    Speakers on dual monitors

    Ok so now I've got my dual screen setup completed, with two Dell 2209WA TFT's, which are a real beauty.

    I've got screen one in landscape mode and screen two in portrait mode. I was going to buy one Dell Soundbar to add to screen 1 (landscape) but got me thinking.

    If I add a Soundbar to screen 1 will I get sounds from screen 2 as well? Really confused, what does everyone else do in this situation?

    thanks

    Re: Speakers on dual monitors

    The sound comes from your PC, not the display. It doesn't matter how many monitors you have, or which monitor an application is being run on. If they are all connected to the same PC you only need one set of speakers.

    Fantastic, that's what I wanted to hear.

    Thanks for the prompt response, much appreciated.

    Now I wish I ordered the Soundbar with the screens, anyone know the cheapest place to buy the Dell AX510 Soundbar from, incl P&P? Or a pickup anywhere in the greater London area?

    Thanks again
