Not sure what your set-up is but we use a dedicated HTPC as audio/video/BluRay source fed through a video card with HDMI-out interface. HDMI cable from PC feeds into an Onkyo Home Theater A-V receiver which processes the audio and video signals from the PC. HDMI-out from A-V receiver feeds video (only) to a projector for viewing movies, internet, photos on a big screen, etc. Receiver plays full 7.2 surround-sound audio for both music and video. Hooked up a separate computer monitor on the DVI-D-out interface coming from the same PC video card to avoid having to turn on the projector for everything. This versatile system offers the best of all worlds for viewing and listening enjoyment as well as internet surfing and general computer use. Everything plays in the highest quality and is right there at our fingertips with a few clicks of the mouse button. We use a dedicated HTPC but the same set-up could be easily achieved with a laptop if it has an HDMI-out. Hope this is helpful.

Couple ways to hook it up. If you have a receiver with hdmi run a cable from your projector to the receiver. Or if your cable box has a optic cable output hook that to your receiver and your good to go

All you need to have a Receiver to connect External speaker. I connected my Epson To Denon DHT- 391XP 5.1 channel home theater ststem. I am hanging the projector from ceiling. I also connected Samsung blue ray player to watch DVD and Blueray. Recently I added new WD player to receiver my so that now I am watching all formats of contents. Hope this helps. Happy watching and Happy holidays. Merry christmas.

As long as your external speakers have regular a/v components then that should work. You're speakers should have the Red/White inputs.

Integrated HD speakers with Dolby Advanced Audio (that's all the info i can get from Lenovo)

No additional audio connectors are required with the current HDMI cable. The only audio wires are those from the back of the unit to the speakers...and they are the type you strip the wires of insulation and then push into the connectors (like the old style).

All HDMI ports and cables will carry both audio and video signals. That's the convenience of HDMI. One cable does it all. Although the monitor has speakers, I wouldn't expect any quality sound from them. They're very small and have no audio range whatsoever.

I used standard composite cables to hook into my surround sound unit. HDMI cable will work also

Yes you have 2 options. If your TV got a audio output then use that to connect this speakers. If your TV don't have audio output then you need use their AV option (You cannot HDMI)

All I had to do was hook up my speaker to the TV, so I would assume you just need an HDMI running from the TV to speaker.

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)

You also need what is referred to as a toslink cable. The length of it depends on how long you need to get from adaptor to the input.

That's probably not going to work since there is only one output source for the speakers - and those are for the speaker wires. the coax, component video, and optical cable are all inputs, only one hdmi output to connnect to your tv, the rest of the hdmi are all input from your other devices as well. do some search you may find a coax output for speakers, but it may be difficult because a lot of newer receivers are either hdmi, optical, component video and even bluetooth.

Blu-Ray to HDMI and the sound bar using the Digital Audio out. That's how I have mine. Works fine but not too impressed with the sound quality of the speakers. Ok if used with TV speakers.

Try using an HDMI Splitter. Signal from Source through HDMI Splitter, (1) out to HTPC. Voilà!

If you already have speakers, get a receiver or amplifier. Amazon should have an assortment to browse.

I just bought this monitor and wanted audio too. What do I have to do to get audio?

I believe stinkbug's answer is correct. you must select the external speakers in the sound preferences in your settings.
