Hi guys,
I bought a new Samsung TV the other day; it has RCA input but no RCA output.
I have some wireless Sennheiser RS170 headphones that connect via headphone jack or RCA output. The headphone jack works fine but mutes the tv speakers, so every time l'm not using them have to remember to unplug them (on the back of a 46" tv!)
However, connecting via RCA, I can leave them plugged in and works ok.
Anyone know how I can get RCA output on the tv, if at all? I seen some scart to RCA output adapters, would this work?
Cheers.
Owen.
if you had a receiver amp you could plug the rca in to that, or I believe if the TV has an optical output (should have) you can get a converter to change the optical out to an rca. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0074JZ8ZW
sorry to say but most new TVs only have an optical out these days to run audio to a sound bar or amp.
you can get a two rca to a 3.5mm jack plug which would fit in the headphone socket of the TV but you would likely have the same prob of muted TV speakers.

Okay so I'm planning on buying a new monitor. the ASUS MS238H and it has a 3.5mm hole that says "For HDMI" and a HDMI port. I was planning on hooking my xbox 360 up to it, and I want audio for it and my PC so I was thinking could I plug a 3.5mm cable from my speakers AUX port to the monitor and have it work, or do I need to split the audio coming from the speakers main cable for it to be able to work with my PC and XBOX360. Please anything will help.
Verify the specifications on both devices ... I seem to recall reading somewhere that audio can be transferred over the HDMI cable. I suggest doing a quick Google search on:
hdmi audio xbox360
HTH,
the hdmi cable should have audio built in.
Is it a hdmi to hdmi video + 3.5mm audio?
i dont think they do them put id try searching for hdmi to hdmi video + phono (l r) audio and get a converter

well the monitor doesn't have built in speakers that's the problem. The monitor has a plug that says "for hdmi" and it's a 3.5mm plug, and I have speakers with a AUX plug and I plan on plugging in my 3.5mm cable to the monitor through that. So I was wondering if it works.
Have a look at the the following XBOX360 accessory:
http://www.xbox.com/en-US/hardware/x/xbox360hdmiavcable
The Xbox 360 HDMI Cable provides gamers with separate audio and video connections via the included Audio Adapter. The Audio Adapter allows HDMI video to be routed to the HDTV with the audio routed separately to the home speaker system. Without the Audio Adapter the video and audio signals are both carried by the HDMI cable. This means users without an HDMI receiver (new/costly) must listen to their Xbox 360 game and movie audio via their TV speakers.

So the monitor has the hdmi in then a 3.5mm socket out for audio?

In the midst of downloading the manual for the display ... I suspect the 3.5mm jack is audio out for mini-speakers.
* EDIT *
Well ... the manual is a Quick Start fold-out which doesn't provide much more info than what is posted on their site. The fold-out indicates that the ports on the back are 1) DC-IN, 2) HDMI-IN/DVI, 3) VGA, 4) Earphone - Out. Based on the limited info presented, I suspect that the audio/video is carried through the HDMI cable and port #4 could be used for a headset or mini-speakers.
Best thing would be to call ASUS up for confirmation before making the purchase.
I have a similar setup running on my screen and a set of speakers and a ps3. The way i did it was to send the video over HDMI and then the audio over a RCA connection. This meant that i can have clear audio.
If you do it over HDMI then Headphones, you meet the asus monitor amp (wont be great) i personally would suggest buying the adaptor that outputs RCA and digital optical, that plugs into the old standard component port on the back. Will be much easier and also you will not have audio levels controlled in 2 places.
I wanted to do it similar to you but i wanted a proper aux out to my speakers, no such monitor in my price range exisits at least or really needs it tbh.
Yeah thanks for all your help. I decided to buy a different ASUS monitor with built in speakers. Didn't want to go through the hassle of setting everything up.
This applies to all mini usb phones, but I needed it for my Focus, so I thought I'd post here. My VW Jetta came with an Ipod jack, but I don't have or want an Ipod. I finally found a cable that will go from the Focus' s headset jack to the Ipod plug at Grom Audio. It's the iPod input converter to regular MP3 plug (iPod female to 3.5mm plug cable) 4FT (C-IPD2JK). Only $14.75. Now I can listen to my Zune tunes in my car.
It also works with any Ipod accessory radio or speakers etc
Owning a Samsung Series 5 LCD TV, I've wondered how to get it working with Edifier R501 as there's only 3.5mm single/triple output. Is there a 3.5mm to SPDIF converter or RCA or anything that I didn't know of or missed in Google search directory?
3.5mm plug to RCA is a very common item, if that's what you're looking for?
Nonononono... The TV doesn't have any RCA line in for 5.1 surround speaker. Therefore, I'm just using the stock 3.5mm jack, resulting only 2.1 output. Didn't have time to go out for electronic shop. *sigh
Hello all,
I am having an HDMI IN to DVI converter on my monitor, and I am unable to buy HDMI to DVI with Audio converter right now.
Is there any way where I can get the audio from 3.5mm jack/phone speaker instead of HDMI itself? The reason is audio signal is lost when we convert HDMI to DVI.
If you have a speaker system with an External source, plug it in there. Alternatively, you could plug it into the Mic port and tell Windows (Which I assume you're using!) not to mute any of the input.
I have a speaker system, can I plug it in the 3.5mm jack output of my phone and at the same time use HDMI as a video source? I thought when using HDMI port, the 3.5mm jack audio of the phone would be disabled.

it should work cause the HDMI audio is intented as the speaker of the phone then plugging in the 3.5" jack it should switch to it...
My Samsung UN32EH4003FXZA HDTV has NO Audio outputs & no BT. I knew this. Now I want to use my BT headset. And will the picture remain since the VGA connector won't be used?
I bought a Anker Wireless Bluetooth Stereo Transmitter and Audio Receiver 2 in 1 Adapter.
http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E174RTS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Uses a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cord. Wasn't thinking right thought I could connect this to my HDTV. I can't, directly anyways.
Did a bit of research. I want an inexpensive solution. Can I use a HDMI Male to VGA with 3.5mm Line Out Audio? Here's two I'm looking at:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/251744316365?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
http://www.ebay.com/itm/381114657643?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Will one or both send Stereo sound to the Anker Wireless Bluetooth Stereo Transmitter and Audio Receiver? Again eBay items 251744316365 & 381114657643.
If either of these won't work. Are there any ~$20 USD & under solutions? I can return the Anker BT Transmitter if needed.
Edit: Just bought a 1.5ft Premium 3.5mm Stereo Male to 2RCA Male cable by Monoprice through eBay $4.52 otd. Looks a lot better than the other cheap cables for less. Connecting it to my cable box.
Yeah those 2RCA to 3.5mm cables come in quite handy sometimes.
What I usually do is to plug it into our family's 15-year-old sound system and connect the 3.5mm into our phones when we have friends over. Decent solution when I don't have the CD, or want to play the latest tunes, or don't want the TV on to Chromecast youtube
Awesome! Bob's my uncle.
Translation: It works.
