ViewSonic Sound - What is my ViewBoard's Device Name?

Under output, choose your device's name, such as Cast-1843, but I doubt that's your device's name. You need to use yours. In our office, ours is called vCastAudio

A computer screen displays sound output options, including speakers and external devices.

Once you have selected the proper device, you should hear sound.

 

If you used vCast Sender, you can send via that app, or if you used HDMI, then reseat the cable to return to your laptop's desktop.
