I picked up a monitor during a Black Friday sale, but it turns out it has no audio support at all. It has a VGA and an HDMI port, so I'm wondering if there's any way I could get sound output - maybe through some kind of adapter or something I could use with my PS5? I'm considering options like using a headset with the PS5 controller. I chose this monitor for its low latency for gaming, and I'm really bummed about the lack of audio support. Any tips would be greatly appreciated, but I'm starting to think I'm out of luck!

Consider getting an HDMI to VGA adapter that includes audio pass-through. That way, you can connect speakers through the 3.5mm jack. They’re usually cheap, but keep in mind that VGA is analog, so you won't get the best picture quality.
If your monitor doesn’t have speakers, you're pretty much stuck without sound. But if it does have them, a simple HDMI cable would allow audio to work. Also, look for PS5 speakers that connect via USB or Bluetooth.
Since the monitor doesn’t have built-in speakers, you can't get sound directly from it. You can either get an external sound bar or speakers that plug into your audio output. Look for ones that support the 3.5mm jack.
You can use a Bluetooth headset or a good set of USB speakers. Just remember that monitors usually have poorer audio quality if they're using HDMI.
You might want to check out this adapter that connects your PS5 to 3.5mm audio, letting you use basic speakers or headphones. There are also options for higher quality speakers using fiber optic audio if you need better sound.
