Yes. I connected the speakers with cable, but I'm not hearing any audio and I'm not sure why.

EDIT: Nevermind, I just had to turn the volume all the way up on the Audio Interface because my monitor volume was set so low.

I don't have a lot of space to have optimal spacing of monitors though.

I used that video to do the monitor settings, but not sure if they are the best way to do it? I'm also sometimes getting screen flickering after I made the changes.

What panel you picked?

You can also reset your settings and start again. However getting HDR and SDR profiles tuned "both at once" is a magic. Many panels don't allow proper HDR in such case, as they simply don't have sufficient hw for that. (But that shouldn't be your case)

Screen flickering after you made the changes? And these disappear in a while or these last? Can you turn DV off?

[mr.hackcrag]

I chose AQ3225QF.

Yes I can turn off DV as I suspect that is the problem. The screen will flicker when I move my mouse and click around or change tabs.

[Pol]

That sounds liked driver/app issue.

Does AQ3225QF come with any driver, is it the latest?
Are you using latest version of your graphic driver?

[mr.hackcrag]

Everything is up to date.

The flickering only happens when Dolby Vision is on.

Should I set refresh rate to 120 instead of 240?

[Pol]

Try that but that thread is overall not much positive.

Anyway, for a mere desktop you can live even with 100Hz without noticing it.

In games however more is merrier and it should work on max. Otherwise you certainly overpaid.

[Pol]

And ofc, if you can live without DV it's also good. Just remember that I asked you

This, if you have Gaming PC with Win11, there's good advice to disable "Core Isolation". Might helps at more places and it's official advice from Microsoft.

I watched HDR videos in youtube with dolby vision and there was no flickering. There was also no flickering when playing Wuthering Waves. Flickering only happened when doing desktop stuff outside of the HDR content.

What do I do with these that came with the speakers? I'm not sure what they are but they are like foam. I assume they are meant to reduce interference of sound, but I'm still not sure how to use them if at all.

[Pol]

Ah, Wuthering Waves I would also like to play

Yes, so it's basically windows problem, when these are in desktop mode. Hence, back to drivers or settings. Did you try to disable "Core Isolation"?

These works as mini legs/pads, to prevents transferring interferences from the repro to the desk, or otherwise. It's better to use them
