Show's this particular model should have speakers. Ran multiple tests showing sound, but no sound. Also have KA272bi which does not have sound and shows no audio available which I understand. Still confused why no sound w/ KA272abi model. made sure latest drivers were installed, HDMI cable properly connected. Is there an audio cable needed? Do not see a female audio cable port anywhere on monitor.

    Should be able to do hdmi audio, in the sound settings if you test the HDMI out does it play? You can do this by right clicking the volume icon and hitting sounds. From there you can see all the output devices, there should be one for HDMI.


    When you test you will see the mixer bouncing, if you do and there is no sound, check the OSD on the monitor, there may be a voulme or a mute toggle

    Did all those things mentioned. Test shows sound should work, but still silent.

    Specs on the KA272 Abi state:

    • Integrated Speaker(s) - No

    So it is as intended, there are no speakers in the monitor itself.
