how are you connected to the monitor?

If you want sound form it, you need to be connected by HDMI. then in sound panel, right click the ATI HDMI device, and hit 'set as default device' (you may need to enable it first)

how do you have your speakers connected? if they are a standard 3.5mm audio jack they should work the same as headphones. If you are using optical or HDMI, you need to enable the relevant device in the sound panel and set it as the default device.
