Can I Use an Adapter with My Monitor's VGA Port for Other Devices?

VGA is strictly for video signals, so it won't support audio or USB devices. If your monitor doesn't have a built-in USB hub, then your best bet is to plug those devices directly into your computer instead.

You can't connect peripherals like keyboards or soundbars directly to a monitor that only has a VGA port. Those devices should be plugged into your computer instead. What other ports does your computer have? That’s where you should connect your keyboard and soundbar.

Just a heads up, if your monitor only has a VGA input, it can't process sound or connect keyboards directly. You might want to consider getting a monitor with additional ports if you need those functions.

If your monitor has a USB hub, you could connect devices like keyboards or a soundbar through that, but remember to connect a USB cable from your monitor to the computer for it to work!
