If you are not using monitor speakers for sound, skip this step.
If you are using speakers built into a flat panel monitor, the sound volume might be too low for an entertainment environment such as watching DVDs. Many flat panel monitor designs offer built-in speakers that are suitable for a desktop computing environment, but most monitor designs do not have speakers capable of delivering an experience that is loud enough for entertaining several people from a distance.
To work around this, connect powered speakers to the computer and place them near the monitor.
