Connecting HP w1907v Monitor speakers to HP Pavilion a6430.uk

Question

I cannot get the correct speaker connection from the monitor to the tower and therefore have no sound available to me.
Can anybody help, please?

1) What video cable are you using from the computer to the monitor?
If it's an HDMI cable then the sound should go through that cable.
In this case there's no need to have the green audio cable from lcd to monitor connected, only the HDMI (black).
If the HDMI cable is used then make sure that the "Realtek HDMI output" is the default playback device. 
You can check this by rightclicking on the white speakers on the bottom right corner of your screen next to the time and select Playback Devices. 
Make sure the the Realtek HDMI output has a green checkmark. If it does then it should be fine, but if it doesn't, rightclick on it and select "set as default device".
Be sure to disconnect the audio cabel with the green color at the end from the lcd if you're going to the HDMI cable.
2) If you're using a VGA (blue)or DVI (white) cable for video then you must plug in the thin audio cable that came with your monitor to get sound.
The cable is green at one or both ends and goes in the back of the lcd and in the back of the computer in the round "doughnut shaped" color coated port. That's for front audio out.
It won't work in any of the other ports.
NOTE: You can also connect the audio cable to the front of the pc in the headphone jack instead if you want.
If the green audio cable is used then you have to make sure that"Speakers" is the default playback device in the sound options.
You can check this by rightclicking on the white speakers on the bottom right corner of your screen next to the time and select Playback Devices. 
Make sure the the Speakers has a green checkmark. If it does then it should be fine, but if it doesn't, rightclick on it and select "set as default device".
Hope this helps and sorry for the long post.
