My question is about the speakers..... do we need to get HDMI speakers or will standard computer speakers work?

There is no standard audio out except HDMI. I suppose the whole purpose of this unit is to be hooked up to a TV.

HDMI sends sound to monitor and mine has internal speakers, so it works that way. USB speakers work fine, if you don't have that kind of monitor

Either your monitor needs to connect via hdmi and have speakers, or you will need a usb sound card or hdmi speakers...

This particular model does not have have an analog headphone output, so you will not be able to use standard set of computer speakers with an 1/8" connector (ex. headphone jack size).If you're hooking this up to a TV or receiver with an HDMI input this will work great.If you need the analog output, the new versions of the NUC include an analog headphone output that will work with standard computer speakers.

I just don't recall there being speakers built in...I was using separate external speakers at the time I owned this display. If sound is important to you, buy a pair of external speakers or headphones for your computer, which would certainly be far better than any built-in speakers in your computer or monitor. Also, be aware that the ports on the back of this monitor do not support current high-speed data transfers.

if the tv has a usb connection its more than likely for a computer connection I have not personaly tried a computer to tv via usb but a computer to tv via hdmi cable will send sound to the tv worth trying if your dying to use this speaker setup but i can tell you with all the adio equipment avialable to check in to somthing more sophisticated suck as a sound bar wich is more user friendly and or maybe invest in a sound converter

I play my projector thru my computer. My computer is capable of surround sound. I just tell it to pump the sound out thru the computer instead of the hdmi.

Any good quality speakers will work fine. Any good quality speakers will work. I would suggest speakers that sound the best to you.

Yes, you may want external speakers. The speakers are O.K. But, sounds tinny.

The driver package includes the HDMI Audio drivers. You need to set that up in the Control Panel > Sound; as the default device.

Good luck I wish you the best! The speakers do sound great! I just hooked them up to my computer and use them with it.

Hi Lou,I agree with Jeremy's response. I would like to add that it all depends on what your laptop has as well. The great thing about HDMI is that a single cable will give you both the audio and video. VGA will work just fine too (it's what I use) but just remember a separate stereo cable will be needed from PC to TV for sound.

It uses your standard cable that plugs into a computer monitor( most people associate this as the blue ended cable). If you need sound you will need speakers if your laptop isn't loud enough. You can even hook up a VCR or DVD player, game system etc.. As long as you have a sound source for these to get plugged into. I have a set up so my xbox, pc and other things go into this projector and into a surround sound system so that I get loud enough sound. If you use this or any projector in a small room crank your ac down a few degrees or get a fan to point out the door or under the door too keep the hot air to a minimum or you will be cooking. Also this is will not do any HD stuff just basic standard definition stuff. It's a good projector, not the best, but good.

DVI doesn't send sound like HDMI. Have to have external speakers hooked directly up to the source. Had the same exact issue, unfortunately had to get a cheap pair of external speakers.

yeah but its just a monitor so there will be no sound coming from it. you have to use an external source for the sound. oh for the hdmi you can just buy a $5 adapter from walmart or some other place. disregard my last comment!

I doubt this will be much help, but I own these and have never needed cables for them. Ever. If your computer has the necessary outlet you should be good to go for headphones, etc. My brother owned a set and I saw how nice his sounded and decided then I could really use a better sound speaker for my laptop - I wish they could work with my TV as well! I hope this helped you somewhat. I found these to work very well and they were a welcomed change. Hope you enjoy yours too!

we use speakers intended for a PC and they are work fine for us. We have a relatively small conference room though.

Not sure. Monitor has no speakers, usually speakers are attached to the computer and have their own volume control. I never had occasion to check the monitor for audio control. Might also be controlled from the keyboard.

You will need right and left RCA plugs into the speakers with a 1/8" connector into the computer. Same as most computer speakers. You can get the cord on Amazon, Radio Shack, Best Buy, etc.

yes the make addapters, but not all handle sound. Just search hdmi s video.
