Yes it has built in speakers. Note like most laptops the built in speakers are not great.

No. At least I didn't get any speakers with it. Seems like a very nice computer, other than the operating system that comes with it.

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.

Nope, it does not include any kind of built-in speaker capability since this was more of a cheap high refresh rate gaming monitor.

no, and the speakers don't work either and are crackly. I didn't return it because once I realized the problems it was too late and I had lost the receipt in my recent move.

the description says that it does, I ordered one and ours did NOT have built in speakers.

No, there is no audio connection of any kind. No speakers either. Consider an axtender cable to go from your computer instead

Yes it does have built in speakers but they are pretty much the same quality as laptop speakers so they are not capable of producing room filling sound if that is what you are looking for.

No, this unit does not have built-in speakers. You will need external speakers or a headset to listen to what is playing. The speakers connect to the "Line out" on the back using RCA connectors (you can find RCA to 3.5mm cables if needed to attach to your equipment). Headphones can be plugged in to the front of the machine. The connection is for a 1/4 inch cable. You can get a "1/4 inch male to 3.55mm female" adapter if your headphones have a 3.55mm plug. You can also connect from the "Line-Out" on the back of the device to the "Line-in" on your computer audio card (if it has that) and listen through the speakers attached to your computer. Depending on your audio card, you would need either an RCA to RCA cable or an RCA to 3.5mm cable to plug in to it. I hope this helped.

Yes it does. On the left side right next to the audio jack hole. :) If you want to see how it looks like or have any questions, you can ask me ^^I recently bought this laptop

No, but that may be a subjective thing. The speakers are plenty loud for me, except for an occasional Youtube video. They aren't as loud as my last laptop, a higher end Dell specializing in entertainment. I knew going in that the sound on this laptop would be average.

There is no built-in speaker. There is a "line out" where you can connect powered external speaker (just like the one you connect to your computer). There is also a connection for a head phone.

you have to have at least a built in sound card to even process sound on your laptop. but no, you don't need one for this.

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...

It has built in speakers. I am not an audio expert but they sound OK to me.

NO. External only. The whole deal with external sound cards, which this is on a miniature scale, is to by-pass the laptops super cheap on-board sound processor and hand off the process to a dedicated, full featured Digital Signal Processor, DSP. The laptop circuitry is optimized for size and cuts corners, clipping high and low tones. The sound card fully processes the signal for a richer, fuller sound. But.... it's an external, pre-amp signal for an external amplifier. The internal speakers are completely by-passed.

yes, the speakers are above the keyboard but the sound is really really low, 80% of the videos I watch I have to use external speakers or headphones... I regret buying this laptop so much, had great experience with HP before, but this model is sucks
