hdmi out

Hello Leon,

Thanks for reaching out to the forums. We understand you are having issues with your HDMI. The HDMI out is for connecting to a TV or PC. All you need is a HDMI cable that connects to a TV with HDMI ports. What is your set up so we can assist you better.

Thanks,

Brad

will have to send it to repair

send it in for repair. How did you break the input? did it fall or did an animal pull on it or a little kid break it etc? Just send it in for repair or buy another console . The choice is entirely up to you most systems will be on sale since series x is
coming out

No. The only way you can get one is if your PC has an output for it like mine does. You would need a new motherboard for your PC if you wanted to do that.

Cheaper alternative is a sound card with an optical out port. More expensive option would be a receiver that has HDMI in and out along with an optical out. Don't need a new motherboard. Soundcard internal PCI or PCIe or external with an optical out are between
$30-80 and receivers with HDMI and optical out are I want to say around $200 for the low end, but an investment if you want to get a full surround speaker system to go with it.

Have two sound cards in my PC and the motherboard has on board so I have three optical outs and two in.
