NitroNeo Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 3 minutes ago, Walker said: how is the monitor connected to the mobo? the connection from Mobo to monitor should also route sound. For instance a console if connected to the monitor via HDMI will route audio over HDMI and the monitor will route the audio thru internal speakers or via the 3.5mm out jack to the speakers if connected. In short if the monitor is not receiving audio from the mobo, it will not send audio to the speakers since there is nothing to send. Secondly speakers connected to monitor 3.5mm jack will not show up in windows as windows is only interacting with the monitor and not speakers. Ah damn so how will i choose speakers connected to the monitor, since only my benq monitor shows up when 3.5mm wire is connected to monitor green aux port. I have connected my monitor to my gtx970 with hdmi cable i think hdmi 1.4 it's a belkin cable. Then speakers RC to 3.5mm cable was connected to monitor green 3.5mm slot but it didn't work but when connected to green 3.5mm port on mobo it works.

Walker Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 (edited) OK I'm pretty sure the 970 outputs audio over HDMI. Check the what is selected under windows output devices. LeftClick on the sound icon in the taskbar and see what the default shows. Click the up arrow and you should see Select Playback Devices. See what other devices are listed there and select the correct one. Edit : Does your monitor have inbuilt speakers? See if audio works on the inbuilt speakers first.

See if audio works on the inbuilt speakers first.The current selected device is speakers (realtek high definition audio). Here is the entire list the green ticked one is only selected. Like i said this ticked one doesn't show up if i connect the 3.5mm cable to the monitor. And yeah the benq rl24 has in built speakers which are working.

Walker Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 1> Disconnect the speakers from the mobo and leave them disconnected. 2> Select Benq as the main output so the green tick is on benq 3> Play an audio file and see if the audio plays from the benq inbuilt speakers. 4> If it plays then connect the LG speakers to the monitor 3.5mm output This is to test a) sound is reaching the monitor via existing connection b) if the monitor 3.5mm output is working.

Green one right ? Not the black one I did this process in the afternoon with testing youtube the benq speakers work with audio & also had connected the ps4 a hour back and it too had audio on the monitor, can i connect something else to the green 3.5mm port to see if it's working ? My old z313 are kaput and this set wasn't recognized so without spending is there a device at home that i can connect, with covid i won't be able to get anything from a friend to check.

Walker Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 (edited) benq RL2455? The green is line out/headphone jack. The black is line in. You can connect any headphones to the green one and see if there's sound. Edit : Honestly though, why connect the speakers to the monitor instead of the mobo? The output via the 3.5mm on my Benq GL2460HM was much worse than when the speakers were connected to the mobo directly. Whatever chipset is on the Benq is way worse than the realtek.

Yes i understand your point, i only have one display at home right now, my TV went kaput last year and the new TV i bought had horrible DSE same for it's replacement, so i applied for a refund, now when i play ps4 and xbox using the monitor i have to use in built speakers which are nothing special, and if my speakers are connected to mobo then i am not able to use them on consoles so thus i though of two options 1] Connect speakers directly to monitor so as to use them for both PC and console needs 2] Connect to mobo using current RC cabling and use front aux jack of LG K72B to connect to monitor using [3.5mm-3.5mm cable], but is this safe though since i will be using two connections simultaneously Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think of it like a TV, you can connect an Xbox, PS4 and Switch to 3 HDMI slots but even if you switch on all three consoles at the same time, the TV will only display one input at a time, if that makes sense? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct both would use the power cable audio mode and would end up depending on the speaker weather it prioratizes RC input or 3.5mm aux.It does have a bluetooth option so i can connect a ps4 or xbox one via bluetooth?Sent from my SM-N975F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't be running/using max load or anywhere close to 750W. Try with 650VA first. Else, go for 1kVA UPS. 650VA = 650xPF (usually 0.5-0.7). Your UPS will handle roughly 455W max load. While searching for a UPS, came across APC BX1100C-IN (https://mdcomputers.in/apc-1-1kva-230v-bx1100c-in.html) , in the comments it is written that the transfer time of it is 10ms while a highend system needs a "Smart UPS" with transfer time of 2ms or less and hence we can face shutdowns. Do I need to get a "Smart UPS"? Any advice please? Edited January 15, 2021 by WhoCantBeNamed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NitroNeo Posted January 15, 2021 Report Share Posted January 15, 2021 Ok so i forgot to post. I checked using the old zogitech z313 speakers which have a 3.5mm wire. First i tried them connecting directly to the 3.5mm jack of a moto phone which did output audio.So then connected them to the monitor green port. I mentioned the color since there is a black 3.5mm port also on the monitor and i don't want someone to randomly pop up and say i connected to the wrong port. Anyway on the monitor though the soeakers didn't produce sound and in playback devices they didn't even pop up. Si either there is a different way on benq to change the setting or the port on monitor is kaput.I was looking at this alternative way, as audio port on mobos die alot. And i don't know if i could find a good board if my current maximus ranger (skylake) loses it's line out portSent from my SM-N975F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NitroNeo Posted January 16, 2021 Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 Oh and forgot to mention that by z313 speakers i mean just the speakers which work. The subwoofer of that set along with it's power are dead.Sent from my SM-N975F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker Posted January 16, 2021 Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) I'll check the settings on GL2460HM when I get home. But I don't think there's anything specific to be changed on the monitor. Edit : no special settings on the monitor. It auto switches to the 3.5mm when I connected the speakers to the monitor.
