Sound from both connected monitors

Options
Hi
My pc is connected to 2 monitors via a gtx 750ti graphics card.
Can either choose sound to come from the pc or the 1st monitor.

Is it possible to get sound coming from both monitors at the same time and how? Lots of noise but for klds to play games and watch you tube at the same time.

Connection is via HDM and DVi cable.W10.
Thanks

    HDMI possible. DVI no

    IIRC DVI is only Digital Video, HDMI carries both sound + video

    You could probably do it with a Y splitter if your card doesn't have seperate HDMI outputs

    A Y splitter will prevent you from extending the desktop so you'll just get the same image mirrored on both displays.

    If the graphics card will support audio over DVI, (a GTX750ti probably will), use a DVI-I to HDMI adapter/cable (assuming the 2nd monitor has an HDMI socket). Whether Windows will send the audio via both HDMI and DVI ports is a separate matter - it might see both ports as separate audio playback devices.

    Thanks, actually graphics card has 2 HDMI outputs as well as DVI, will go to Poundland tomo for a cheap HDMI cable. Maybe can get to work then.
