Samsung 28" LU28D590DS/ZA

[KLRDOG]

Hello. I purchased a Samsung 28" 4k LU28D590DS/ZA today. Problem I am having is sound. I am using the display port hook ups to benefit from 60hz refresh rate. I do not know how to get sound to work with this setup. I have never had sound troubles before so I am a bit baffled.

Thank You

You may need to use the 3.5 mm audio out connection. There is a good chance it came with one. My monitor did. It should look like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-5mm-AUX-AUXILIARY-CORD-Male-to-Male-Stereo-Audio-Cable-for-PC-iPod-MP3-CAR-/121129311016?pt=US_Audio_Cables_Adapters&hash=item1c33de9b28

AHh and this is running from the back of the monitor to where? The sound in/outs on the motherboard or ?

Yes.

I guess I just need to buy a set of Bose computer/desktop speakers then.

Why is that? If you use the cable into the 3.5mm jack, you'll get what ever sound quality the monitor speakers has. Granted, in my case, they are horrible, so I bought different speakers, but it does work.

I'm pretty sure displayport carries audio as well, but correct me if I am wrong, I don't think that samsung monitor has speakers. Generally monitors either have no speakers or really crappy ones.

Getting speakers to plug in to your computer would prob be the right choice.

That monitor does have a 3.5mm headphone jack, so if your speakers can plug into a headphone jack you could prob plug your speakers into the monitor as well.

It's been predicted that Displayport can cary audio, but I do not know if it actually does. I've never heard of anyone successfully doing it.

You may be right about it not having speakers. No advertisement mentions it.

Display port does, I have the Exact same monitor as you, and as for the issue I have tested it.

The monitor does not have any inbuilt speakers, all you can do is use the headphone out of the monitor which takes the audio from the HDMI/DP.

Display port and HDMI both carry audio for reference, I tested my display port cable and received audio through monitor headphone out.

So I go buy a set of Bose companion 2 speakers for 100 bucks and think I am good to go. Not cannot get them to work either. I have built computers for over 20 years but for some reason I cant hook up a few wires to get sound. laughable in my old age ha

yes, you need a set of speakers, the ones you listed is what you want. Enjoy! A great monitor and great speakers.
