C4 Fan

My setup includes 4 TV locations (via HDBaseT) and several audio only locations. All of my equipment is in a rack away from all zones. For 3 of the TVs, I'm using ceiling or wall speakers powered by a C4 amp and for one location I have a Polk 5.1 passive soundbar powered by an Onkyo AVR. I have 6 video inputs (DirecTV boxes, Rokus, etc.) feeding into an HDMI matrix. In order to get sound to all of the locations I have to extract digital and analog audio from the sources. I've tried a J-Tech converter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08R6HCGVV?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 and it works for the most part but I would need 6 of these based upon my current setup. Current setup is an input (Roku for example), into the J-Tech, into the HDMI matrix, out to the TV, digital out from TV into the Onkyo. I'm just wondering if there is a better solution that would not require 6 converters. My current setup works for the most part although the J-Tech devices do not work with certain Roku Ultra models (they do not pass 5.1 audio, just PCM). That appears to be a defect with their device that they are looking into. Anyway, I'm just looking for suggestions on best practices for extracting the audio. Thank you for the help.

I would like to reiterate what others have said about the team at Coolabode. They are incredibly responsive to all of my requests (within hours ... sometimes within minutes including weekends and holidays). Previously I used a local dealer and response times were days if not weeks and I had to pay for home visits (travel time) when they said it was required. As long as you know your C4 components relatively well, I would highly recommend Andrzej and Kyle. They thoroughly reviewed my project, recommended some updates, and their prices are very reasonable. Feel free to DM me with any questions but I am extremely happy with the support from Andrzej and Kyle.

I'm considering updating my DirecTV system from DVRs to the new HS-17 (Genie 2) with the C61K clients. Does anyone know if new drivers are required or would the drivers for the DirecTV HR54 likely work? My current DVRs are connected via IR bugs. HC-800 controller. Thank you.
