Jan 9, 2016 14 0 4,560 Hi forumites, First of all, I'm not a really techy kind of person. I just need an answer in simple terms that I can grasp easily. I have 2 monitors hooked up to one desktop. Monitor 1 - Samsung Curved Gaming Monitor 27" Monitor 2 - Hisense UHD Smart TV 50" Note: They both have internal speakers built in. The Samsung one is connected through DVI-D to HDMI (only this one is audio jacked to my PC). The Hisense one is connected through HDMI to HDMI Is it possible for me to get audio outputs from both monitors at the same time instead of just Monitor 1? Note: I'm not using any external speakers, just the build-in speakers of my monitors.

I'm using the 970 GTX series. I checked the control panel u mentioned it does has something called the Setup Digital Audio settings Upvote 0 Downvote T
