Using all the speakers on my three monitors.

[Joseph Sem]

My 3 monitors each have speakers, and they show up as 3 seperate speakers in my sound settings. I am running the monitors through HDMI. I am wondering if there would be a way to use all three?

Open Sound panel
Select Speakers as the default playback device
Go to the "Recording" tab
Right click and enable "Show Disabled Devices"
A recording device called "Wave Out Mix", "Mono Mix" or "Stereo Mix" (this was my case) should appear
Right click on the new device and click "Enable"
Right click on the new device and click "Set as Default Device"
Double click on the new device to open the Properties window
Go to the "Listen" tab
Click on the "Listen to this device" checkbox
Select your HDMI device from the "Playback through this device" list

That didn't resolve it 🙁 I was looking for a way to play sound through all three of the monitors speakers, but I can only set one monitor as a speaker.http:// <- link to the picture of my situation in the sound settings

Surely using all 3 will need you to set the sound to mono as the stereo will be messed up (left speaker on monitor 3 will be on the right and vice versa)

Try using this software it's a free mixer called Voice Meeter

It didn't work. I guess I'll stick to one monitor.

Did you configure it properly? you have to set it as the default device and then open the voicemeeter app not the virtual IO control panel. It needs you to tell it the devices to use.

depending on monitors, they might have 3.5mm audio input port and you could then use normal 3.5mm cable to plug monitors to back of computer and not use HDMI to transmit audio.

That still kind of leaves some holes in the plan since you would want left channel to go to left monitor (both speakers) and right to right monitor (both speakers) and middle to stay in middle.

there would likely be some channel splitting/merging adapters though to allow for that.

If his MB has Dolby inputs this would solve the problem. If not you are just adding multiple speakers. If you have the Dolby ports just get 3-3.5mm wires and connect the accordingly.

If you dont have the jacks the same 3 wires could be daisy chained to make all the speakers work.
