Confirming audio from HDMI will pass through SPDIF to RCA

[duragodoug]

I'd like the audio from my XBox One to pass through my Asus VH242H monitor and into my Bose Companion 2 Desktop speakers. Here's the connection breakdown: XBox One connected to VH242H via HDMI: Audio passes through monitor to SPDIF (Coaxial) out: then, it will run out to RCA (L and R speakers) input on Bose Companion 2 desktop speakers. Question 1: Will this work? Question 2: What do I need to connect the SPDIF (coaxial) out to the RCA in? Specific adapter models and links would be greatly appreciated! Thank you all for your time.

Your monitor has a digital coax out but no rca or 3.5mm?

Correct: unfortunately the only audio out connection is SPDIF. All other connections are 'in'.

Hello,

For stereo, check this:

Just be sure the audio output is in PCM format.

Thank you Boosted1g!

And thank you for the feedback Cristi72. Question for you though: How do I confirm the audio output is PCM format?

You guys are great!

If you use a converter like this one:
http/www.parts-express.com/parts-express-digital-to-analog-converter-%2851-compatible%29--180-999
it will work with 5.1 sources too.
