Why are the Speakers on Acer Nitro VG270 barely audible?

I just bought an Acer Nitro VG270 to replace an Asus monitor that just stopped working and one of the reasons I got it was that it had speakers. However, the sound coming through the speakers is barely audible.

I have the volume turned up on the monitor and in Windows Audio.

I am using Windows 11 and HDMI (no audio jack) and Intel Display Audio is supposed to be driving the speakers.

I found and installed drivers for the VG270 and it made no difference.

This setup is literally the same as with the Asus; I just plugged in the power and HDMI cables.

Speakers are a must for me and hopefully this can be addressed quickly.

Thanks!

    Hi fidlrjiffy

    Here is how I fixed the issued.

    • Open Display
    • Advance Display Setting
    • Refresh Rate

    If you change the refresh rate down from 75Hz to 60Hz then the monitor will have sound. Hope this helps.

    To fix the low sound on your Acer Nitro VG270 monitor, make sure the volume is up on both the monitor and in Windows settings. Set the monitor's speakers as the default audio device in Windows. Update your Intel Display Audio drivers. Run the Playing Audio troubleshooter in Windows settings. Enable Spatial Sound in the Sound settings. Check that your HDMI cable is securely connected and try a different HDMI port if needed.
