the built-in speakers on my ex2710q sound tinny and have no bass, is mine broken?

— asked by Sam

Quick answer: This is the expected performance of the monitor's 2W internal speakers. They are designed for basic audio, not for gaming or media depth.

Diagnosis

This is the expected performance of the monitor's 2W internal speakers. They are designed for basic audio, not for gaming or media depth. The perceived lack of bass is a physical limitation of the small speaker drivers.

How to Fix It

Use the monitor's audio output for quality sound. Connect external speakers or a headset to the 3.5mm Audio Out jack on the rear I/O panel. This will bypass the internal speakers completely. Configure your PC or console to output audio via HDMI/DisplayPort as normal.

If That Didn't Work

If you must use the internal speakers, you can adjust their profile. Press the joystick for the OSD. Navigate to Sound > Treble and reduce it to 2. Navigate to Sound > Bass and increase it to 8. Navigate to Sound > Audio and select 'Game' or 'Movie' mode instead of 'Standard'.

Heads Up

The monitor's 'TreVolo' audio branding refers to the tuning software, not a subwoofer. Do not expect significant low-frequency response. For the best experience, BenQ intended the Audio Out jack to be used with the included, compatible speaker set or a user's own high-quality audio solution.
