Splitting the sound from HDMI
I just bought a Viewsonic monitor with 1080 HD and although the video is excellent but the sound is awful. It appears as though the HDMI is taking ownership of the sound and transmitting it to the rinky dink speakers embedded in the monitor. I would like to use the regular desktop speakers I have always used that worked well but as long as the HDMI is plugged in they do not work. When I changed the connection to the monitor to VGA, the speakers work again but I lose the HD quality on the video. Is there anyway to use the old speakers for sound and HDMI for video. I surely hope there is or else I will feel as though I have lost my money on this monitor!
Thank you in advanced!
