Hey guys, so I recently found my old PS3 and when I went to play on it, realized my monitor doesn’t have any audio output or a jack. HDMI’s obviously handling video fine but I’m not getting any sound.
Is there a cheap/easy way to get audio out of this thing? I saw the PS3 has a separate optical digital out port on the back so does that work for getting sound to regular speakers or headphones, or do I need something specific for it?
Any recommendations appreciated, trying not to overspend on this lol.
