If I connect my Dell Ultrasharp monitor to my PC with HDMI, will this sound bar carry the audio? Or do I need a seperate audio cable from the PC?

The AS501 comes with an attached already wired pin plug to go into your PC. So, no need to purchase a separate cable.

HDMI is for video. You need to plug in the 1/8" mini into the PC for audio.

There is a cable attached to the sound bar which you plug into the back of the monitor. It works very well. No extra cable required.

The audio cable that connects the sound bar to the audio output of the pc/Mac is built into the sound bar. No extra cable required.

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.

your computer may not have this capability to send the sound through your HDMI cable. you can get a seperate sound cable for your jack in the back of the tv or get speakers for your computer. I use speakers on my computer.

Sound comes through any HDMI cable. You don't need a separate cable for audio.The answer is yes.

I am sorry for the late response! I hope I am not too late helping you! This graphics card does have great sound quality when using an HDMI cable! It works really great! Especially if you have an HDTV you could connect to your computer! If you have anymore questions, please feel free to ask me! Thank you for your time, and have a wonderful day!

you don't; vga doesn't carry audio. it's not like hdmi. does your monitor have built-in speakers? if so, then there will be a line-in (aka auxiliary, 3.5mm, 1/8", etc.) input which looks exactly like a headphone jack, except that sound goes into it instead of out of it. in that case, you'll need an rca to 3.5mm cable or adapter. if your monitor doesn't have speakers, then just route your rca cables to your sound system. i hope that helps.

I am pretty sure you will need an additional cable for audio as I bought this to display a spreadsheet off a computer onto a monitor unlike a HDMI to HDMI this did nothing for audio just converted the video

I use a 35 ft. VGA/ audio cable from my PC with a PC/TV tuner, using it as a DVR with Windows Media center to my Big Screen and also use my Monitor with a VGA Powered splitter. Using a powered splitter because with out it I had lines on the TV, the powered splitter took care of it, but I also have a hum or feed back sound, can't explain it. It may be the same sound you have, if you get a answer to your question please let me know at DWB@socal.rr.com, Thanks Don

This product is only compatible with the UltraSharp line of Dell Flat Panel Monitors. I don't know whether the Dell S2340 monitor is in that line. Check with Dell. This sound bar attaches to and gets power from the monitor.

You will have to attach speakers to your computer. If your monitor doesn't have speakers, then no matter what cable you use, you will have to use the audio ports on your computer to attach speakers. For example, I currently just leave my headphones plugged into my computer.

I don't believe the DVI port on the computer graphics card is setup to deliver audio. The possible option would be to get a graphics card that does have a built in HDMI port and the ability to deliver audio. I have a MOBO with an onboard HDMI port and could never get audio pass through. Probably best to use the optical port and the same setup you have now. Hope this helps.

I am not familiar with that monitor. Assuming it has a VGA connection the cable works great. Nice to have the audio jack incorportated. My cable of choice from now on.

Does the monitor you are using have any speakers?If so, are you using a HDMI cable (directly, without a DVI or VGA converter)?If not, did you connect separate speakers to the audio out port (green) in the back?I feel certain the answer to all questions is NO. You need at least one YES answer to hear anything.

This is a DVI cable. This connects a PC to a DVI monitor. It does not carry an audio signal like HDMI. If you are using a monitor/TV with built in speakers and want to use them, you will need an appropriate audio connection.

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.

Should be all you need if I'm understanding your application correctly and as you can see, the audio speaker cable is included. Most all Laptops and LCD/LED TV's have VGA connectors these days. However, if I had a HDMI connector on both the Laptop and the TV, I would order a HDMI cable instead.
