Okay, this is my first time at aD in a loooong time, so bear with me here... First, the setup: 1 Intel OptiPlex SX260 CPU 1 PS3 1 Asus VH236H widescreen monitor Video: The Intel is hooked up to the monitor via VGA, and the PS3 through HDMI. Audio: The Intel is hooked up to two stereo speakers through regular minijacks, and the PS3 sends the audio data to the monitor via HDMI. The Problem: I want to hook up headphones to the monitor. The stereos in the monitor, not surprisingly, suck. The only audio ports, though, are an audio-in minijack and a SPDIF output jack. I've been reading online, and the only major solution seems to be to buy a digital-analog converter to go from SPDIF to analog. I'm really not looking forward to spending more money on a converter, even if it's just a few more bucks. But is this the only way to go? And if it is, then what type of converter would you suggest I get? I just need something for my headphones. Thanks a lot, all. EDIT: Duh, me. There's a headphone jack hidden behind the audio-in port. I is stupid.
