That sort of thing usually involves plugging a couple of fly leads between the monitor and the mic and spkr sockets on your sound card. Then you use it just the same as if you'd plugged independent microphone and speakers into your sound card. Sometimes it might involve a special video/audio lead at the back of the monitor that splits into separate video and audio connections at the computer end. Not sure that I'm keen on mics in monitors (they're usually not in a brilliant position), but I sure wish more manufacturers would embed speakers into the monitor cabinet. It's a pain having to have all these boxes on the desk, and plugged into the wall, when all you want to be able to hear is a few beeps to alert you about things while you're using your PC. -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
