[LG monitor] Is there audio noise occurring from the monitor?

Troubleshooting

When a laptop/desktop is connected to a monitor via an HDMI or USB-C cable and sound is played through the connected cable, there may be audio noise due to poor signal quality.
First, it is necessary to check if there is any noise when an external earphone/headset (external speaker) is connected to the laptop/desktop.
If the noise still occurs, try deleting and reinstalling the sound driver on the laptop/desktop.

Try this

① Connect external earphones/headphones (external speaker) to your PC to check if the sound is normal from the speakers.
