what's the best way to get audio from a device connected

are you fucking retarded?

>>56035274
no

If you absolutely have to use the HDMI and can't just use the onboard audio or w/e, you can get one of these but they are REALLY expensive. https://www.amazon.ca/AGPtek%C2%AE-SPDIF-Audio-Extractor-Converter/dp/B00TOBFSTE

Just set your audio to come out your mobo's 1/8" jack?

>>56035518
it's not a computer. It's a shield tv

If it's still under warranty, get a replacement.

how do I know it's not intended behavior though? It's like a fuzzy sound in the background. It's a 130 dollar monitor, is that a problem?

Have you checked your TV songs to make sure there isn't some noise adjustment gimmick or something turned on?

actually the shield tv has a headphone port on the controller (yes I forgot) and it doesn't seem to happen there.

What's annoying is that it will automatically turn off the audio when nothing is playing in the background so the static in the background constantly goes off and on

Use the optical out and a dac or amp that supports optical. If your motherboard doesnt have optical out for some ungodly reason youll have to get a soundcard. The soundcard could /potentially/ solve the noise floor issues and allow you to just use the analog out on that, but theres no guarantee.

Shouldve read the thread before replying, derp.

Unless that thing supports audio through the usb port youre completely hosed. And even then it would likely still have the same issue.

The issue most likely stems from emi internally. Its a rare occurance on motherboards, but i could imagine it being significantly more likely on something custom like the shield.

Return it if you can.

The hdmi audio splitter posted earlier would still have the same noise issues assuming it is emi.

How would it also happen with that audio splitter? It doesn't happen through the headphone port on the controller and also doesn't happen with my laptop on a different tv so wouldn't the monitor be the issue? If so wouldn't taking the audio out before it gets to the monitor solve the issue?

Return it with the warranty, get another.

>>56037428
honestly I think Id rather get that audio extractor and bypass the problem entirely

That works too. Glad you found something to help OP
