[SOLVED] Sound to Monitor through USBc->Displayport?

[Fish_Hard_51]

I have a MBP 2018 and a BenQ SW320 connected through a USBC to Displayport cable. No sound ios being transmitted to the monitor. I am new to Macs and not sure where to look...
Thx!

Does your BenQ SW320 monitor has built-in speakers? I thought it didn't have them...
What's the brand of the DisplayPort over USB Type-C adapter you are using?

It's got an audio setting , so I believe so. Cable is Startech. (https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1262154-REG/startech_cdp2dpmm1mb_usb_c_to_displayport_adapter.html)

That does not automatically means they have speakers. They could just pass thru audio signals.
Some monitors have audio settings, because they have connections for external speakers or a headphone jack.
