Are you connected with a HDMI cable?Remember the standard RGB connector from a PC does not carry sound.

Hi,If you connected via HDMI you supposed to get audio form the tv. If no audio on tv , You need to configure your audio out, If PC right click the speaker or volume icon on the right bottom of the screen then click playback device. If you see the Samsung tv click and make it your default audio out.BUt if you connected by VGA you need an 3.5mm jack(headphone Jack) on both end and connect it at the back of the tv and you're pc too.

For the sound use the remote but there buttons on TV under lower bezel From PC you need a regular monitor cable and mini stereo jack for sound

There is a cable that came with your monitor, one goes in to the headphone jack on your PC, the other end goes into the connection labeled PC/DVI AUDIO IN

J. Jones, Sorry I didn't reply to this eariler.... but did you BUILD the computer yourself? If so did you attach the proper cable from the sound card to the video card to get the sound TO the video card? And if you did, DID you connect it properly? If you didn't build it yourself, did you crack open the case to see if the manufacturer installed thecable and did it properly, AND that it did not come loose in shipping? It's an internal cable, check your manuals. And check the cable itself if all else fails. It may be you've got a bad one.

No, it does not. The speakers I am using connect directly to the PC. This monitor consists basically of an LCD screen and base.

plug in an audio wire from the back of the pc to the back of the monitor. Audio settings are on the bottom left of the front panel. press the speaker button which is also the minus sign (-) and that will bring you to audio setting and where the input is coming from. GL

It's a sound cable. Most computers should have a little hole, sometimes colored green, where you plug it in to be able to hear the sound. It's a fairly small hole, depending on your computer it should be in the front, side, or back of your computer.

These speakers come with a power cable and a cable to connect to your computer. You will connect via a standard 3.5mm headphone jack. So if you can connect headphones, you can connect these speakers.

You would have to have a special cord that would connect from the PC to the speaker. We use this application on occasion. The cord we use is a mini plug to a quarter inch. You have to set the PC to mono or you will only get one side of the sound which doesn't seem like a problem but often times music and movies have vocals or instrumentals heavier on one side than the other. I hope this helps! Have a great night!

Yes you will need a audio cable also it is a VGA cable and will not support sound. If your computer has a HDMI port you could get a HDMI cable and it would have picture and sound in one cable.

Hi Jenna, While I don't find the sound quality very good the ways I've gotten sound are like this. If I am on my computer (windows laptop) I activate the "Pixpo Viewer" software. Usually I have my headset plugged in and it automatically will let me hear the monitor. I'm not sure however if it is reading the plug for the headphones and turning on the sound or if the sound is just always on. On my phone (iphone 4S) I open the app and when I have the picture I touch the outside of the screen, which then shows some icons around the border. Along the bottom is an speaker icon. If you touch that it turns on the sound. In order to broadcast (talk) through the monitor press and hold the microphone icon. The software is not at all user friendly, and help is pretty much non-existent. I would not buy this product again as it is not at all simple to set up or figure out how to use. There is a blue light on the camera that sometimes blinks continuously and sometimes doesn't blink at all and I have yet to figure that out or how to get it to send my a msg when it detects sound or movement. Hope this helps -

Jennifer, HDMI audio is often treated as a separate sound source. You may have to turn the volume up in windows sound settings. Also, you probably already know this: you need a cable for the audio out plug on the back that connects to your speakers.

I bought this for a daughter. She says monitor goes to sleep but you can still hear sound. But if you plug into power socket monitor will remain on. I hope this helps.

Mine came with a cable, but I didn't use it after I found that...A: It only worked when I had the unit "turned on" (not passive speakers).B: I can NOT imagine any situation where I would like to be using something loud (such as a firearm) AND want to listen to music or books on tape. Unless.. (and here I am thinking about it), I'm stuck up in a tree, waiting for a deer to walk by and using the volume increase to hear nature at a MUCH higher sound, AND have a need to play some iTunes or a book on tape cause I'm bored to tears.or..I want to put on some really great classical music and bounce through the air in slow motion while blowing away targets.

About headphone jack on the logitech z-2300 thx.I read here usually the people talk about Desktops...and they plug this to the sound card, but what about the people who have a laptop as a desktop? (my case)If you plug to the headphone jack (it come with this conector?) the quality sound will be the same one as when you plug it on a desktop sound card?Thanks.

It all depends on what program you are using. I purchased the garage band app, which is awesome. But i did come across the issue you are asking about, and in the Garage Band app, you have to turn on the monitor to hear yourself play. The ishred app that you get for free with the cable doesnt have too many options so i deleted it. Any more questions feel free to ask. But if the monitor function is on, and u still have no sound, then the cable may be bad.

Yes the monitor like most, has built in speakers. Simply plug in an audio cable between your computer or other device and the input in back of the monitor. The speakers are tiny of course but satisfactory for practical sound.

Yes, you can turn the sound off. Just go to the menu and hit the down button until zero bars are highlighted. My monitor completely turns off the sound and leaves the picture on (for a minute or two if it's not plugged in.)

Yes, press and hold down the set button while the monitor is off, and you can enter into the set up mode again. From there, keep pressing set until you reach the sound setting and adjust it using the memory button. Hope this helps!
