      @technobabble The DVI actually carries the audio. The system is basically using the DVI connector as an HDMI connector. So it sees an audio device plugged in.

      We've solve the mystery of why it wants to do it. Now the mystery is, why does turning it off on the card not turn it off?

      Thanks @scottalanmiller for bringing the discussion back on track...this is what I has hoping to find out!

      You said you DISABLED the device under Windows Sound Playback Devices?

        The nVidia driver could see the connection and kill the sound.

        @Dashrender I thought that too, but if I disabled the drivers in Devices manager and disabled in nVidia software no sound occured. How is that? Freaky...

          I'm seeing a weird problem like that right this second..

          all of my normal sounds are coming out of my plugged in speakers, but for whatever reason, the webinar I'm watching is coming out of the internal HP speaker (hard to hear).

            • I checked nVidia's software and there was a DVI audio link, so I disabled it.
            • Disabled nVidia drivers in the device manager under Sound

                    I really should have speakers on my work PC...I haven't had sound since since 2011 on my W7 PC. I mean I have earbuds connected for occasional music or webinar. I am usually surprised at the noises Windows makes when onsite with a clients PC.

                      That's odd. I have speakers on and I don't think that my Windows makes any sounds.

                        If it's using Webex or GoTo Meeting, it could be a presentation setting, like something you'd set in Skype.

                          Yeah I looked through those presentation settings, so far no changes.

                            Ok, I just thought of something really obvious. Enable the device for the DVI link, and turn up the volume on the monitor. Do you get sound?

                              That's the only thing that makes sense. Really weird...

                                  Yes. That was for you. We need to establish if in the process of killing sound from the speakers if the sound even works from the DVI to HDMI in the first place.

                                        Yes the volume was up. The sound works though the monitor speakers if connected via 3.5mm jack and VGA cord.

                                          I was more looking to see if it worked with the adapter itself. I wonder if there is an issue with the adapter.

                                            ok...adapter = DVI to HDMI cord Asus provided with either the monitor or PC. Which was previously attached and no sound would come out when used with the 3.5mm sound cord.
