If I have two of these monitors hooked up via HDMI will i get sound through both monitors?

Depending on setup a mountable 2.1 sound bar might be the best option. If you want to clip cords you can get wireless Bluetooth speakers but they have a slow response time so gaming might be a bit of a problem.

Honestly I have never tried that before but to try and answer your question I have to assume a few things here. One is that you are ok with how bad these things sound, to be frank these have terrible speakers and I'm not saying this as some audiophile who has very discerning tastes. As a general user these speakers are just barely audible and their reproduction of anything resembling sound is poor at best. You would do much better with a $5 pair of ear buds. I'm also assuming that you have two available HDMI ports that are not "mirrored" or "cloned". Because if you are running the HDMI through a splitter to get two separate video feeds your setup should work. Unfortunately using two separate HDMI ports will most likely not work because the card will define one port as the active sound out put and use just that one. Your best bet is to use a Y splitter audio cable (3.5MM) and go from the sound port to the monitors. HDMI in this case is probably no the best way to make this setup work.

Most likely no. The PC will pick a default line and pump the sound through that.

I don't know if you will get sound out of both monitors because I have never hooked up 2 monitors before. I do know that the sound from this monitor is terrible, it is very weak or low. Trust me, if you buy this monitor you will buy speakers to hook up to your computer like I did. I have no other bad things to say about this monitor except that the speakers suck.

Hi - Let's clarify something right away. Do not use VGA & HDMI cables from the same source at the same time. Just remember that what ever source you feed this monitor with an HDMI cable will be the one that sound is applied to the headset jack on the back. Anything else, you will have to hook up your speaker system straight to the source unit ( PC-Game unit - video feeds ) Hooking up directly to the source unit will generally give you the best sound anyway. If you have more than one feed to the monitor, it has a switch to select which one you will receive at any given moment. The HDMI feed will be the only one that sends sound to the monitor headphone jack, and you can plug a sound system into this jack or just headphones. - Good luck and enjoy! - Jim T.

I have a GTX 670 and the hdmi works for full resolution and sound. I've read the display port gives full resolution chat i Don't know about sound

It actually depends on the video card. Radeon 5000/6000/7000 series will carry audio over hdmi. The laptop most likely had the capability to display but not pass thru audio. I'm not too sure on which nvidia cards do it

Yes. You will only get video without the sound through the cable That is the difference between DVI and HDMI.

You need to run RCA signal cables for both. I used a BOSS video splitter for four monitors.

Yes but I suggest using the Audio out to Computer Speakers or A sound sound system. Also Just incase you didn't know if you are using HDMI no worries Video and HDMI are in the same cable so just go from audio out and your set.

Sounds defective. I haven't had any issue like that with mine and I have two monitors hooked up with them going to a docking station.

Just adding to my previous comment, there will be no audio onto your monitor regardless it works or not. HDMI to DVI will only transfer video.
578375
yes! As long you have the right connecter on both end's "" Its like using vga,HDMI or DVI output on monitor""

yeah but its just a monitor so there will be no sound coming from it. you have to use an external source for the sound. oh for the hdmi you can just buy a $5 adapter from walmart or some other place. disregard my last comment!

Likely your monitor won't have component (red and white) ports (like 99% chance), but a simple converter can convert them to 3.5mm audio. You can find a very cheap converter online.

I haven't tried the HDMI but I have lesser cards that I do that with. I run 2 monitors both DVI with this card.

I don't use the monitor for sound. I have a seperate pair of speakers hooked up!!

DVI doesn't send sound like HDMI. Have to have external speakers hooked directly up to the source. Had the same exact issue, unfortunately had to get a cheap pair of external speakers.

If you are connecting your monitor through a HDMI to VGA adapter, it should be one that has the audio split out to an audio jack. You can plug your speakers into that jack.

It should pass the sound. Older graphics card do not support HDMI audio. Also need to make sure that HDMI audio drivers are installed from the graphics card manufacturer. Make sure HDMI audio is set to default. Make sure it works without the switch first.
