The Built in speakers are horrible. But if you need them to work, you should just have to make sure that under audio options that they are turned on and working. Then it's just as simple as giving it louder. I recommend having a small set of computer speakers to go along with this projector, since the audio is very poor as in most built in projector speakers.

I don't usually use the built in speaker, but I have tried it before. I had HDMI from my cable box plugged in and the audio from that was coming through the built in speaker just fine. If you're using the projector connected to a computer make sure you have an auxiliary cable running from the computer to the back of the projector. If you're doing that and its still not working then I'm not sure.

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.

There is a stereo sized input on the projector and the projector has speakers - of a sort. What you will need to do is get an adapter or a cable that will go from male composite to male stereo 1/8". But, I would not use the speakers on the projector - they are not good. Plug the stereo end into a decent set of speakers. I use Logitech x40 speakers - around $30. They work great.

hi-- yeah, I am seeing this as well, but I was able to press the "speaker" button and the sound comes back. it's really kind of frustrating, I am trying to figure out what to do about it as well.

Tracy:I understand your frustration. However, there is a workaround. Start the presentation and click *once* on the slide show screen (not the presenter mode screen). This will then send all the commands to the slide show screen. The remote will work as expected then.Hope this helps,Craig

The solution I found was to get a connection from the projector speaker. suits you to install an RCA connector to an amplifier. I speak Spanish (Hablo español)

We purchased this with a regular projector that hooks up to our laptop. We used regular computer speakers and it worked out great!

Yes, and it sound great. Actually, that how I installed it. Just be sure you don't see movies of hear music with the speakers of the projector at the top (focus on the home theater), because their are small, and they can make strange sounds.

The speakers are good but not great. The project behind the projector, so as long as you are sitting behind it, it will do fine. I carry small speakers with mine just in case I need a little more sound.

No, it does not. Normally one would not expect that of a projector. Audio out would come from your source such as a Blu-ray player or computer. It does NOT have a built in speaker (for a good projected image a speaker would potentially vibrate the image) This is meant to be a higher quality projector than a business meeting projector and it is - it is great for home theater applications where one has a separate amplifier running the speakers.

Its a good projector but the one I had does have in-built speakers for when using HDMI but struggles to use the audio cable when using the red/yellow/white cables for AUX devices. Your computer can hook up to speakers or stereo but as far as the projector, I do not think so.

Only viewing... No Sound. I bough a small speaker at office max for 30 dollars and it works perfectly fine now... Good luck!

Yup, but they are not the best; they sound decent. I recommend using the optical audio jack on the back of the projector and connecting it to a surround sound speaker set.

You can hook up a cable box and watch tv through it. The best choice would be HDMI but there are several options if you look at the input options of the projector (composite video s-video and a vga hook up I think (for computers). I never used the speaker but from what I remember, it worked if I didn't have the audio going somewhere else. Try hooking up audio only and see if you can hear anything. HDMI usually carries the audio as well (unless you have it hooked up through a receiver and assigned to other speakers). You could try hooking up your cable box or ps3 etc directly to the projector to see if you hear audio from the speaker.

Good luck I wish you the best! The speakers do sound great! I just hooked them up to my computer and use them with it.

Dee I had the same problem I ended up inputting it into my blue ray so anything that is not going through it you can't use the speakers. there is a connection you and get if you go to best buy and tell them your problem. as far as the silver pointer none of us could figure out why it comes with this. sorry could not help more but as you see I did not give this a good rating.
