[@Patrick-sf8yc]

A really simple easy way to get audio on your monitor without having to buy these accessories is to get a 2nd controller and plug the speaker's aux cable into that 2nd controller. Then boom. You have audio AND you don't have to deal with the annoying aux cable plugged into your main controller. I do this and I tuck away the 2nd controller under my desk so it is out of sight and it works like a charm. This method is great if you already have a 2nd controller at home but if you don't, then it's cheaper to just do the method shared in the video.

[@Dcthetruth85]

Thanks for the Tip very helpful.

[@trixsterjlable]

i can see this being useful. Using a bad controller as a portable audio jack could be very useful.

[@petercasnocha5340]

Can you explain in more detail how to do that?

[@trixsterjlable]

@@petercasnocha5340 You plus the speaker into a controller. It has to be on. Then you Use a micro usb cable and plug the conroler to a power source. you will need to power on that controller every time and have it set up to have both that and the one you are using work. An wala that wireless controller can run your sound.

How does this set up work with a gaming headset you plug in to your controller (wireless) Does the headset work or do you HAVE to use the soundbar or in my case logic computer speakers. I've ordered the adapter and speakers.

[@Dcthetruth85]

You can still hear sound from the gaming headset with or without this setup. In your case it would just be additional sound to your current setup if you got tired of wearing headphones, you would still have sound coming out of your speakers.

[@Smeds1]

could be a dumb question mate but will this effect the 120 fps or resolution in anyway?cheers

[@Dcthetruth85]

Great question,if you pick the wrong hdmi audio extractor it can. But I have the updated one in the Description. Basically make sure it supports 4k 60hz.

[@Alexander-vm2ox]

That is not a dumb question at all. It might. You’ll need a good adapter that supports the high speed 120hz 4K hdmi cable
