Say I want to hook up a VGA and a HDMI cable to this monitor, Is there any way to have the sound come out of a output and into speakers?

Hi - Let's clarify something right away. Do not use VGA & HDMI cables from the same source at the same time. Just remember that what ever source you feed this monitor with an HDMI cable will be the one that sound is applied to the headset jack on the back. Anything else, you will have to hook up your speaker system straight to the source unit ( PC-Game unit - video feeds ) Hooking up directly to the source unit will generally give you the best sound anyway. If you have more than one feed to the monitor, it has a switch to select which one you will receive at any given moment. The HDMI feed will be the only one that sends sound to the monitor headphone jack, and you can plug a sound system into this jack or just headphones. - Good luck and enjoy! - Jim T.

I connected my monitor to my video card and received no sound. I used external speakers I plugged into standard port on computer.

it will let you switch from a DVI on your computer to HDMI on your monitor but you will not get sound if your monitor has speakers

There is NO analog audio out on this monitor. It does, however, have a DIGITAL audio out (coaxial). There MAY be a way to take this and convert it to stereo line out. You can find such a unit at http://www.amazon.com/Digital-Optical-Coaxial-Toslink-Converter/dp/B007S6U7I4 . Just use a digital audio coaxial cable to go from the digital out from this monitor, and hook it up to the input of this box, attach a DC power supply, and hook the outputs to a line input on an amplifier. Today's PC speakers take line level signals. With some adapters, you can connect the output of this box to the input of PC speakers. This would probably get around HDMI related woes. With HDMI, video and audio are routed TOGETHER. This can be a mess if you want to route your sound to good speakers or even a good stereo system. By the way, the Emerson monitor that I have is another one that I bought previously. When I ordered another one, there was only one left, and it got damaged. I was given another brand and model for the same price. From John Nozum

No. This only has an Audio "IN" on the back any kind of external speaker's will have to pick up audio from someplace other than this monitor. Your computer has an Audio output 3.5 or RCA component type you could set external speakers up there and turn the built in monitor speakers all the way down. That will work fine.

Sound comes from the computer, not the monitor. Plug your speakers into your computer.

For VGA cables yes, because VGA is only for video, you'll need to send audio via another cable. You'll need the audio cable

Likely your monitor won't have component (red and white) ports (like 99% chance), but a simple converter can convert them to 3.5mm audio. You can find a very cheap converter online.

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

This computer has a built-in sound capability but you still must have external speakers, either built-into the monitor or separately attached. Separately attached speakers connect to the mini-speaker port on the back of the unit, the green port. If your speaker has built-in speakers, and you use an HDMI cable, sound should come from the built-ins. This assumes that sound is enabled in setup and the volume is up high enough to be heard.Hope this helps...

Yes, just plug the sound cord into the headphone plugin in the computer and the VGA cord into the computer plugin. You can also attach the sound cord to a set of speakers the same way.

No DVI isnt capable of handling sound, but there is an HDMI input so im not sure why youd use that cable.

There are audio out jacks on the back of the monitor. I simply ran a wire to my stereo amplifier. I believe you can plug in a speaker bar if you prefer that. (or don't have a hifi system)

I assume you can, the monitor has connections for VGA, DV-I, and HDMI. I was very disappointed in the resolution, but connecting it was easy enough.

You need the convertor adaptor to do so.....I done it before for HDMI, but never try VGA.

VGA does NOT support audio...use a separate cord from the computer audio to the tv, etc. I purchased a vga cable that has an extra plug on the end...but had to get an extension to reach the speaker on the computer.HDMI DOES support audio...if you can use that and throw away the vga.

Yes but it will need to be through hdmi. The monitor also has no speakers so you will need to use headphones or some other means of listening to the audio.
