HP f2304 Speaker Sound

[SuperSabra]

For some reason, I have not been able to get any sound out of these speakers.  I have them plugged in properly, tested other speakers with the machine, and tried changing volume, settings and different programs.I have been through the support areas regarding this matter.  Is there something I am missing?  I know they work, because my boss used this monitor last week.  Speakers worked fine.  Is there a driver or setting that I need to change or add?

What video cable are you using for the monitor? Is it hdmi (black), vga (blue) or dvi (white)?

1) Make sure the green audio cable in plugged in properly in the back of the lcd and the back of the pc in the green color coated port for the front audio.

Aternatively you can try plugging the able in the front green audio out port if the one in  the back isn't working.

2) Check under the Sound Playback Devices by right clicking on the white speakers icon on the bottom right of the screen and choose Playback Devices.

Make sure that is Speakers and that is says working.

Also, Speakers should have agreen checkmark meaning it's the default playback device.

If it does then leave it as is, if not right click on it and choose Set As Default Playback Device.

3) Also check to make sure the volume is not muted from the keyboard or windows.

4) You can try to reinstall the original sound driver for the computer from hp.com and then restart the pc and go through steps 2-3 above again.

5) Try this link and see if there's something I missed.

Could this be a problem similar to the one I am experiencing with my HP w2408h?  Here it is: if I connect the monitor using the HDMI cable, I get great picture but poor sound coming from the built-in speakers.  If I connect the monitor using the VGA cable, I get degraded video but, with that connection, I can use the analog green connector and my subwoofer (and get much better sound).  I have not found how I can use the analog sound output from the computer while using the HDMI connection; it seems using HDMI disables the green connector output...
