I cannot get the sound on my monitor from the laptop

I believe this monitor does not have a built-in speaker. If you have the optional hang-on speaker, it must connect to the laptop's speaker/headphone port (speaker's green connector cable/plug). You cannot use the external speaker and the headphone at the same time unless you are using a Y connector cable.
This monitor has a VGA and a DVI-D ports for video input. Neither supports sound.
I hope this helps. Dell 24 Monitor P2414H

You need a cable from the "audio-out" from your laptop to the "audio-in" port on the Gateway, to transmit the sound to the monitor.

On what, your oven or is this a laptop or PC, a laptop adjust the sound settings, on a monitor, you need a HDMI cable to get sound from a monitor. And a PC that has onboard HDMI or a graph card that has HDMI.

tried to hooked the audio out of your laptop in a powered pc speaker just to ensure if the problem is with in the lap top. if you can get sound from the laptop using powered pc speaker that was mean the problem is with in the monitor. by the way have you been tried to replaced the audio cable?.

Do you sure that your monitor has inbuilt speakers? if yes means you can get the sound by connecting sound output of the Laptop to the sound input of the monitor generally you need a 3.5mm audio pin cable at both the ends i.e the cable have 3.5mm audio male pin at both the ends

Hello - From what you've written I would assume that you have connected your notebook to your new monitor with an HDMI cable. You have the right idea. The problem is, yes HDMI does carry both video and audio, but your new monitor doesn't have any way to output the sound...no speakers.

When your laptop connected to the external monitor it recognized the HDMI and assumed the device was sound capable. You need to go to Start > Control Panel > Sound and setup the sound to go through your notebooks speakers like it normally does and not try to send sound to the monitor.

After the change you'll view the video on your new monitor and the sound will be output by your laptop speakers like always.

Thanks for using Fix Ya and enjoy your new LED display.

Try these options
1. Click on sound icon in Taskbar and make sure sound is up on HDMI volume. If this doesn't exist-
2. Start => Control Panel => Hardware and Sound. Under Sound tab click on Manage Audio Devices, right click on HDMI tab and enable. Or this: Computers have two seperate systems - one for video and one for sound.

The only computer (or laptop) connection that carries both video and sound is HDMI. If you do not have a HDMI/DVI connector on the back of your computer, then you will have to use the VGA-composite or s-video connectors to display your PC's output on an external monitor like an LCD TV.

On both my HP and Dell laptops the display settings (Start/Control Panel/Personalize/Display Settings) allow two modes - single or dual monitor mode. Single monitor mode allows me to switch between any one of three possible video outputs - VGA-composite, S-Video or laptop screen, or a split-desktop (display spread over two seperate monitors). Dual monitor mode allows the same display on any two of three possible video outputs.

Switching is performed using the fn keys on the keyboard (fn key plus the F2, F8, etc. function key with the display marking). You guys use single monitor mode until you figure out what your are doing. Select VGA-composite or S-Video.

Non-HDMI sound to your TV monitor or sound system must be obtained from your laptop's Headphone or S/PDIF jacks. Headphone is stereo and S/PDIF is 5.1 surround sound. Headphone is electrical, but S/PDIF may be electrical or optical (laser light). You must set the sound jack that you intend to use as the default on the PC control panel (Start/Control Panel/Sound).

None of these connectors is two-way in the context of an LCD monitor - your PC cannot record a TV picture or sound from the external monitor. To accomplish this you must purchase a video converter box that converts cable TV or video+sound inputs to USB format usable by your laptop. Do this and you can turn your laptop into a Tivo recorder/DVD burner using Beyond TV, Sage TV or a variety of other software packages.

1. check whether u have inserted the audio cable in the right port (Headphone Port)!

2.also check the audio settings of headphone port (volume,channels,etc.)
