Question No sound from my internal Benq LCD Monitor speakers?

My monitors model ID is XL2720-B and type is XL2720T.

It's a hand me down monitor and I've been trying to get the internal speakers to work. I have my laptop connected through an HDMI cabel. I've also tried to connect my nintendo switch with it's own HDMI cabel, but no sound is coming.

When I am in playback settings, it shows that sound is coming through the monitor, but I can't hear anything. I have tried to disable all other playback devices as well, but no sound. I have turned the volume all the way up, both on the monitor and on my computer, but it's not working.

When I plugged in some ear buds into my monitor, it worked. So it seems to be something with the monitor?

It doesnt have any speakers m8 thats why theres no sound coming out. You can plug in a jack yeh but it'll just take the sound from the hdmi.

Thank you :) I was told it had built in speakers, but maybe they misunderstood as well
