VGA is only for the Visual section, if your laptop came with a Audio Jack, theirs many different kinds one is yellow and only one type of connection, and the other is a normal speaker jack that might work only if the TV has a connection for the speaker jack in the back of it...hope this works if all else fails go to your local Computer store and by an adapter specially made for conversion from the PC to the TV... best of luck

Vga is for the video. You'll need an audio cable for the video, Just like old computers pre-hdmi

VGA is video only, even though hdmi is capable of audio also, it can not transfer audio through the video only VGA cable. On my tablet, the audio played through the headphone jack of the tablet, while the video showed on the TV while using this adapter.

I connected my monitor to my video card and received no sound. I used external speakers I plugged into standard port on computer.

There is a headphone jack in the HDMI to VGA adapter. When you plug in the HDMI adapter to your computer the headphone jack of the computer will not work. The HDMI cores video and song signals.

Look at the number of inputs discussion. If your HDMI connections are not all pure HDMI-HDMI, then the "Digital Rights Enforcement Police" will prevent sound but not video from working. This could happen if your monitor is connected with a HDMI-DVI adapter/cable.

My guess would be a defective adapter plug, the mini to 1/4" converter. If it's not that, then it would likely be a defective unit or a damaged cable. Also make sure you are plugging it into the input, not the headset ;)

That's weird to happen. Sometimes when you hook the hdmi to the tv the sound is missing. Use one of these two options:1. Reset the PC.2. Go to sound properties and activate the HDMI. It might be that the PC has it like that and that will do it.Hope that helped.

A VGA port carries video only, not audio+video like an HDMI cable does. You'll need to run audio through a separate cable (usually through a 3.5mm headphone jack) no matter what adapter you use.

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.

I tried rca to vga and it did not work. I didnt bother to send it back. Figured it was worthless!

I have had the monitor for 2 weeks, but it is used constantly. I frequently attach or separate it from different PCs, and it has been both shut off completely--or simply allowed to hibernate. I have not experienced this problem of the audio failing to switch on with the monitor. I suspect that the monitor is choosing the wrong audio input and perhaps decoupling it from your video signal. Are you using HDMI (for both video & audio), or do you have a separate audio signal input? My guess is that if you use VGA, you should avoid leaving any source plugged into the HDMI port. Likewise, if you are using HDMI, use a newer cable that supports audio and disconnect the audio input at the back of the monitor. Does any of this make sense? Did it help?

There should be 2 VGA ports IIRC and an HDMI. Try it with a different monitor too!!

Audio is always seperate from a normal VGA Cable for most computer monitors. But this cable has a stereo audio cable built right in. Run it to your TV, projector, etc. and the audio can be sent right with it. For lengths of ten feet or less, audio will probably be fine. Adjust audio output levels on computer, be sure you're using the proper output jack (usually NOT the head phone jack!) On TV, etc., be sure you are using the correct input jack. If you hear audio hum or buz, check all connections, system settings. Be certain all equipment is well grounded. If buz or hum continues, you may need a preamp, or media system updates or up grades. Consult manufacturers, professional service technician. Audio is always seperate from a normal VGA Cable for most computer monitors. But this cable has a stereo audio cable built right in.

I just tried this and it does not appear to work (it could be my DVI to VGA adapter, but I don't think it's broken). You are better off buying a mini display port to VGA adapter.

Run HDMI cabling if possible; you will get better resolution. If you run VGA instead, you may need to run separate audio lines, but HDMI will transmit both video and audio on the same cable.

It has a mini-HDMI port and comes with a cable adapter from mini-HDMI to VGA port. You might wanna buy a new cable from mini-HDMI to standard HDMI port.

It doesn't have the VGA port. But if you can always use the HDMI. Make sure your computer supports transmitting "sound" to the HDMI port.
