Monitor audio to sound card.

[ComputerCurious]

Hi everyone! I ordered three monitors coming in pretty soon for a surround setup and I don't have speakers but the monitors have them built in. So I was wondering if I could plug in the included audio cable with the monitor into my sound card?

You can but since the surround speakers are supposed to be behind you it may not work well coming out the monitor. Can't hurt to try it. Best arrangement would be to use both speakers in the center monitor for "center channel " (you will need a splitter to feed the single center output to both speakers. Use the inner speakers on the outer moniters as left and right front and the outer speakers as left and right rear.
