Hello Everyone. I've got a mac mini that's a few years old, running logic pro x latest version on it. I've had to upgrade my OS a couple of times to run the latest versions and that has knocked my headphone port out a couple of times, but I seem to have found a fix, or workable solution anyway. My main concern is that the port will quit functioning and I won't be able to send audio to my monitors for playback/mixing. Currently I have to use a couple of adapters to run from the 1/4 inch stereo out up to two 1/4 inch cables for the monitors and this seems unstable and may be hastening the demise of the output on the mini. Am wondering if I can just hdmi to a video monitor and run sound out of that to the monitors (seems like the fidelity would be compromised by the video monitor's I/O interpretation) or if there is any other viable solution. I can't afford a new mac and sure hate to not be able to use it for recording over something so seemingly simple. I'm more of a musician than a technician so please advise if any more information is needed. Any and all advice is greatly appreciated!
