Can I connect my PS3 to a monitor and output sound elsewhere?

Can I connect my PS3 to a monitor and output sound elsewhere? - Black Headset on Table

I want to connect my PS3 to my monitor instead of my TV. When I searched this, I read somewhere that you can only connect the PS3 to a monitor with speakers and HDMI cable.

Is that true? Does the PS3 has no direct sound output for connecting to other speakers or headphones? Or, if I use a monitor with speakers but no HDMI input (via a converter), would I lose sound that way or not?
