SB727 E - does this monitor have speakers? monitor and I have no sound

shelbyco5

I just bought the sb272e monitor and I have no sound. Looking at some answers to other peoples problems of no sound and the answer is that it doesn't have speakers. It never occurred to me that a monitor wouldn't have speakers since I've had laptops for over a decade. I bought the monitor to use with a GMKtec K1 mini gaming computer that I just bought for business use. In settings, for sound properties it lists SB272 AMD Hi Def audio device. I'm assuming that it has speakers if this monitor is listed as the sound device.

Am I crazy or do I need to buy speakers?

The SA272 H model has speakers, no audio info available on the E model.

Each monitor series has many models, typically the differenc3es are things like what ports are populated and whether it has builtin speakers. If Acer doesn't specifically say there are speakers then that model doesn't have them. You can often tell by looking for audio ports on the back. If there is only an audio out port then there aren't speakers internally.
