Does the audio switch with the input? For example, HDMI video/audio from one source and VGA video/analog audio from another.

Yes. I connect my PS3 to the HDMI, and my desktop to DVI, together with the audio to the 3.5mm audio input. The sounds switch with the input smoothly.
488514
Yes, it does. Obviously you'll need to have a 3.5mm audio cable running into whatever your DVI cable is hooked up to for both video and audio, whereas with HDMI you only need the one cable as it supports both.
488515
Yes, if connecting through HDMI you will get sound through that audio channel.

I called ASUS support and they were super great with helpful information on this. While they supplied many input cords with the monitor, actually only one is actially needed and I think it was the HDMI. I hope this helps you. It's a great monitor.

Yes. When you press the switch button it switches video/audio/USB between two inputs. If you have nothing plugged in for video/audio it still works. Note that USB does have to be plugged in to power the device.

Not that I'm aware of. If you have it in split screen mode you can pick which one you want audio on, but it doesn't toggle back and forth while on split screen.

It has an option to manually switch (which is what I use). It automatically switches too (to an active HDMI connection) if a certain HDMI input is OFF. The picture is accurate. Works well so far. The main reason I bought is that I did not want an additional power input (like HDMI switchers use).

Yes that is true. I have a computer and dvd player connected, and I can manually switch between the two sources. And, yes it sends the one input (the one you select, input 1 or 2) or same signal to two HDMI sources.

If you mean HDMI, yes, it does have one input. I had it only a short time, so I don't remember the other inputs, but I think you can download the manual.

No. This device takes VGA and analog audio, and converts it to HDMI. Not the other way.

HDMI sends sound to monitor and mine has internal speakers, so it works that way. USB speakers work fine, if you don't have that kind of monitor

The idea is that the receiver then controls everything. So when you switch inputs on the receiver, it then switches both audio and video. Otherwise you'd have to switch the receiver input, and then go switch the TV input. Of course, this only applies if you have more than one video source (eg: blu Ray player and Xbox and cable box or DVR). It really is ultra useful and only adds one HDMI cable. HOWEVER: do not buy this specific receiver. It does not handle HDMI switching well (only passes through video does not capture audio), plus the sound quality is horrible. Get a more modern and high quality one, such as a Yamaha or Denon.

yes it does. im using only hdmi cables myself and getting both picture and audio. i believe using both may improve sound quality.

Just tested this now. I can confirm that HDMI audio and Analog audio play at the same time. Note: there is a slight delay between the HDMI Audio and the Analog audio. On my system the delay is probably about 10 milliseconds. It makes it seem as if the audio is being played in a large room or theater. This delay will probably be different depending on your make and model of TV and the length of your cables. My TV is actually quite old, and I think it takes a long time for my old TV to convert the digital signal into sound. Hope that helps!

No it does not split the video and audio from a single input. If you want input 1 split to output 1 and output 2 then both the video and audio will go to both output 1 and output 2.

As far as I know, the VGA interface is video only so the answer is most probably NO as VG doesn't support audio.

I have had the monitor for 2 weeks, but it is used constantly. I frequently attach or separate it from different PCs, and it has been both shut off completely--or simply allowed to hibernate. I have not experienced this problem of the audio failing to switch on with the monitor. I suspect that the monitor is choosing the wrong audio input and perhaps decoupling it from your video signal. Are you using HDMI (for both video & audio), or do you have a separate audio signal input? My guess is that if you use VGA, you should avoid leaving any source plugged into the HDMI port. Likewise, if you are using HDMI, use a newer cable that supports audio and disconnect the audio input at the back of the monitor. Does any of this make sense? Did it help?

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.

It depends on your TV. Many don't relay sound from HDMI in to their own OUT ports, or (as Brandon suggested) might do so only after their settings were changed (see TV manual). See AVSForum.com for discussion and a place to get more detailed help.

This is not the one I purchased .... HOWEVER of you go to the URL belowViewHD Multi-functional HDMI 8x1 Converter Switch 8 Inputs to One HDMI Output Support 3D and Surround Sound for 1080P HDTV | VHD-MS8X1That is for the model you have asked the question and it does appear to have an audio out next to the VGA out. Once on that page float your mouse over the image and it magnifies the images.
