What does the monitor do with the HDMI audio?

Nothing, it unfortunately has no built in speakers or an audio out. It is a gorgeous monitor, but that is the one drawback

There are no speakers on the monitor, so there is no audio. And no additional output ports to plug any sort of speakers in to.

Jennifer, HDMI audio is often treated as a separate sound source. You may have to turn the volume up in windows sound settings. Also, you probably already know this: you need a cable for the audio out plug on the back that connects to your speakers.

Either your monitor needs to connect via hdmi and have speakers, or you will need a usb sound card or hdmi speakers...

The monitor doesn't have build in speakers. The 8mm audio port at the back of the monitor is for audio output which can be only achieved by connecting the monitor to the computer through an HDMI cable and setting your computer to output sound through the HDMI port. You can connect speakers or headphones to it and listen to audio.

I am not familiar with that monitor. Assuming it has a VGA connection the cable works great. Nice to have the audio jack incorportated. My cable of choice from now on.

If you use an HDMI cable to connect the monitor and the console, the monitor has a standard audio out port. You can connect your gaming headset to that.

That's not a function of the monitor, it is a function of the Surface. The monitor has an HDMI out port. How you connect that to the Surface is your choice.

I am not sure of the sound is is carried through the HDMI port. I do know that 1080p video is carried through the HDMI port. The monitor does have both a audio optical port input and standard audio 1/8 mini port input. Don't think there is any problem with using this monitor with a NVidia 780 GPU.

I haven't used the audio output, I was just projecting the screen. However, I see that there is an audio port, and the manufacturer says that the audio cable is sold separately. Hope this helps.

The HDMI cable works as expected but if you are connecting it to your computer and only have DVI connections, then no, the audio will not work. If you have an HMDI output on your computer, make sure the video card is connected to the motherboard with the bi-pass cord (i forget the name)

There are audio out jacks on the back of the monitor. I simply ran a wire to my stereo amplifier. I believe you can plug in a speaker bar if you prefer that. (or don't have a hifi system)

None. There is a built-in 3W speaker and various options for audio in including HDMI.

Yes, you can set hdmi to be the primary audio out regardless of how many other audio components you have. I've used this card and others on servers, desktops, and other odd computers and hdmi audio works great on all of them.

Audio from the PC is embedded into the HDMI output port. This can be a source input for a TV or display monitor

I don't know what you're asking but Display port & HDMI can carry sound. DVI can not

the sound from an HDMI source does come from the HDMI cable -so something like an xbox being hooked up only through the HDMI cable forces you to use the built in speakers. this may not be a problem for devices where there is a separate audio output from the video through HDMI, but that's a lot of cables. if you're doing all that, you might want to rethink your set up to have dedicated speakers and a dedicated monitor.

Not sure. Monitor has no speakers, usually speakers are attached to the computer and have their own volume control. I never had occasion to check the monitor for audio control. Might also be controlled from the keyboard.
