How do I turn the sound on? Do I need special cables to connect the monitor to the PC? The monitor makes a sound only when turned on/off but otherwise I have to listen to my music through the headphones plugged in the PC.

Hi, If you connected via HDMI you supposed to get audio form the tv. If no audio on tv , You need to configure your audio out, If PC right click the speaker or volume icon on the right bottom of the screen then click playback device. If you see the Samsung tv click and make it your default audio out.BUt if you connected by VGA you need an 3.5mm jack(headphone Jack) on both end and connect it at the back of the tv and you're pc too.

Test that the computer isn't the source of the problem by hooking head phones directly to the source 1/4" jack on the PC. You didn't say if you're using an adapter and a cable or an adapter cable. If you have any amplifier with RCA inputs, then after the first test you can test your cable/adapter by plugging the RCA cables into your other amp and seeing if the hum is there (with headphones or speaker). Unless that second test shows that the cable/adapter does not introduce noise then I would get a better quality cable/adapter.I'm assuming that you have already double-checked that all connections are solid. Cheap adapters and cables often do not connect solidly and that can definitely account for noise.

The sound is generated by the on-board computer. All you're doing is giving the signal a different alternative to get to your headphones or Stereo. The audio signal remains the same. BTW... instead of plugging this device directly into your unit, I suggest adding a USB extension cord. If you continually plug and unplug this device, you'll eventually tear the plug from the PC board inside.I actually taped my extension on permantly and it will give you longer headphone range with the extra chord length.

Hi - think you can still have your sound come from the computer. It has been awhile since I used the sound feature...

Yes that is how I use my laptop on my monitor that has DVI. Although you will need something else for sound, but if your device w/ the DVI port has a aux. in port (headphone jack) then just use that for sound or hook up an external device for sound.

Yes, you just press the top button briefly to turn off the monitor, press again to turn on, the sound still works. The volume is adjustable and has a good range. The monitor is also very good and clear with capturing the sounds.

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.

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.

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 the speakers will work plugged in the headphone jack.I have not done it on a monitor but I have used the speakers via the headphone jack on my cellphone.

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.

Hi, I plugged mine into the USB PORT for power and into the OUTPUT PORT for headphones/speakers and turned them up! That's all. Check to be sure you have the right port for headphones. My Mac laptop has two similar ports, one for input and one for output. The output has a headphone icon. You shouldn't have to do anything else. You can test your output to see if it's the port or the speakers by trying a pair of earbuds or headphones in the port instead. Is there sound? If yes, then it's not the port! Be sure they're plugged into the USB port too. That's about all I can tell you. I sure hope they work! Mine are nice little speakers and when I need to I use them on my Mac because it doesn't have very loud speakers.

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 don't see any way to connect headphones to these speakers. The speakers plug into the headphone jack on the pc (along with a usb port). Hope this helps.

Unfortunately not. You only hear audio from the room that is showing on the monitor display screen. I have this issue sometimes too. Hopefully Summer will eventually make a "split screen" monitoring system.

Well, I have headphones that fit the speaker, they where studio headphones and I turn it on PC and it works fine with headphones. I wouldn't recommend using headphones because, it really is useless since without headphones the speakers are a monster.

Open the App called "Audio Midi Setup" you can change default sound device in there for displayport cable connections.Connection must be plugged in before u open app.
