    The built-in speakers in the Samsung also require an NF amplifier. Flexradio only outputs an NF signal for amplifiers.

    If you use smartsdr, the sound comes from the PC anyway.

    If you work with maestro, you can connect the output of the Flexradio to the mic input of the PC and connect the speaker output of the PC to the 27" monitor.

    Hi Klaus, If you use SmartSDR you can get the audio form the back of the radio or from the PC depending on the PC Audio button.

    That's correct, but the question was whether he could connect it to the 27" monitor.
    But he didn't say whether he works with Smartsdr or Maestro.

    OK, then that's no problem.
    Your PC has an audio connection to the monitor either via HDMI or with an NF cable from the PC to the screen.
    In the Windows sound manager, set the Samsung monitor as the default audio output, then click on PC Audio in the top right corner of SmartSDR and adjust the volume if necessary.
    That should work.
    If your PC only has a TTRS connector (4-pin) for microphone and speaker, you will need an adapter that splits the microphone and speaker into two separate 3.5 mm jack sockets.
