Why does my monitor have no audio in, and how do I hook up speakers for sound?

Sound comes from the computer, not the monitor. Plug your speakers into your computer.

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.

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

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

you should be able to get audio thru hdmi, the audio chipset is Realtek ALC269. Here is more information on it http://www.realtek.com.tw/products/productsView.aspx?Langid=1&PFid;=27&Level;=5&Conn;=4&ProdID;=166

what u can do is insert your driver disk that comes with the mother board. Do not choose auto install every thing. the scroll down the list of drivers and choose the audio driver and install it.

nope, nothing to do with the monitor, it's just that dvi does not support audio.

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.

Sound may not work unless you go into control panel in Windows and change the default sound device to the newly attached monitor.

I agree with the other answers, HDMI plays sound to the speakers on monitor, as some reviews say speakers are not the greatest but they are fine for my use.

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.

No speakers on the monitor, so I am using separate ones. But I do love my monitor!

I plugged in with a HDMI cable into my video card and it gave me the option to use the monitor through windows sound options. Did not have to do anything else to get that option. Sound is not so great but I love the monitor for the cost I paid a while back, under $100.

You should be able to use a DVI cable with the audio cable giving you sound and picture I had the same problem and it worked for me.

This computer has a built-in sound capability but you still must have external speakers, either built-into the monitor or separately attached. Separately attached speakers connect to the mini-speaker port on the back of the unit, the green port. If your speaker has built-in speakers, and you use an HDMI cable, sound should come from the built-ins. This assumes that sound is enabled in setup and the volume is up high enough to be heard.Hope this helps...
