Yeah, they are just bad speakers, if you want anything other than basic sound you will have to get a little computer audio system.

I haven't heard any low noise from the monitor's internal speakers. I agree with the other the internal speakers are pretty tiny and don't produce very good sound. I just used some old BostonAcoustics theatre speakers I had laying around.

Yeah, I think the speakers on this are just really weak. I ended up just getting a sound system because the audio quality of this monitor was so bad.

I think the sound hardware is integral to the mother board. When I had the box open there was no sound card that I could see. As to what the chip set is please ask HP that. Any sound is likely to be low end. My wife used the machine and she is not a critical listener. She understood it was low end and was satisfied with that. I didn't intend to answer until I thought a bit about it. Hope this helps.

it has a loud hum . I grounded the units directly to the Case of the Computer. It reduced the hum significantly. I replaced both units just last week because these are pretty much junk in my opinion.

I figured out a/the solution. When you plug the sound cable into the sound jack for your computer you also need to plug an auxiliary cable into the audio out port which is located on the same side as the hdmi out. Once you have plugged the aux cable into that end you need to look for the PC/DVI audio in jack on your television and plug it into there. Once you have done that the sound will go through. Hope this helps.

Try using a different aux cable. I have had that issue before where I had a mono aux cable. I had no idea there was a difference. That's the last thing I can really think of.

I have two pairs and both had a humming sound when plugged into AV receivers. The humming sound was much lower when plugged into the high-end AV receiver.

i've never had that problem but i rarely use my laptop for audio i put all my music on flash drives then import it to my playstation 3 so i can use a fiber optic cable and upsample to 176.4 k it sounds amazing, much better than my laptop and a usb cable. by the way have you tried pangea audio's usb-AG cable? it has silver cables and sounds really good and it's not that expensive

Try putting a barrier between the audio or speaker cable to your power cables. Or don't let both cables, run side by side for it will create interference, such as distortion noise. Using a power conditioner helps a lot.

I had the same issue. The original power cord created a bug, so I used a power cable that came with one of my effects pedals and it worked. No noise at all

You need 'line level' not 'mic level' inputs on the PC, otherwise the signal will be way too strong and, thus, distorted (mic output is much lower than line output). Most basic PCs, especially laptops, have 'mic in' and not 'line in' (the laptop I'm typing this on right now doesn't even have a 'mic in'). If you have a soundcard with 'line in' inputs, then you could do it. Having said all that, it might be possible to adjust the signal with Audacity using 'mic in', so that it doesn't distort, but I am guessing. I just know from using Cakewalk (precursor to Sonar) in the old days that it didn't work like that. You could try it and report back on your experience, good or bad.

I think it requires a different cable. I plugged an auxiliary cable into it, and it would not play sound through my subwoffer.

I didn't notice a sound difference. There are other part of my computer that are louder like my external hard drives.

With the specs of the asus monitor it should work I would try it with another pc if you have that option but 3.5 mini jack is what the monitor has and the hp pc uses that same jack so as long as the sound is turned on everything should be compatible

It must be the way it is connected, mine is connected to a hp computer and does not do that.

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

I had the same issue while using the D5, after asking a technical expert I found that moving the cables out of the opening behind the Mac and routing them down and into the D5 the noise was greatly reduced.

You would have to have a special cord that would connect from the PC to the speaker. We use this application on occasion. The cord we use is a mini plug to a quarter inch. You have to set the PC to mono or you will only get one side of the sound which doesn't seem like a problem but often times music and movies have vocals or instrumentals heavier on one side than the other. I hope this helps! Have a great night!
