Seperate the HDMI Audio

  IvanEBC

   Hiya Guys.
   I use real C64 and the Rpi3, but this was too cool to pass up and bought
   one. My issue is i use this is a PC room where i have monitors (not TVs)
   and the HDMI goes into the monitor but has NO speakers built in.
   For things like the pi - i use the HDMI out for video and the 3.5mm jack
   to carry audio to my room speakers. But this option isn't available with
   the c64 mini cause no 3.5mm jack.

   I'm looking for a cable where which works where maybe it has a HDMI/3.5mm
   jack on one ond of the cable to seperate the audio.. i see convertor boxes
   but 1> they need power and i'm already over doing it with power points),
   and 2> seems like overkill to change plug types when HDMI is fine.

   Anyone seen a cable, closest i've seen is this.
   EDIT: I think i found it if i can find it in stock, otherwie American site
   has it for $32 US - bit too much, but if anyone knows of another
   solution.....

   I can't help on the cable front but on a different note which isn't a
   cheap option...

   Some of the big names such as Samsung & LG incorporated TV features into
   their PC monitors. Go back 5-8 years ago and they will have every
   connection you ever wanted or might need including headphone sockets
   and/or RCA audio-out. A 1080p dedicated Monitor/TV will give you
   1920x1080. C64mini outputs 720p which looks more than perfect on a 1080p
   as you wouldn't want to roll back to a max res of 720p. [3];)

   Hi IvanEBC,

   I have a similar setup (Monitor without sound) - I used the following
   device to separate the sound - it works with the C64Mini, NES & SNES Mini:

   It needs a powersource (microUSB ).
   About €9 + €4 delivery to Europe

   Best,
   Alex
