how do I get sound? doesn't make a very effective baby monitor if I cant hear anything.

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 -

hi-- yeah, I am seeing this as well, but I was able to press the "speaker" button and the sound comes back. it's really kind of frustrating, I am trying to figure out what to do about it as well.

No there is not any sound with this monitor, I have good speakers connected to my computer so it did not need sound.

I just bought this monitor and wanted audio too. What do I have to do to get audio?

I seem to recall you can through the menu. If I get a moment I'll check it out but there was an option,I think, that allows you to turn off the sound. I thought of turning mine off but decided to leave it on so that I know it's working.

There is no audio out available on the monitor that would support speakers.

I have not tried sound so I am really not sure. Sorry I can't be of more help.

no sound, just the humming of a little fan. I'm not sure you'd want it play sound anyway. that's my 2cents.

No. you can not. but why you need that for. teasing;-). you do not want your baby associate your voice with a monitor..

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.

yes, you CAN get sound, you just have to turn on the sound.... not sure about the motion detection.

no i ran across the same problem and forgot that dvi does not carry sound, only hdmi does. so you would have to find another alternative or use a separate cable for the sound

Yes, that's what we use it for. We use a separate, plug in baby monitor for sound. It's great!

Yes the audio will pick up any normal consistent sounds in the room (like a white noise machine) and then tune that sound out. It will only come back on after that when the baby makes a sound, or it picks up on anything outside of the 'normal' room sound.

I used hdmi. Get the latest hdmi because some old hdmi won't output the sound.

I am having the same problem. After pushing the sensitivity button, I can hear out of the baby's room, then the unit mutes after a few seconds. Not quite sure if this is a battery saving feature...I always have mine plugged in next to my bed! It does go on when there is noise in the baby's room. I thought perhaps there was a reset button on the parent unit. Perhaps changing the battery will help. I guess it's time to refer to the owners manual. :-)

Hi Donna. Are you looking for improved volume or clarity? You can probably tinker with the sound options on the menu screen. Otherwise, you may want to get what Phil and Rodney suggested - a dedicated sound system.
