These monitors all promote the number of video inputs. The primary benefit of having multiple inputs is that you can connect multiple devices to a monitor (a gaming PC, a Mac, gaming console, a work laptop etc.). So if one is using them with multiple devices, how is one supposed to switch audio when switching systems? Yes, it supports ARC. But having an ARC port on TV in-lieu of a 3.5mm port is acceptable. Most people will connect a sound bar or a receiver to a TV. But on a PC monitor that's typically placed on a desk, how many people use a sound-bar? Some might, but I suspect most will choose to use regular PC speakers which typically use a 3.5 mm jack. If one has multiple computers hooked up, is one supposed to keep switching speaker cables from one computer to another?
I see posts on Reddit or on other forums all the time. People get these monitors and suddenly realize there is no audio out. Or one is forced to use the ARC port which reduces the usable input ports by one. Can't say I blame the consumers. Folks are just conditioned to assume a monitor will have an audio-out port. And unfortunately, most online reviews don't bring attention to this omission. It's mentioned in the written description, but not in video reviews. And they often show up in 'best-of' lists without bringing attention to this important consideration.
It's such a stupid design decision to save pennies on a $1300 MSRP monitor.

I'll note that if I bought again I'd go via Best Buy since I have totaltech and it would cover any burn in (for up to two years) or you can buy geek squad for it. Dell supposedly does but they only send refurb/used replacements from what I have read.

Maybe they're trying to push the removal of the headphone jack to pocket the savings and push other products the same as phones where the majority don't use it and it leaves out people who do use the headphone jacks. It's complicated, it's either money or big if, maybe pushing technology such as wireless earphones that is good enough for casual user. This puzzles me since this price point isn't budget or casual. They sell knowing people with money see "first gen 32 inch 4k oled" and they pocket the savings on the headphone jack knowing most people who buy this won't use it. Or enough people do use the headphone jack but the people in charge pocket the savings anyways. When they start losing to competition on most specs is when they put it back in.
Same with issue with splitter. Just more wiring. Also, consoles don't have 3.5mm output, so a splitter won't help. I'm not saying there is no solution. Just that all of that wouldn't be needed if the monitor just had a 3.5mm port. Like even $100 monitors do!
