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.
Most amps expect line-level audio anyway, so you should be fine. I’m surprised the already amplified “headphone out” into the amp didn’t sound horrible.
I just got my new monitor installed, and you were quite right, it just worked fine, thank you!
Good deal!
Sorry, I forgot to thank you for putting me at ease.
Have a great weekend!
It has been great, I have just run the amp on a low volume.
And I just realized that I have a record player with a line out that I can test it with.
