Posted January 29, 2017 My Dell monitor works fine except the headphone jack. All the other port on the monitor works fine, including the usb ports. When I plug my headset into the monitor, there is nothing showing up in the playback device. the headset works fine. Does anybody know any fix?

You don't get sound from a monitor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted January 29, 2017 Try searching in the monitors built in settings, maybe you need to enable it or turn the volume up...

Posted January 29, 2017 If it is an output, you'd have to use hdmi to connect the monitor and use the hdmi sound source as your default output device on the computer. Or maybe it's done as an external USB sound card That being said, I agree with plug the headset into the computer. The microphone likely won't work with the monitor. There's something cool here - you just can't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your monitor should be listed in Playback Devices for you to be able to select it. My Samsung monitor is, just tried it, works fine, with both PC and PS4. The ability to google properly is a skill of its own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 30, 2017 It wont pop up cuz drive different. HDMI and DP use GPU drive, and all the jacks use audio driver. You have to change it in the sound section. If you don't know witch one you should chose, right click the device then chose test. 雪月花(Setsugetsuka) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chose Playback Device. Find the one that you want to chose then right click and chose Test to make sure its the correct one. If so, set it as default device. 雪月花(Setsugetsuka) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
