AOC q3279vwfd8 Audio Question

[wlandry01]

I just bought the referenced monitor and have it connected to my PC using HDMI. There is a headphone jack on the monitor. Since the only audio input to the monitor is via HDMI is it correct to say that the AOC output to the headphone is higher resolution than the headphone output on the PC?

What I'm thinking here is that HDMI bypasses the PC audio circuitry in a manner similar to using USB outputs and USB DACs to bypass PC audio.

It just means that the display has its own digital audio converter built in. it's likely no better then the one on your motherbd. Try both and see which one you prefer.
