Presumably the first monitor is not detected as having an hdmi audio
capability?  Does it have built in speakers?

&gt; <br>
&gt; So is the audio going to the monitor on the HDMI connection?   If so,<br>
&gt; then you need the volume controls for the HDMI audio device, not the<br>
&gt; motherboard audio device.   In alsamixer, use F6 and select the HDMI<br>
&gt; device.<br>
<br>
Under ALSAMIXER there is no hdmi device, yet the sound, without vu control comes out \
the monitor headphone socket.<br> With another monitor, ASUS, there IS a hdmi sound \
device and the level can be changed<br> <br>
  The USB sound dongle was $10 so I'll mutter the rude word, beeep, and keep using \
it, where all is works as expected<br> <br>
Thanks<br>
