does this computer require speakers for audio?

My guess is yes. I connect it to a television through an HDMI cable. Sound comes through the television, so I dont really know.

Yes, I had to connect mine to the speakers I had from my previous computer.

Yes, you will need speakers. The computer has a sound card, so the speakers or external sound system will just plug into the green jack.

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

This monitor does not have built in speakers. You will need external speakers. You can also purchase the Dell sound bar that attaches to the bottom of the display. The audio and power for the Dell sound bar are provided via a USB cable connected to the display.

No it requires a sound card. It has usb for power and controlling pc volume, a cord for microphone, and three for the speakers (simulated 5.1 surround). The sounds is clear and the mic is great, but it is a bit on the heavy/uncomfortable side.

No. This motherboard doesn't need a sound card. Why pay so much if it didn't have quality sound lol

I just don't recall there being speakers built in...I was using separate external speakers at the time I owned this display. If sound is important to you, buy a pair of external speakers or headphones for your computer, which would certainly be far better than any built-in speakers in your computer or monitor. Also, be aware that the ports on the back of this monitor do not support current high-speed data transfers.

Yes, you are right. It does not have speakers. I should have been more careful in my selection because I actually wanted speakers :). I like the monitor a lot though and using DVI I am still getting 1080...at least as a setting, rather in fact or not, I could never tell.

You do not need external speakers. There are speakers built into the computer. There is an audio jack for headphones or speakers if you would like to use them, however.

This is a video monitor with no speaker. Your computer probably has a built-in low fidelity speaker, or you could purchase a set of external computer speakers.

Yes,the monitor in question does have speakers.Of course they are next to better than nothing @ all.

Sorry.Shouldn't need a sound card. Depending on your system config. What OS are you running?

The speakers are nothing to write home about. You want to get an external set of speakers to get any kind of sound quality but the soundcard is okay!

Sound card, yes; video card, no. But I use only the built-in sound card (I didn't buy a separate one).

It does not have speakers. It connects directly to USB, and from there is used in your preferred production software, which you can hook to speakers or headphones...because it would be hooked to a computer anyway.

It does have speakers so headphones aren't required, but I'm not sure about connecting to a computer.

No audio or video cards needed, unless you plan on using it for a serious gaming console. It has dual DVI outputs and I have it connected to two HP 24" monitors. I also have to hard drives inside, a 120GB Raptor and a 1TB Seagate. Sung but awesome lil' PC.

Yes there is audio. Look for instructions in internet accordino to your laptop.
