Is audio supported through the HDMI input? Specifically, if my video card supports audio through HDMI, will audio work through HDMI on this monitor?

All HDMI ports and cables will carry both audio and video signals. That's the convenience of HDMI. One cable does it all. Although the monitor has speakers, I wouldn't expect any quality sound from them. They're very small and have no audio range whatsoever.

Yes, but the AUDIO quality on this monitor is VERY POOR, namely, the speakers do not put out very much volume. The VIDEO quality, however, is excellent.

The HDMI mini port transfers the same signal as normal HDMI ... HOWEVER, the HDMI port on a video card does not output sound unless it has a pass through audio connection to receive the audio signal from the sound device. I do not think that this model has one.

I have not tried this audio should come out with HDMI I wonder if you have to change sound output in control panel settings

Since it's HDMI to VGA, the VGA would not support audio by default.The HDMI does not interfere with the audio out on my MacMini.

That's dependent on your computer's graphics card. Most new computers have motherboards that support this feature out of the box otherwise you might have to get an after market graphics card to be able to get both audio and video through an hdmi

HDMI carries sound, audio cable not being switched. You need your audio to come from HDMI input.

Thanks for all the answers. Yes, with the VGA cable the sound works. If i use the HDMI i lose the sound.

It actually depends on the video card. Radeon 5000/6000/7000 series will carry audio over hdmi. The laptop most likely had the capability to display but not pass thru audio. I'm not too sure on which nvidia cards do it

It's a video cable for your monitor. So no it does not support audio. Even if your monitor has speakers, which I'd be surprised of those still exist, then probably no.

No HDMI also carries audio. You could invest in an optical for higher quality audio but that may by overkill for most.

I plugged in with a HDMI cable into my video card and it gave me the option to use the monitor through windows sound options. Did not have to do anything else to get that option. Sound is not so great but I love the monitor for the cost I paid a while back, under $100.

HDMI includes audio, that is what HDMI is all about (both video and quality audio). Typically 5.1 surround sound. GREAT !!!

I read that audio is not supported, BUT will the laptop/chromebook audio speakers still work or by plugging into the HDMI port it cuts out the audio of the laptop.

the hdmi can carry an audio signal from your video card, so games etc will play video and audio through the monitors' speakers, whereas, the DVI signal will only carry the video signal w/ no audio. both are indistinguishably great quality video though.
