NO SOUND THROUGH HDMI WITH LG 34UM61 MONITOR

So I had my PC plugged into my 48" TV for a few months with sound and everything was good now i bought a monitor LG 34UM61 and I have it plugged in via HDMI i tried both HDMI ports and I cannot get it to play sound I feel VERY STUPID like I am missing something. When I have my headset in i get sound and it shows there is sound being played and it is the default device .

Not sure and maybe it's just me, but I don't see where anything says that display actually has speakers.

i guess i didnt see that either but their is a volume slider to control the volume of the monitor?? its seperate from the computer volume and it shows up in the audio devices how does it not have audio?

All that could be based off the HDMI connection which does have audio capabilities. Unfortunately, I cannot easily test this as my HTPC (my only system with an HDMI output) does not have a speakerless connection, but I do suspect that is the cause.

Disconnect the speakers from an amplifier/receiver and you can still adjust the volume.

My recommendation is to look over the specs for your display and verify whether or not it actually has speakers. If it does, then there is an issue. If not, then what you're seeing is just a symptom of HDMI connected to a display without speakers.

I got tricked into thinking I might have speakers by the appearance of the LG ULTRAWIDE (AMD High Definition Audio Device) display option in my sound settings and the on board tools in the screen seems to support volume. I updated drivers and switch over from DVI to HDMI... all no go... then read this thread and checked here... https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-34UM61-P-ultrawide-monitor

Yup, no speakers. You'd think they would disable volume controls without the speakers connected.

However, the headphone jack on the back of the monitor does function as a pass through, hence the reason for the volume controls.
