U2518D, headphone usage is not supported
Hello community,
I recently bought the U2518D. The monitor does have an audio output port. The sound output to my headphones works well, but the microphone from the headset is not found. I work with an ThinkPad T470S operating on Windows 7 and a desktop workstation operating on Windows 10. Both similar problem.
Any idea, how to fix the problem?
Kind Regards

The U2518D does have the Audio line-out port. But the U2518D User's Guide specifically states on page 9 =
Connect speakers to playback audio coming through HDMI or DP audio channels
Only supports 2-channel audio
NOTE: The audio line-out port does not support headphones
WARNING: Excessive sound pressure from earphones or headphones can cause hearing damage or loss
Based on that, my advice is to plug your headset (headphone/microphone) directly into the computer.
