Solution
That monitor doesn't have speakers , it has a digitial to analog converter & a headphone jack just so you can pass HDMI audio to a powered speaker set without any messing about.

That's what the volume controls relate to.
Make sure your sound drivers are up-to-date, then follow these steps:
1. Go to control panel
2. Go to hardware and sound
3. Go to sound
Check that your monitor is selected as the default device.
It's probably a driver problem.
Are you sure you plugged the jack into the right port on the back of your pc?
