It says it's only HDMI 1.3a, which technically doesn't support audio return. Do I need a separate audio cable to connect speakers?

there is no other audio in or out. i run my blue ray player to my audio receiver through hdmi and then connect my audio receiver to the projector through hdmi.

No. I have a single HDMI cable connected from the projector to my receiver.

No audio to projector...need to connect audio to reciever to your cable box, bluray player, and any other source media.

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.

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

your computer may not have this capability to send the sound through your HDMI cable. you can get a seperate sound cable for your jack in the back of the tv or get speakers for your computer. I use speakers on my computer.

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.

Use HDMI into your receiver and it will drive 7.1 speakers with no problems, assuming that your video is encoded for 7.1 sound.

Sound comes through any HDMI cable. You don't need a separate cable for audio.The answer is yes.

Check your settings and make sure audio output is set to displayport or HDMI instead of computer speakers.

Why do you connect audio separately? HDMI should be sufficient to give you both video and audio if you hook it up through a common receiver. At least it works in my case. Try that. Bob.

The card does support sound via the hdmi cable. I had to open my playback devices and set the default to 50 PCT3D-OE-3 NVIDIA HIGH DEFINITION AUDIO DEFAULT DEVICE

No additional audio connectors are required with the current HDMI cable. The only audio wires are those from the back of the unit to the speakers...and they are the type you strip the wires of insulation and then push into the connectors (like the old style).

first check if your speakers have an input digital for the cable because the sound card have an output digital (the digital cable comes with it) if not then you need the Digital to Analog Audio Decoder Converter - Transfer the DTS/AC-3 Digital Signal and Stereo(R/L) Audio Signal into 5.1 Analog Output, i had the same problem with this device my 5.1 speakers got the digital dolby surround sound, also i needed to configure on the system (program) the 5.1 channels (speakers) also the digital sound and i choose the dolby system. good luck

No but there is a solution. The audio output is via stereo jack or the hdmi. What I did to have 5.1surround through a n optical cable was to connect the hdmi audio/video out to an hdmi / sprig (optical) splitter. You get as an output the hdmi signal + optical audio. I am using the viewHD splitter and it works perfectly

I had to use a separate audio cable when I connected the HDMI and I don't know if that was a symptom of the projector that I was using or the cable. I'll test the cable on another TV to see if that works and amend this response.

you sure you don't have the cable in the audio pc/hmdi input (this connection is in "input 5" box, just above and to the right of the digital audio output; i believe this is the same connection type...) judging by the lack of picture instead of audio, that is my best guess anyway. someone correct me if i'm wrong (my tv is hanging and i cannot really see the connections), but i do not believe this device has a standard audio output (besides the headphone out)...

There should be an Audio plug, it is a seperate cable you need to purchase! If that doesn't work, try an adapter that has an audio/video splitter.
