New HP monitor connected to Dell laptop (Windows XP). Sound coming from Laptop speakers but no sound from monitor (yes the monitor does have speakers). I have the audio cable connected from laptop to monitor.

Are you using the heaphones jack? The new HP is a laptop? Open Sounds in Control Panel. select headphones.

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.

new to you , its very old, and officially retired at HP.com
its 14 years old today. yah, old. last one sold at $30(fleabay)
what ever OS (windows) it runs its not safe on the internet.
windows 2000? or XP?

called legacy now. (means zero support at HP and MS)
no dell monitor stated, endless kinds over 20 years. made.
what makes you think the dell has speakers/ lacking the 3.5mm
phone jack on it. did you forget to plug the sound cable in?

the hard drive has nothing to do with sound.
one can boot to a LINUX CD and play music all day long.
a fact. same with booting to USB thumb drive.(linux)


why not buy some external speaker, for $10 or at Goodwill(tm)
stores. dirt cheap or heck , upgrade to good sounding speaker
no monitor can ever do that. well.
good luck and next time tell the helper what DELL that is.
the model is on the sticker on the back most times.

This sounds like a defective audio port. In normal operation, plugging in a headphone plug breaks the connection to the speakers. On your laptop, when you pull out the plug it makes a connection, but only briefly. Unfortunately the audio port is built into the system board. I don't think you will find a software fix for this problem. Your best bet is to get a USB sound device for external speakers.

Hi , make sure you have correctly , installed the drivers for the sound card or Motherboard you are connecting into your laptop...and make sure it is compatible with XP
Happy new year
Hope you come right bud :D

Alright, I got the answer for ya, first, go into your control panel. Click on Sounds and Audio Devices. Listed in this window should be the name of your sound card. Under that, should be Device Volume, and at the bottom, should be the Speaker Settings, click into Advanced, next to speaker volume. It should show you a diagram of a monitor with the amount of speakers it has selected shown next to it. Where it says Speaker Setup, click and then scroll down until you see 3 settings labeled Monitor Stereo, Monitor Stand Stereo, and Monitor Mounted Stereo. Whatever one enables the sound will be the one you want to stick with.

You need to download the driver, go to the web site and find the download
