How to get sound for Blu Ray player via BenQ monitor

[kayleighbob]

I have my Samsung Blu Ray player hooked up to my BenQ GL2450 monitor, but I'm struggling to get sound? The player has a Coaxial Audio Out on the back, and I have a set of speakers but how would I get the jack plugged in?

You would need to use a home receiver. That Ben-Q model doesn't have sound. You can pass video to it. You need to route your BD player's audio out to a home receiver and connect your speakers, also the receiver.

Is has a Coaxial Audio on the back, could i get some sort of converter to plug an audio jack in?

Are your speakers Powered? If they have no amplifier or if they do not also plug into the wall socket somehow, I doubt any adapter would work.

Yeah, they plug into the wall

There are cables that are coaxial on one side and 3.5mm on the other. Is your speaker input a 3.5mm jack?

You can convert the digital out of the Bluray to analog with one of these:

You would have to control the volume from the speakers.
