Yo, with christmas coming up I've got the chance to fix an annoying problem I've got. I have my Wii U hooked up to a PC monitor which doesn't have built in speakers, so the sound I get only comes from the gamepad which doesn't really let me hear everything I normally would.

 

Is there any way I can plug certain speakers into the Wii U? Or just some way to be able to hear all the audio via some adapter or something? I'm really useless with stuff like this, so if you could perhaps find me something I could buy to fix the problem I'd really appreciate it.

Either hook it up to a TV or get headphones.

I don't have a TV, I wouldn't be having a problem otherwise.

 

Headphones plugged into the game pad also don't give me the sound for everything you would normally hear, only gamepad sounds - or is there a way to change it?

you need a hdmi converter adapter with audio out. I don't have one myself (only PSP to HDMI with audio out, and a scart audio adapter for Gamecube) but check out ebay.

 

You need something like this http://www.ebay.co.u...=item3396ef58fb

if your screen supports DVI.

 

Once you have a 3.5 jack or red+white to 3.5 jack then you're set.

Couldn't you just connect some speakers to your PC monitor?

Nope I can't.

 

Thank you Escobar, that looks promising.

Just curious why you don't have a TV. Seems odd to buy a console with no TV.

There are two ways to do it:

Option 1: Buy something like this, something like this, and something like this. The Wii U will output analogue audio out to the AV port while outputting vidio through the hdmi port. Then you just need a rca-to-3.5mm stereo jack to connect to cheap computer speakers. the video out port on the Wii compsite cable can be left unplugged.

 

Option 2: Buy something like this and something like this. You will again need the composite cable, which can be plugged directly into a TV soundbar or AV speaker system with RCA in. This will most likely be more expensive, but will have better audio.


TV's are too mainstream.

you're not wrong... Nowadays tvs have a lot of useless and redundant features that no one use and add complexity and instability. After thinking about it my preferred setup would involve effectively a large size monitor (or projector) with a surround-sound AV unit.
