Do I need a sound card for my monitor?

gobzillax · Apr 9, 2014

Whenever I use my monitor, the sound isn't transferred via the HDMI cable from the motherboard. It doesn't show up on the list of output devices (Mac)

Do I need a sound card or other apparatus to make this work?

Monitor: Asus VX238H
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z87X-UDH5
OS: OSX Mavericks 10.9.2 (Hackintosh)
Graphics card: EVGA Nvidia Geforce GTX 760 2GB superclocked

Thank you

no, you can run an audio lead from the back of the motherboard to the monitors audio input.

I presume you are using the HDMI to send the video and audio signal from your video card to speakers built in the monitor? If so, what video card are you using?

If not, please provide more info on how you are set up.

After installing the HDMI dsplay and HDMI cable, make sure to set the default sound playback device to HDMI.
(The item name may differ depending on your operating system.)

In Windows 8, select All apps>Control Panel>Hardware and Sound>Sound>Playback, set Intel Display Audio to the default playback device.
