Monitor has speakers but doesn't work
Got new gaming monitor but can't turn on the audio.
Monitor is Acer Nitro VG240Y !
Audio icon on w10 is marked with red cross.

check windows sound settings
set them to the monitors speakers (using the connected gpus amd/nvidia/intel sound driver)
and check the monitors volume setting

what video cable are you using (hdmi, dvi, display port, or vga/d-sub) ?

If checking windows setings doesn't work - sound might not be supported by the connection type that you are using, or a separate cable is required for sound. Refer the manual's setup pages.

Only HDMI and DP can transport audio signals. If you aren't using either one of these, there is no sound.

Thank you guys but I did it.
So all I had to do is to connect separate cable ( which stupid me ignored and didn't know it was inside the package )

Btw vga cable is connected, no hdmi bcs I don't own one

Thanks again

Some monitors don't support sound over hdmi, just in case you think that getting one will definitely work. Hdmi supports sound, but the monitor has to as well.
