I bought a HP Slimline 450-231d DT PC some weeks ago. It has an intel core i5-6400T processor, AMD Radeon R5 330 graphics card with 1GB, 4GB ram and running on Windows 10. I connect the PC to my philips 274E5 monitor using a HDMI cable but there is no sound coming out from my monitor even though there is a built-in speaker. Tried enabling the playback device etc but to no avail. The bulit-in speaker is already set as the default playback device. Tried troubleshooting using windows, doesnt work.

Anyone else has the same problem? I know there are lots of clever IT people here. Please help!
 
Did you try the volume control button on your 274E? (there IS one!)

In my search for a similar solution I was surprised to find a volume control button on my Philips 274E monitor. It's the middle button under the right hand side of the screen - see the little audio icon. Press that, then press it again to turn the sound up. I went for 6 months thinking either my monitor was broke, the cable not working, or something wrong with my laptop. It was none of those things - just the volume was turned right down to zero from new.
