BenQ BL3200PT external speakers

[snowboardpunk]

Hey guys, I just received my benq bl3200pt and I connected it to my 2016 rMBP to the screen through dp1.2. I get sound from the speakers that are on my monitor but no sound from the external speakers. I connected the speakers to the back of the monitor but can't get sound to play from it.

What is the rMBP? Does it use the standard 3.5mm audio jack?

Retina MacBook Pro and it does. If I connect it to my laptop it does work but its just a little more annoying because I have to disconnect everything when I need to take my laptop away. Is there a way to use the audio jack behind the monitor?

So are you just using dp from macbook to monitor or are you using a 3.5mm audio cable to the monitor too ??

Maybe there's somewhere where you tell the BenQ to use the speakers & not its own.

The jack on the back of the monitor is an audio line in , the headphone jack is on the side of the monitor not the back - bottom right.
