3. Identify the corresponding input port on your BenQ GW2780 monitor. This monitor typically has HDMI, DisplayPort, and VGA ports.
4. Choose the appropriate cable to connect your computer to the monitor. For example, if both your computer and the monitor have HDMI ports, use an HDMI cable for a digital connection. If your computer has a VGA port and the monitor has a VGA port, use a VGA cable for an analog connection.
5. Connect one end of the chosen cable to the video output port on your computer.
6. Connect the other end of the cable to the corresponding input port on your BenQ GW2780 monitor.
7. Ensure that the cable is securely connected on both ends.
8. Turn on your BenQ monitor.
9. Turn on your computer.
10. Your computer should recognize the BenQ monitor and automatically extend or mirror the display, depending on your computer's settings.
If your computer doesn't automatically detect the monitor, you may need to adjust the display settings manually. Refer to your computer's user manual or operating system documentation for instructions on how to do this.

There could be several reasons why the volume is not working on your BenQ GW2780 monitor. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:
1. Make sure the audio cable is properly connected from your source device (e.g., computer) to the monitor. Ensure it is plugged into the correct port (usually labeled "Audio In" on the monitor).
2. Check the volume levels on both the monitor and your source device. Ensure the volume is not muted and is set to an audible level on both.
3. If the volume control buttons are present on the monitor, ensure they are not stuck or malfunctioning. Try pressing them to adjust the volume.
4. Check the audio settings on your source device. Ensure the correct audio output is selected and the volume is not muted.
5. If you are using HDMI or DisplayPort to connect your source device to the monitor, ensure that the audio output is enabled in the settings of your device's operating system.
6. Try connecting a different set of speakers or headphones directly to your source device to determine if the issue lies with the monitor or the audio source.
7. Restart your source device and monitor to reset any potential software glitches that may be causing the issue.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, it is possible that there may be a hardware problem with the monitor's audio components. In such cases, contacting BenQ customer support or taking the monitor to a professional technician for further inspection and repair would be recommended.
