Question

Dell LCD TV sound

Mar 31, 2015 6:23AM PDT

I have an old Dell LCD TV. I am trying to hook up speakers but I still don't get any sound. I would like to use this as an extra monitor for my son's video games. Any suggestions.

Thanks.

One (1) L/R Audio out connection

There was no documentation at dell.com but an old CNET review notes "One (1) L/R Audio out connection"

However you may have connected with HDMI and sound over HDMI is not automatic or standardized from PCs.

If it's from a PC why not connect the speakers to the PC?
