Hello, I have this monitor together with the AE515M soundbar. The soundbar is connected to the monitor with USB. When my laptop with USB-C is selected as input, the soundbar works normally. When my MacPro via HDMI or my PC via DP is selected as input, I have no sound, even though the monitor is selected for audio output in the operating system. Does anyone know the problem?

Good day! I do not know the problem as such, as I do not operate the monitor with a soundbar. However, please bear in mind that when you select audio output to the monitor, the audio data is transferred via HDMI and the sound output built into the monitor is addressed (audio out socket). Although the sound bar is connected to the monitor via USB, it cannot be addressed by the monitor because the built-in USB hub connects the devices connected via USB to the lap. Consequently, you have to switch the sound output on your MacBook to the soundbar (via the selection menu on the speaker icon at the top right), even if you have connected it to the monitor. If you don't want to do this, you have to connect the Soundbar to the monitor via audio cable. I hope this helps.
