If the sounds are normal when using other software programs, the issue is with the
software on the computer, and not the speakers in the monitor. If sound is missing from
other software, continue using this procedure.
2. Check the cable connection. If the monitor-to-computer connection is a VGA cable
(usually blue on both ends), an additional audio cable is needed between the monitor and
the computer. Check that the audio cable is connected properly.
3. Try to adjust the volume higher using the monitor front-panel volume button.
4. Using the buttons on the monitor, navigate through the onscreen display (OSD) menu to
find audio or speaker settings and enable the speakers.
5. Adjust the volume higher in Windows from the computer. Click the volume icon from
the taskbar (lower right corner of the screen next to the time), and raise the volume to
about 75%.
6. If the monitor is connected to a computer using an HDMI cable, the HDMI connection
can be used for audio as well as video. Ensure HDMI audio is selected as the main audio
output in the operating system (for example, Windows Audio Properties in Control
Panel). For more information on this subject, please read Using HDMI Audio with a
Desktop Computer.

Vista).
