this is for mostly amazon prime, netflix, and siriusxm use (already subscribed to and currently used via browser on a pc).

needs to allow using 3.5mm speakers and have a button (not voice only) remote.

the user is a stubborn old guy who likes the speakers and monitor (it’s a big dell p-series 1080p, hdmi or dp available) he has on his pc now. doesn’t want to buy a tv or new speakers/soundbar and refuses to even consider an actual tv even though what he’s looking for amounts to a ‘smart tv’ experience.

are there any current options for a streaming stick or box that has 3.5mm audio output (not on the remote like some roku have for bundled headphones)? thank you.

    First, does your monitor have an audio output? Some do, and it will output the audio from the HDMI/DisplayPort input.

    If not, you could get an HDMI audio extractor (like this one) to split the audio out of the HDMI signal. Then you can get any streaming device that has an HDMI out.

    If your speakers are not powered and you are not married to your amplifier, you could buy an A/V receiver.
