How do i get my ED273UR speaker working?

Bluedrago88

I bought my monitor about a year ago, and I have never been able to figure out how to get the speakers working. I have tried all that I can and now I'm turning to the community for help. This specific monitor has built in speakers, but in my windows 10 sound control panel they are labeled as not plugged in. It shows my device is working everywhere else but it is not playing audio and the audio on the monitor is turned up all the way.

Your monitor likely doesn't have speakers, only headphone out.

It has visible speakers on the back of the monitor. Also in the manual I looked up for my model it mentions speakers and it has volume control on the monitor.

Hi Bluedrago,

As Joe9844 said there is no in-built speakers. Can you post the visible speakers in your unit.

Ok so I’m not totally sure if they are for cooling or audio, but there is a picture below. Also it allows me to configure speakers in my audio settings, so maybe it’s just there on all monitors?

Could be for cooling or something like I said I’m not sure.

Also I was thinking there was built in speakers because there is a audio control. But again I could be wrong and just would like to know...

Thanks for giving me those link i didn't have a chance to look at them earlier, but someone in a thread earlier said certain models do which is why i was asking on this thread. (btw that's my mobile account above)

You can google yourself various search terms with ED273UR or PBIDPX or UM.HE3AA.P01 --- all turned up with no speakers.

Thanks for the help, wish I did a little bit of looking around when I bought it.
