I am looking to buy a Dell UP2720q monitor for my 2018 15" MBP. Kind of tired waiting for LG 27MD5KL to show up again here in Europe.
Noticed the Dell has no speakers, and so far I understood the manual, has no audio over Thunderbolt or HDMI, but it has a 3.5 mm audio out. Does it mean that I get no sound attaching a speaker to the 3.5mm ??
What could be the options to attach speakers when using one thunderbolt cable scenario from MBP to Dell?

Straight from the manual:
