LGWTP3 WOWCAST Wireless Audio Transmitter for TV to Soundbar Wireless Connection

Connection to TV, WIFI and phones works well. From technical page, assumed voice connection as well. Does not voice connect.+

If you get someone to install this well it is a great addition to your entertainment center.

So here’s the story, I have an Apple TV connected to a Hue synch box that’s connected to the sound bar to finally connected to the TV. This setup has been a nightmare to say the least. Screen would black out, I would lose audio, or delayed response time.The LG wowcast has solved all these problems! I am now enjoying my Hue lights effects and Dolby Atmos sound with maximum compatibility and ease of use. Cables to the TV are not completely eliminated as I do have to connect 1 HDMI cable from the Hue Synch box to the TV so (Apple-Hue-Tv). But that’s not a problem for me at all.Highly recommend this device, cheap, invisible and effortless to use.

Huge LG fan here when it comes to my monster flatscreen Web OS Smart TV or accompanied sound bar - both equipped with Dolby Atmos, not to mention the superior sound of the LG Tone Free T90Q earbuds (also w Dolby Atmos) w Spatial audio & head tracking technology.I used to enjoy their phones too. But this little gadget is spotty at best. Every time I could successfully get it to connect - good luck - it would eventually stop using the Wi-Fi signal and route to Bluetooth which then made this device totally unnecessary and really annoying.The whole point is to use a wireless connection for the audio utilizing Wi-Fi - kind of like a Google speaker pair - but I couldn't get it to function this way long enough to finish a single episode of a sitcom. It kept wanting to use the Bluetooth but by whole reason for buying this was to have the Bluetooth channel free for the LG TV dual connect feature so I could then connect to my Google Nest Audio speaker pair and have enhanced surround sound.I still do this and it works but because it's dual link I can only use the TV speakers or the sound bar speakers while connected to the other pair.Anyway, I even contacted LG for help but they couldn't figure it out because all my devices were on the list of compatible connections.I'm still an LG fan but this was a total bomb that really let me down.Not worth the effort.

Couldn't be easier. I bought this for use with a new LG 83" OLED C3 and S80QY sound bar (and rear speaker kit) to eliminate a HDMI cable from TV to sound bar. Plugged it into the TV, went to (sound bar) settings on the TV and chose "E-ARC" and the sound bar flashed "Wowcast" on its display immediately and the sound was back. Easy peasy.Why LG doesn't BUILD THIS DEVICE INTO THEIR TVs IS A MYSTERY.The only side effect I can see is that a message appears on the bottom of the TV for 5 seconds when you turn on the TV, saying "soundbar is now connected."

I bought this alongside the LG S90QY sound bar. Even though I had everything plugged in correctly, the WOWCAST kept blinking white. Also, my TV (also an LG) wasn't finding my sound bar as an HDMI ARC device. As a bluetooth device, the TV found the soundbar with no issues. I kept checking the cables, double checking (and even doubting myself) that I plugged this into the correct HDMI port (I did). Even though I downloaded the LG app, and it let me update the firmware on the sound bar, I wasn't getting anywhere.So, I finally just unplugged the power from everything, and then plugged it all back in. All better!Works like a charm now. Best audio I've ever heard? Probably not. Best for the money (bought it on 40% off sale) and considering it actually works, certainly.I had a Bose sound bar prior to this one, and despite everything I ever tried, including contacting Bose and LG it never worked through HDMI-ARC. And that was with a direct cable connection!! I'll never buy another Bose product again, for that reason specifically.
