      Please some advice: I have a Samsung 2231 monitor.
      It has hdmi and audio out.
      Can I use this audio or is it recommended to use BT speakers?

        If you are satisfied with the audio out, use it. If not, there are many BT speakers to choose from. It really depends on the level of fidelity that you will be happy with.

          @Mykle1 , thanks.
          I did not try the audio yet (no speakers at home).
          Is the audio from the Samsung a lot worse than BT, you think?

            Not necessarily. Audio out can produce excellent sound with good quality speakers. However, you will be wired, whereas, BT is wireless.

              I would strongly recommend that you use audio out from the monitor compared to the audio out on the raspberry (it suffers from a lot of signal noise).

              Using BT makes it digital and you rely more on the hardware of the BT speakers/amp.
