acer K242HL supposedly having speakers

gogurtman47

I got the acer K242HL to plug hook up into my laptop so i can do more work. When i turn on my laptop though, it goes straight to the monitor's "speakers" and i have to revert it back everytime. i dont know if the monitor has speakers and my volume is all the way down, or it just auto-detects without one being present. can anyone help? ive read that the K242HL doesnt have speakers apparentley but idk

Try Windows + x

go to device manager

Expand sound video and game controllers

You will see two sound drivers - Primary sound driver and Dislay audio

Disable the intel display audio

Now you will not get the sound from external monitor

Kindly go through the details from the link given below

Hi @gogurtman47 the computer appears to have no built-in speakers:

How to connect?

All the best.

Hi, friend! Well, indeed, your monitor model does not have built-in speakers, but it does have an audio output which your computer automatically detects. I think you will have to choose the audio output manually every time you turn on the computer. Additionally, I am attaching an image so that you can appreciate what I have told you.

Hola amigo! Bueno efectivamente su modelo de monitor no trae altavoces incorporados, pero si trae una salida de audio la cual tu computador detecta automaticamente. Creo que tendra que elegir la salida de audio manualmente cada vez que usted encienda el equipo. Adicionalmente le adjunto una imagen para que puedas apreciar lo que le he comentado.
