Chromecast, Monitor and HDMI Audio Extractor

Hey [H], I recently obtained (for free) a Dell 27" monitor. I don't really have a need for it as a PC monitor but I thought it might be nice to throw it in the kitchen as a small TV. I picked up a chromecast for it so I could stream stuff to it, the only problem is it has no audio. I did a little looking and I think that an HDMI audio extractor might solve the issue. I'd just need to add a small set of speakers to the setup.

Has anyone used HDMI audio extractors? I've never messed with them but at $26 it's not that big of a risk, thanks for any input.

This is the extractor I am looking at:

I haven't tried these either, but if you're going to buy cheap chinese crap then you might as well buy cheaper chinese crap

Haha! Hard to argue with that logic.

HDMI audio extractors are a bit of a mixed bag. I've used a couple in the past (one built into the switch, currently have a standalone one) and in both cases the Cromecast just plain wouldn't work. Not sure if that's the audio extractor or the odd setup i've got going on though.

my setup:
Devices -> 5 port HDMI Switch -> audio extractor -> reverse HDMI switch (one input, one of two outputs) -> monitor

I bought this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074HHSJVN/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 about a month ago and it works well.

I've used the Sewell Siphon on two TV's since August of 2016, and they're still functional. I can't recall having any issues with them via analog out or TOSLink passthrough to an HD Audio Rush decoder. Prior to that I had a set of Orei audio extractors, which would sometimes give me HDCP error screens, and flash the screens on hot summer days.

The audio extractor worked great, I bought the one in the op. I don't see any lag in the audio/video, worked smoothly, slapped a usb powered soundbar to the bottom of the monitor.
