Wow, I just Googled that & was amazed!  Someday even frugal Luddites like myself will have no excuses not to be 3D printing! :beer:

Dickey, Upping the ram to 48 Gb, adding a fast graphics card and an extra Xeon cpu made an enormous difference to the ease of use. Before that it was quite flakey and kept loosing where it was, now that rarely happens  :thumbup:

Skanect is the software I use - quite amazing.

Well Amazon delivered that little gizmo:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Adapter-Upgraded-VicTsing-Gold-Plated-Converter/dp/B016I34422/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1498505426&sr=8-1&keywords=hdmi+to+headphone

Sadly when plugged in it blanks the two monitors and I can only recover by rebooting without the adaptor  :bang:

So as an experiment, having got myself an HDMI cable, I temporarily stole the small TV from my wife's motor home (Shush ..... ) which has HDMI input, and successfully plugged it into the same HDMI port the the  gizmo failed in, and ended up with it as a third monitor AND SOUND  :ddb:

Thus proving not only that the HDMI port on the graphics card is OK, but also that the audio output from it works.

I think that the correct solution is to try and source an HDMI equipped 24" monitor with internal speakers, meanwhile the motorhome Telly has been snuck back  :lol:

If you don't need the extra resolution that a monitor brings, the cheapest way to do that is almost certainly to buy a no-brand 1920x1080 TV... Some half decent looking stuff on eBay for less than £100...

I've got a 'best offer' pending on an Iiyama ProLite B2483HS 24 inch LED Monitor on eBay - we'll see what happens  :med:
