So I recently purchased a monitor and it has no audio jack. I currently have my Xbox connected to it and I’d love to have some speakers but anything I see says it’s impossible. Is there a Bluetooth usb stick and set of speakers I can buy to pair to my Xbox? Or is there any way to connect speakers to my DP port while I’m currently on HDMI 1? I’m not totally sure why to do here is just like some decent sound coming out of my monitor. My monitor also has no built in speakers (I can’t find any type of audio settings on it). The monitor is the ACER NITRO EDT34OCUR

I realize that now I did not do enough research before jumping in lol, I’m absolutely loving the monitor it’s making playing so much better.

Would it work if you plug it into the controller? Or you could try USB speaers if the Xbox doesn't have an audio jack.

Xbox should have Bluetooth, so in theory you could get a Bluetooth capable speaker or sound bar and connect it to the Xbox.

If you plug headphones or a speaker into the controller it will probably work. If your monitor doesn't have audio capacity (no speakers and no jack) then it won't help you in any way whatsoever

So I use my headphones through my controller so in a sense I don’t see why a small speaker couldn’t work, thank you!

Normally I would recommend a direct USB DAC, but apparently Xbox drivers can be bizarre.. This is more likely to work, but won't be as high quality.
