Hi - I want to connect my new Dell Inspiron laptop to my desktop monitor - its an Advueu monitor with sound in it. Will this cable do it?

The cable I was sent was male to male on both the sound and VGA cable. As long as you are going VGA to VGA connector no problem.

I am not familiar with that monitor. Assuming it has a VGA connection the cable works great. Nice to have the audio jack incorportated. My cable of choice from now on.

VGA also known as Analog 15-pin mini D-sub. You should have like connection on both units. The connectors will have three rows of 5 pins. Each row off-set from the other. Both units should have a female connection for 3.5 mm audio cable for sound. (ear bud/ear phone connection for audio out) The Advueu monitor must have 3.5 mm IN connection.

Yes ..As long as both have VGA..terminals.this cable also has 3.5 mm audio cable for sound . Most new llaptops display automatically to a 2nd screen. You may have to go to Display settings to enable . Hope this helped..

I think it would. I have mine connected from my desktop to my smart tv and it works great. If they both have a VGA and audio plugin, I don't know why it wouldn't work.

JOrge, this cable worked for our computer to monitor set-up. It should not be a problem. All the best!

Unless you have some special speakers all computer spekaers and monitors will connect with the new and newer systems... you may have an issue with the monitor as most current systems have dropped the old VGA pin connector in favor a the new DVI/HDMI connections... so worst case you have to buy a cheap converter or invest in a new monitor... your eyes will appreciate that!

No, this won't work for you (the ports are reversed from what you want: your laptop must have an HDMI port, and your monitor must have VGA port).

Yes, hooking up this monitor directly to the HDMI port of your computer will carry the audio signal through and sound will be outputted at the monitor's built-in speakers. However, if your computer has a DVI port and you are using an adapter to turn it into HDMI, the audio signal will be absent and you will have to use a 3.5mm audio cable and plug it to the monitor's green-colored audio-in jack to get sound to come out of the monitor's built-in speakers.

Yes, if you laptop has HDMI port, you just need an HDMI male-to-male cable. If you laptop has a DVI port, you need to purchase a DVI-to-HDMI cable with DVI audio support (e.g. not all DVI cables support audio)

So far this cable is working fantastically for me.Your problem might be your laptops' settings. Make sure it's set to mirror your screen and not set to use a secondary display.

Hi Deborah,I have been successful with my hookup and audio. At this point I would make sure your laptop supports a direct HDMI connection and that you have changed your audio output in the control panel under whatever O.S. you have.Hope this helps.Also, in some situations, the audio is going to default to the laptop if the connection is a HDMI Input. You want a HDMI Output on the laptop.

Dear Rafa, Thank you for your question regarding our HDMI cable. The cable will work and deliver Audio out of your TV speakers from your desktop computer as long as your sound card on your computer is capable of doing so. Please contact us at service@bluerigger.com if you have any additional questions. Thanks, BlueRigger LLCservice@bluerigger.com

The monitor is a "slave" to your desktop/laptop and does have an hdmi port. If your desktop/laptop supports hdmi format you're ready to "plug & play" with this monitor.

What model of Dell Core i5 do you have? Does it have a DisplayPort or is it a mini-DisplayPort? Cable Matters also makes a mini-DisplayPort to VGA adapter. If your Dell does have a full size DisplayPort connector then this adapter should work fine to transfer a video display from the DisplayPort connector on your Dell to the VGA input on the presentation projector. You will need an ordinary VGA cable in addition to this adapter to complete the connection to the projector. Sound from the Dell will not go over this cable so you will need a separate sound cable if you want to transfer sound from your Dell to an external sound system for the presentation.

That is the purpose of this cable, so as long as your HDMI is female and your VGA is male, there shouldn't be a problem. I shouldn't have bought this connector because I do not have an HDMI port (at the time, my Dell Inspiron Mini docking station was on its way, and I mistakenly thought it had an HDMI port). You probably already know you can't plug an HDMI adapter into a USB port!

I use it to connect monitor from my laptop. My monitor has no audio so I couldn't say about audio.

It will only work if you have an RCA type connection or an adapter of some sort, most monitors have these, but few computers do

Not sure if ur laptop has HDMI connection, but If you are using DVI to HDMI connection from the laptop then you need another audio cable(stereo/RCA).

No. This only has an Audio "IN" on the back any kind of external speaker's will have to pick up audio from someplace other than this monitor. Your computer has an Audio output 3.5 or RCA component type you could set external speakers up there and turn the built in monitor speakers all the way down. That will work fine.
