The monitor does not have sound passthru feature so the speakers would not be able to work that way. You can connect the speakers to the Roku box in the audio out jacks. You will need to get a cable from radio shack to make the connection.
First try wiggling and twisting the the mini jack in the socket, that feeds the monitor speakers signal.
Both ends.. at the PC and at the monitor. Hopefully it's that simple.
The other thing to check is - Do you have a seperate power supply for the speakers? Ck it's still plugged in, to the power, and to the speaker feed.
Test the output with a meter to see if it failed. This can be replaced. (Would be cheaper to buy new speakers)
IF no joy at this point, it possible the speaker circuit in the monitor has failed, or the internal power feed to the speakers (if no external one)
Replacement external speakers are not at all expensive, unless you really need Hi Fidelity. That seems unlikely, as you are using monitor speakers which are as poor fidelity as most come.
I'll bet a $25 set of external speakers will sound 10 time better than the monitor ones.
I'm assuming you have the sound cable plugged into the back of the monitor and then into the computer. If not, do it. Then go through the steps you normally would to check sound--are the drivers installed, is the sound on (not muted) etc. Are the speakers turned on by the controls on the monitor itself? If none of these work, go buy external speakers.
first make sure that your monitor has all of the drivers and speakers built into it.and that you have a a good audio cable.know that you have to have it in the audio port with the green around it(the middle one)you can't take regular speaker and plug them into the monitor.but you can plug them into the green port in the middle.also make sure that your other speaker are good.if you got any more questions email me at [email protected]
yes and no. wou will need a vga to RCA video adaptor, then you will need to get something to play the sound through. after thats sorted out it should work. I use my monitor to play my xbox360 using external speakers
If your old monitor was a Compaq, it had slots for the speakers to hang on and provided the power for the speakers. The speakers still got their input from a cable that plugged into the computer sound output jack. If those speakers are the style Compaq supplied when I worked at a Compaq service shop, they originally came with metal stands that fit into slots on the back so you could stand them up on their own, and a 12-volt power adapter so you could use them without the monitor. If you don't have those pieces, you can buy a suitable power adapter (12 volts DC at 1 amp) at Radio Shack but the speaker stands are hard to find. You could try eBay, or just make a holder of some kind. (A friend of mine used those little wooden stands you can buy to display plates to hold her speakers when she got a new monitor. They worked out pretty well.)
Or you can replace the speakers. A new set would have everything you need. But those Compaq speakers sounded pretty good, so if they're still working you might want to keep them.
does monitor have speakers if yes it will have a speaker connection with the video lead connect it to speaker output on computer. If monitor does not have speakers you will need to buy or use external ones
