $5 so I decided to just try it out.
I play games and watch Netflix on my Xbox 360. When I watch Netflix I have my system hookup to my receiver. When I play games I hook up my Turtle Beach head set. I thought with this device I could have them hooked up at the same time. However this didn't work at all. Absolutely no sound came from surround sound system and the sound from my headset was distorted. Even when I cut off the connection to one of the devices, the other still didn't work properly (i.e. cut off the connection to the receiver but the head set still sound distorted, or cut of the connection to the head set and still no sound came from the receiver).
For whatever you want to use this for, make sure you thoroughly research into and make sure that it is going to work before purchasing.

Either I got a bad one or it's just not possible with the equipment i was using. I tested all my wires and everything works fine seperately but this little guy wouldn't allow me to run my Xbox 360 and my Toshiba HD-A2 HD-DVD Player co-existently. The design seems simple enough, but i couldn't even get it to split the signal the way it was meant to work. So maybe I got a defective unit. But it's not worth it to return it and pay for shipping on an item that was about 3 bucks and then 4 more for shipping. So I'm back to using my manual optical splitter from Radio Shack. Ten bucks and no hassles of not working.Digital camera Review: Disappointed

Bought this piece to connect outputs from two devices(Bluray player, HD media player) into my receiver which has only one optical input. It worked the first time, then stopped completely after I tried switching the devices. Tried powering down one device at a time, then powering down both, but still no luck. The only way to make it work was to unplug the connections and connect again! And the audio quality loss was significant even while it worked.
Going for a better switch :-(
