Hi,
I've brought a hp monitor and planned to use it in my kitchen with my firestick.
All works fine but no sound, no jack, no built in speakers. There is only another HDMI port, is there anyway I can get sound?
 
Solution
You need a device called "HDMI Audio Extractor" (plugged between the stick and the monitor), and a pair of speakers where to output the sound.

Another option would be to get HDMI-enabled sound bar.

Seems awkward for a kitchen. The output of the extractor is always fixed volume.
You would also need powered speakers with their own volume control.
A real TV would make more sense.
