Sound System Through Monitor? Wireless?

[tpat30]

Hello,

Is there any difference between plugging a sound system into a monitor rather than the computer(sound doesn't work)? And if there is any difference is it worth getting a sound system for around $150 (Klipsch ProMedia 2.1) that I will plug into my monitor?

Sound system only works if I'm plugged into the headphone jack though, which probably isn't good.

If you guys confirm that this isn't a good idea, then can you recommend any wireless speakers for PC gaming and music? I know there are some bluetooth compact disc players that will connect to my PC, or would you recommend a sounds system with speakers only?

Thank you.

What do you mean by plugging to the monitor? Do you use HDMI cable to connect your PC to monitors?

My sound only works if I plug the green audio button on the speaker system into the monitor's headphone jack.

There's been a reoccurring issue with HP's Enve Phoenix where all sound is "not plugged in" and won't work from the CPU. Only get sound from monitor.

And yes I connect my monitor to PC through HDMI.

That's weird. The sound can not just come from the monitor itself? Is there anyway the sound might come from the computer to monitor?

The monitor will play sound. But I've been wanting a speaker system for gaming and music. The only way that works is if I plug the speakers through the headphone jack.

I wanted to know if that could end up damaging my monitor?

Speakers will work if they're connected through Bluetooth, so I was wondering if there were any good Bluetooth speakers maybe 2.1, for around $100-$150.
