you need to connect your monitor to your system using a HDMI cable, not a regular DVI, VGA, Displayport or anything else. HDMI is what transfers both audio and video

It's connected with HDMI. That is why the picture says it works. But for some reason the sound doesn't come through my headphones. And I know my headphones work.

have you tried using just the integrated speakers on the monitor?, maybe its the audio jack itself. Also, you might've tried this already, but in the bottom right of your taskbar, the volume thing, if you right-click on it and hit 'playback devices' and then set your monitor as the default output. It seems from the picture you've already done this, but maybe just double check that it is the right device by plugging the hdmi cable in and then out and then in again, and then seeing which device pops up in the device manager

Have you tried it from the line out port instead? (on the back instead of the side)

The monitor has no speakers. There is no line out port. One for headphone, one for microphone. Green, black.

are you sure it doesnt have any speakers or am i missing something here? http://benq.co.uk/product/monitor/gw2450hm/specifications

okthank you. I just checked and apparently there are speakers. I just had to go to monitor menu settings and enable HDMI audio over PC Audio.
