Getting USB Speakers To Work Via Monitor?

[Knight77]

I’ve got a LG monitor, and I wanted to know, is there anyway to get USB Speakers to play audio by connecting them into the monitor?

 

the monitor itself doesn’t have speakers, so when I connect my xbox series x to my monitor, I can use my USB speakers by connecting a aux cable from the speakers, to the monitor. 
 

However doing this, adds in a lot of static / hissing noise. 
 

If it was possible to connect via USB, I believe this would eliminate the problem. 
 

Can this be done?

If the monitor has an integrated USB HUB (has a few USB ports and is connected to the PC with an USB cable) and you connect USB speakers (that don't just use USB for power and still have a 3.5mm jack for audio but are actual USB speakers), it will work without issues.

The monitor receives the video and audio through HDMI and the processor on the circuit board inside can make the audio available for headphones output or for basic speakers if the circuit board has a basic audio amplifier inside). 

 

The USB ports on the back are usually completely independent from the display processor circuit board, which decodes the HDMI signal...

There's a USB hub chip there, you use a USB cable to make connection between computer and monitor, and then the HUB chip inside the monitor creates multiple USB ports on the monitor.  The idea is to connect mouse and keyboard to monitor, so you have fewer cables going all the way from desk to the back of PC. 

 

The monitor isn't a usb host , it doesn't detect that you inserted a usb sound card (the speakers/headphones' internal sound card which converts the digital signal sent through usb into analogue stereo sound for headphones), so it can't route the digital audio into the usb port and therefore into your speakers.

 

Sounds like you just need better aux cable (better shielded one)  and potentially you should have both devices plugged in the same circuit (same wall sockets) to reduce the static / hissing.
