If I have a media player with an HDMI output (in this case a WD TV Live but could be an Android box or whatever) and I connect it via HDMI to a computer monitor that has internal speakers, will sound come out? If so, where is the amplifier? I've looked at the specs for a cheap computer monitor and it doesn't say anything about an amp. Likewise, I am pretty sure that a cheap android box doesn't have an audio amp onboard. So what's the deal? I'm assuming if I used a cheap TV with an HDMI input instead of the monitor I am considering, that it would use the TV's amp. I feel like this is a pretty basic question but search engines did not get me an answer so maybe it's not been asked frequently. Thanks in advance.
p.s. The reason I asked is because I have an old WD TV Live which I want to continue to use, playing though an old portable tube TV and passing audio/video to the TV via RCA (actually composite) cables. The media player can be configured to send the audio and video via HDMI so I would like to switch to a better display device. |
