VGA does not carry sound. VGA (Video Graphics Array) is a video-only connection that transmits analog video signals from a computer or other video source to a display device such as a monitor or projector. It was a widely used standard for video output in older computers and monitors.
Unlike HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface), which is a digital interface that can transmit both video and audio signals, VGA is purely for video transmission. It uses separate cables or connectors for audio, such as a 3.5mm audio jack or RCA cables, if audio output is required.
When using a VGA connection, you will need to use a separate audio cable or connect speakers directly to your computer’s audio ports to get sound output. This can be done by plugging in a 3.5mm audio cable from the computer’s audio output to the speakers or using RCA cables to connect to the audio ports on the computer and speakers.
It’s worth noting that VGA is an older technology and is gradually being phased out in favor of digital connections like HDMI, which offer better video and audio quality. However, there may still be situations where VGA is used, such as with older computers or certain display devices that only support VGA input.
In my personal experience, I have encountered situations where people mistakenly assumed that VGA carries sound because both video and audio are transmitted through HDMI. This misconception can lead to frustration when trying to get sound output from a VGA connection without using the appropriate audio cables or connections.
To summarize, VGA does not carry sound. If you are using a VGA connection, you will need to use separate audio cables or connect speakers via the audio ports on your computer to get audio output.
