    Hello everyone,

    So far loving the Z12. One question though... I have it connected via HDMI to a 24" Acer that unfortunately doesn't have a headphone jack. Is there any way to have the audio come through the Z instead so I can just plug my headphones into the computer? It's a little annoying but it sucks not being able to use headphones or external speakers when connected to this monitor. Thanks in advance!

    yes. right click on the volume icon in the taskbar. click "playback devices". Either set your speakers to default in there (right click) or rightclick on the HDMI audio device and select "disable".
