Solved! Getting sound from alienware monitor

[pensfan56]

I have 2 hdmi ports on this monitor, (hdmi 1)one goes to computer, (hdmi 2) to cable box for tv. Question is can I get (hdmi 2) to play through the computer speakers?

No, the HDMI ports don't feed back audio to the computer. If you want the cable box to use the computer speakers you can buy a audio selector switch and swap between the two or a mixer to have both things play.

Would this work?

Only if the devices have 3.5mm jacks for audio out or you get adapters.
