monitor connections advice

Post by barryH »

I am using the dvi/hdmi output to my tv/monitor, but if I select the hdmi input i get no sound due to i believe the dvi has no sound connestions
I can get sound connecting fit audio output to component input on moitor
So it is an either or situation sound or visual any suggestions
would using the vga adaptor available for fit-pc then using the audio input on monitor that is coupled to vga work, waht are the disadvantages of using vga ?
Or ignore audio input on tv and buy standalone speakers
any thoughts ?

FitPC2 DVI output through an HDMI has no audio channel. Using FitVGA adapter is recommended for older display, which lack a DVI/HDMI interface. In most cases, VGA output is more then sufficient. So, if you don't want to buy a speakers, and another remote to control the sound, maybe the fitVGA adapter is a good solution for you.
Another option, is to check if your TV can be reconfigured to use an alternative audio input for an HDMI
