Aloy Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 (edited) So I bought a new monitor which doesn't have in-built speakers nor audio in or out, just HDMI/DP ports. It's connected to my PS5. What's the best and cheapest way to get audio out of this setup? Edited June 18, 2021 by Aloy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan_Hunt Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 Assuming there is no 3.5mm headphone jack in your monitor either, then you'd probably need some alternative audio routing device likes this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most cheap speakers on Amazon use 3.5mm input so I'll need a splitter with 3.5mm out, something like this: https://www.amazon.in/SaiRetail-Optical-Toslink-Extractor-Splitter/dp/B07H94D77V which is ~4.5K. I'm not aware how these weird S/PDIF/Optical connectors work. Is there a cheaper alternative, except headphones that is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then yeah, essentially, you'd need something that would split the HDMI audio from your PS5 and connect to your speakers. The link you posted has a perfect pictorial representation of how each input and output is connected appropriately, the second image specifically from the top shows you how the devices need to be arranged. I used to browse around eBay back in the day for these kinds of connectors and you'd really find some cheap and decent ones on it. Unfortunately, Amazon is a true rip-off hub for these kind of rare devices. Edited June 18, 2021 by Ethan_Hunt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add the expense of a decent set of speakers as well and you are looking at Ps5 wireless headphones territory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised that TVs and monitors these days are just doing away with basic audio out ports. I mean a headphone jack should be mandatory IMO. A lot of people still rely on them.

You can use a USB DAC with a 3.5mm out and connect your speakers to it. I'm using the Logitech GX Pro wired headphones which come with a USB DAC and it works with the PS5. The console will detect it as USB headphones, but you should be able to connect speakers with a 3.5mm connector to it and it should work fine. Not sure if this will work - but you try using those check USB C to headphone jack phone adapters if you have one handy. The above should definitely work, but the USB-C to heaphone adapters are 500-700 and a decent USB DAC (Creative/Logitech) will be about 2k Edited June 18, 2021 by psinide 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use my regular Creative 2.1 desktop speaker by having them plugged into the 3.5mm port of my monitor. The HDMI from the PS4/Laptop plugs straight into the monitor. My problem is that my monitor has 1 HDMI,1 VGA, 1 Display. Because I now use both laptop and PS4 with the monitor, I wish I bought one with 2 HDMI ports. Have to plug in and out every day.

You can use multi-HDMI input boxes, they come with a physical switch and are inexpensive. They will be good enough for 1080p gaming. The 4K passthroughs might be expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 (edited) Want to get my dad something for father's day. Any recs? I'm thinking of replacing his keyboard since my dad spends a lot of time typing. Please recommend a solid option. Will not be using for gaming, must be somewhat long-lasting. Preferably backlit, but no RGB needed! Edited June 18, 2021 by North Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
