Do you have a link to the manual of the display?

I don't think that display has speakers. It does have an audio output (with volume control) for headphones (or speakers), which should give you the HDMI audio output.

EDIT: I could not find anything about speakers or audio in the manual but I guess I'm completely wrong.

it does... at least they work in windows

in windows a speaker device shows up when i connect them

turned out to be just a wrong profile in the top selection box
