It could be required if she decided to hook her speakers into the back of the monitor for now because that jack should work fine (if it's enabled) unlike the front audio jack and it's not to hard for her to get at.

I understand that you are concerned about ease of access here.  And that's fine.  But keep in mind, that small barrel jack on the monitor, and the PC's front I/O are designed for "headphones".  They can work with small speakers, sure.  But won't provide much power to drive a set of speakers efficiently.  Plus, you will lose some software control of them from the PC itself.  Use that method if you must KT, but I would highly recommend using the green speaker jack directly from the sound card.  That port is meant to drive speakers.

It is said that they have fixed the directory listing for steam games.  I haven't tried fixing mine in a while.  But I still have a small handful of games that only want to run from the C drive.

The monitor seems to be missing the sound bar, however, so I don't think I can use the monitor for sound anyway...

Also, silly question but, is staring at a cold cathode fluorescent lighting for a long time bad on the eyes?

Also if she doesn't end up using the monitor's audio out then disabling the Nvidia audio driver might be done for less confusion.

That might be for the best, then.

This is just a little something that good for a few chuckles.
