I am about to take delivery of a new monitor, a Dell Ultrasharp U2724D, and I have a question about the audio…

I know this sounds confusing, but hear me out…

I built my computer a few years ago, sadly the audio broke a few days later, I first the rear output stopped working, then I used the front output and a few days later the cable I used caught my chairs armrest and my computer fell on it’s side, during this the headphone jack broke.

I currently use the headphone out on my Philips monitor and run it to a generic noname analog amplifier to my Roth Audio OLi RA-1 speakers, this works fine, but there is an issue with the new monitor.

It does not have a headphone out, but a line out.

Would you expect a generic amp to work with that?

I bout the amp seven/eight years ago at the Swedish chain store Kjell & Company, it is labelled “Roxcore A32” and has two RCA inputs at the back.

I have no idea about this.

    If your video card supports HDMI, the audio should be carried over that. HDMI is video+audio.

      Oh I use Displayport to run the audio to my monitor, it has worked great.
