Greetings, I have two g257hu and I am outputting to them through hdmi cables, but I want to be able to use the speakers on both panels through the audio input, but there no sound. when i go to VGA +audio input it works. Does using HDMI disable audio input, or is there something else i need to do?

    It depends on your computer. With most Windows computers when you connect an HDMI device you get a new entry under output device in sound options. Just select that as your output and that monitor should start making the sound.

    Right so I now have two of those, which means at the moment i can only output sound from one monitor. I want to output sound from both

    Yeah, I don't know of any way to use both monitors as speakers unless there's a software package that lets you merge two outputs.
