The 3.5mm connection is an audio input used to supply analogue sound to the built-in speakers. It is not a headphone output.

Audio can be supplied through:

• HDMI
• The 3.5mm analogue audio-input connection

The included audio cable can be used when the connected computer does not transmit audio through HDMI, including compatible VGA-based installations.
