Dell 2408WFP: Audio from multiple inputs?

[Valke]

Alright, now this may be a complete noob question, but I'm just stepping into this realm. I've read other places of people having multiple inputs (hd box,game systems) hooked up to a Dell 2408WFP monitor through each of the available inputs(hdmi,composite,component,s-video). My question is what is that since only the HDMI has audio going in or out of the monitor, what is the best way to get audio for all the equipment hooked up?

Also I know this question spans two different sections of the forum(display/audio) but I figured I would take a shot here.

Does anyone use any of the inputs on the Dell monitors besides hdmi?

What exactly do you want to achieve? You want to use your monitors internal speakers instead of a dedicated sound system?

Have you tried plugging the equipment into your speakers? The 2408 isn't meant to be an audio switch - it just does video, except for the hdmi port.

That's why I was asking how people would set up audio if they had multiple things hooked up to the monitor. I'm assuming some kind of audio receiver would need to be used?
