Hi
Currently using PC-1 via straight HDMI to a desktop monitor (not a TV).
I am presuming that the audio for the PC-1 is fed down the HDMI as a digital signal. My desktop monitor only has HDMI video -- so no sound. What are my options for getting sound out?
(1) Split off the audio from the HDMI at source (adapters available circa £20) -- this usually feeds them to 3.5mm plug
(2) Can I simultaneously use the composite / audio plug on the PC-1 and just connect up the audio jack?
(3) Is there any way to connect a "cheap" mini speaker direct to the board?
(4) Use a monitor with HDMI video and audio
Am (as always) thinking about education use case. I presume the simplest is (4) and just use a decent monitor with built in speakers?
I will probably go for (1) in the short term as the device is sat on my desk and this is cheaper than a new monoitor.
Is (2) an option -- can I use HDMI and the Composite outputs at the same time?
Cheers
Glen
