S2417DG, audio setup?

Question

I own a monitor S2417DG, it has no speakers but it should have the audio output. I'm not sure how to make the NVIDIA audio work, what should I connect and where (cables, speakers, headphones, monitor, vga)? I can connect both jack and USB headphones to the S2417DG, the sound with the USB headphones is working but they obviously don't use the NVIDIA audio. Also, is the S2417DG driver from Dell website needed? Because if I try to install it, it instantly says 'driver installed' which doesn't seem normal to me.

Is it possible to switch between headphones and lineout? Like having speakers hooked up through the lineout port, but then switch to headphones when headphones are plugged into the headphone port?
