    Dell LCD Monitor with build in speakers

    Hello

    I just got a Dell LCD Monitor with build in speakers. The funny thing is that it also requires another DC power supply for the speakers! IMO couldn't the speakers be powered by the ps of the monitor?

    Thanks!

    Yes. And many Dell monitors do just that.

    For a number of reasons, both health and personal, I will no longer be active on this board. Any PMs asking for assistance will be ignored.

    Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic.

      Thanks for the reply!

      Has anyone did this as a mod? I didn't get the adaptor with the monitor....I wonder how many amps is required?

        Well if you say the model of the monitor we could make some guesses....

        Or maybe you can make some snapshots of the boards inside and maybe we can guess the amplifier chip by what it's written on it and therefore we'll be able to tell you how much it needs.

        A wild guess...the adapter was probably anywhere between 7.5 and 12v @ 1-2 A ...
