I don't want to use the HDMI speakers on the monitor. Is their jacks and a USB Port on the switch so I can use external speakers

There's a USB port, but no jack on the switch itself. You should be able to divert the audio output on your computer to the headphone jack using the computer's audio controls. Hope that helps.

The cable for monitor speakers require an audio amplifier and gets it's output via your HDMI cable. There are no speakers in the unit.

You won't want to plug the speakers into the monitor, you'll want to plug the speakers into the device you're displaying.

You can definately add an external monitor that has mini hdmi. If you still have the older vga cable then no. It may be possible to get some sort of connector that allows you to swap down from VGA to mini hdmi, but I haven't looked and not doubt they would probably be quite expensive.

I don't see any USB ports, just VGA, HDMI, and the other one (optical?). They are pretty basic monitors but good for the price.

The DVI to HDMI conversion doesn't transfer sound. Other option would be to connect speakers for sound as the ones on monitor are not loud at all.

These monitors do not have built in speakers. If you connect them with an HDMI cable, then audio and video can be relayed through the one interface. The audio jack is to output audio carried by HDMI to separate speakers.

I didn't switch only the monitor, but I did not use all the ports/plugs. I did not plug in the speaker cords and the KVM worked just fine. When the monitor port became unplugged (because my laptop doesn't provide holes into which to screw the monitor port) due to jarring the laptop, the other connections were not disrupted. I'm pretty confident that you can switch only the monitor.

Yes, you just hook the monitor to the middle jack and the two sources to the outside terminals. Used mine to switch my computer from the monitor to the TV so I could see my slingbox on the TV.

No you cannot. There are RCA, 3-RGB, 1 S-Video and 1 HDMI ports, but no USB.

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.

it does not have built in speakers. you would have to connect speakers to whatever device you are connecting to the monitor separately

There are no external speaker outputs. There is an audio input. If you want to send an audio signal to this monitor and another source like external speakers, just split the signal before the input.

At the rear of the monitor, under the panel that protects the external connection points, is a connector labeled with the headphone symbol. I can only assume that you can connect external speakers to it, same as you would headphones.

Yes. Use your audio out jack for external speakers. The sound will be far better than monitor speakers also.

would be nice is the used USB power, then you could plug them in to a usb jack on your monitor

Not that I know of because I was looking for sound outputs for external speakers and there was nothing available
