Yes you need audio cable, stereo miniphone jacks at both ends (you can get it from Radio Shack) usually green color, plug one end into the green jack on the monitor, another end to the audio line out jack on the PC. Set the volume on the monitor half way up for now and adjsut the volume on your PC to the level you want.

My son inherited a 1994 Mercury Sable with 12,000 miles that hasn't been driven since 2006 and sat outside in snow and sun. Repairs will cost $2,300. What are odds transmission won't work eith

Well anything is possible, but I would expect the transmission to work given the time and mileage.
Is there any way you could drive it a short distance before spending much money ?
I am assuming you are having the fuel tank drained and the cooling system flushed among other things.
I would change the fluids and try to drive it a few blocks before spending money on much else to see what it will need.

Does this thing even have speakers..cant get any sound

It definitely has built in speakers:

Built in Speakers 2 x 3W speakers

It also has a headphone out jack. If you can't get sound, check and see if the headphone jack works. Does the volume control work? If they do your problem is with the speakers. They may be blown or just disconnected.

If you can't get sound through the headphone jack and you do have volume control but no sound, it probably a problem with the mainboard. It may need to be replaced.

Not really worth fixing in my opinion. I'd Just get some external speakers and connect them that way. Of course, if you are relying on a cable input, thats a bit harder and you would need some tuner or a DVD/VCR player with a tuner that has the standard RCA red and white audio output.

I have a hdmi input and i dont hear sounds

HDMI definitely carries sound and video. That is what makes it so useful. One cable does it all. If you have HDMI input on your TV and you are trying to play video and sound through your laptop, you have to hook up the cable, select HDMI or digital sound from your computer sound settings and then re-start your computer (while attached to the TV0. Good luck.

Volume code

As far as I know, there is no unlock for the volume. If you go into settings there is a volume limit. If you go to it just scroll up to the maximum and press the center button. That's maximum volume set. Then play a song and scroll the volume all the way up. If you're still not getting any sound then your headphone cable might be broken. Try the iPod on some sort of docking bay that produces sound. If it works on there then you definitely have a faulty headphone/hold cable. If it doesn't work on the docking bay, then you have a faulty logic board.

No sound at all

I suggest if your handy , to open the receiver and look for a circuit breaker or a fuse that protects unit of being damage , replace it and turn it on , hopefully it will work .

Sound Issue

Check the cable box volume. Most boxes allow you to adjust the volume from the box to the TV, and most likely it's gotten turned down. Use the "Volume" control on the cable box to bring the level back up. (Unless the box remote has been set up for RCA, it controls the box volume. Once you get the volume back up, follow the cable provider's instructions for setting the remote to control an RCA. Then the volume control will function correctly.)

Home theatre but TV without audio outlet

I would suggest that you smash
Philips HTS w/a hammer!
I had better sound from TV alone! Only 2 speakers put out sound from TV. Recordings from DVR can not be heard very well w/all volumes at max. System sucks! You get what you pay for! $2500 LCD TV sounds worse w/Philips HTS than my son's $300 TV! ALL cables hooked up as instucted!!!!
