I am getting no sound from my 1x monitor running off the integrated graphics card.
I have 5x monitors running - 4 off my 4070 Ti GPU and 1x off the integrated graphics.

Sound is fine off the 4x from dedicated GPU. Any ideas what might be causing issue and how to fix it?

Specs:

Intel Core i9-14900k
NVDA RTX 4070 Ti 12gb
1tb SSD
Z790 motherboard
32gb ddr5 ram
windows 11

Is the volume up on the 5th display (as set by its menu)?

Do you actually have all four of your other displays producing sound at all times? Or just one of them at a time?

Also, as an experiment, if the integrated device is selected as the default playback device in Control Panel/Sound, does sound play properly?

Yeah, playing different audio sources simultaneously i don't think is possible by normal means via playback devices. There might be some work around or hack so to speak but Windows usually limits one audio device at a time depending what it is set in audio playback devices. Make igpu audio default and you should get a vice versa, igpu sound but muted graphics audio.

Post a screen capture of the playback devices in Sound. Upload to a site like imgur.com and then post a link here.

I think part of what Terry is saying has to do with the systems HD Audio selections. There are definitely laptops with no dedicated GPU that produce sound.

The other issue is that Windows uses one playback device at a time.

If iGPUs had audio the onboard (mobo) audio would have gone the way of the dodo just like the mobo gpu.

They do have audio over HDMI according to Intel. As far as multiple outputs from different GPUs as the OP seems to desire? I never got it working when I tried, even if it did there would likely be horrible echo as both the audio streams would be out of sync.

The 1x monitor not getting any audio that is connected to the igpu i just found out does not have speakers. So maybe this is the reason is that the audio will not sync with all other audio and play on the monitor output device other than itself bc it's the only one connected to the igpu?

So maybe the only work around is to connect a speaker directly to the monitor?
I tried hooking a bluetooth speaker up to the system and it's still not getting alerts from the monitor with igpu..

The igpu has no audio output, you have to use the system audio out, from the mobo, and connect it to the monitor audio in, they are 3.5 jacks

so based on this, i should get a 3.5mm jack and connect it to the mobo, then the other end to a bluetooth speaker? or does it need to go directly to that monitor that is plugged into the igpu? (i just found out the monitor connected to igpu does not have speakers)..

Test igpu with one of your other monitors. Still, I don't think you'll have igpu + gpu sound happening at once. Same goes for analog from motherboard as it is also a seperate audio source 'speakers' in playback devices.

Windows *can* handle multiple audio sources at once, but does it very inelegantly. The only way it works is if you have an application that either allows you to manually set what audio output device is used, or if you have a separate application that allows you to override the Windows default audio output device when launching another app.

This *does* work, but milage may vary depending on how stable the drivers are for the device(s) in use. Which is probably why Windows doesn't give users an easy way to accomplish this.

There is, it's called stereo mix, but doesn't work for digital. If you have a work around, or at least for them to try, by all means. I did elude to possibilities post #4 just not aware of anything.

I agree, multi audio streams this day and age shouldn't be difficult.
