PC Speakers

Hey everyone I have a question, I have two monitors. Both have built in speakers. How could I use both of these built in speakers at the same time on my desktop? Thanks

What kind of audio input do the monitors have?  if they have a 3.5mm jack then you could use a Y splitter to plug both with the same signal.  But if you are using HMDI to send the audio then it's gonna be harder.

each monitor has a 3.5 but i tried the y cable and the sound was really buzzy

You need to quote a post or tag a member or else they won't get a notification you replied to them.

 

Why not get some decent external speakers?

The buzzing is most likely electric noise coming from the monitors themselves, a quick test could be to hold the cables away from each display, that may give you an indication of which one is causing the interference.  If that doesn't change anything you could try unplugging the audio cable from each monitor at the time, and see if the buzz disappears in the monitor that is still plug.

Aww, man that sucks.  I just saw there are more cases of the speakers breaking.  Though it seems some people have made it work again using VGA instead of DVI.

 

I guess you can test just switching the inputs, changing to vga should have no image but have sound.
