Yes it does pass audio. You just have to make sure that it's selected in your playback options in sounds. Now it will just pass motherboard audio. It's not going to pass audio from your Soundblaster card if you have one installed. Actually come to think of it, I think the card has it's own audio device built in. Because the audio shows up as AMD audio when you check the playback options.

I have the same issue with my onboard HDMI, it only passes 2 ch sound through the cable, hd sound requires an optic cable. According to toms hardware 5770 (and for that matter I believe all 5xxx) cards pass both HD audio and video. I double checked also on a forum and this was confermed.

Yes this card will pass Full HD audio upto 7.1, of course you need to have a mother board that supports HD audio also. The drivers that swich the audio player from your board to the card are a pain sometimes. But my stero and tv system sound and look great with this card.

yes, hdmi cables pass video signals as well as audio signals, on the control panel on your pc make sure the audio is set to HDMI.

All HDMI ports and cables will carry both audio and video signals. That's the convenience of HDMI. One cable does it all. Although the monitor has speakers, I wouldn't expect any quality sound from them. They're very small and have no audio range whatsoever.

My question to you is "If you are hooking up with an HDMI cable, why are you also using and optical cable?". HDMI carries the complete spectrum of audio and does not require an additional audio cable. You may be confusing either the player and/or your audio receiver.

Yes, it works just like any HDMI cable. Both signals Audio & Video are on the cable so nothing else needed.Works really well. I saved me a lot of work as my TV only has one composite port and it;s been taken by my cable box, requiring a cable run through a wall and under a floor.

It actually depends on the video card. Radeon 5000/6000/7000 series will carry audio over hdmi. The laptop most likely had the capability to display but not pass thru audio. I'm not too sure on which nvidia cards do it

HDMI carries sound, audio cable not being switched. You need your audio to come from HDMI input.

Depends on the video card you have on your computer. If you have a intel i3,i5,i7 series with integrated video card. Yes. If you have an older video card with HDMI but without digital sound support, no. This really doesn't depend on the cable rather, depend on your hardware. IF your computer's not over 3 or 4 years old, its should have the updated HDMI video and audio drivers. Also, you have to set up the software so that the sound comes through you hdmi rather than optical or analogue as well.

Sorry this is a VGA cable and this cable will only input video only if you monitor supports VGA... VGA connection has the blue color connection or sometimes black color and no this will not output any audio HDMI does audio and video as well as dvi connection does....

I don't believe the DVI port on the computer graphics card is setup to deliver audio. The possible option would be to get a graphics card that does have a built in HDMI port and the ability to deliver audio. I have a MOBO with an onboard HDMI port and could never get audio pass through. Probably best to use the optical port and the same setup you have now. Hope this helps.

I am not sure that I am techie enuff to give an answer, but you can find an answer by going on GOOGLE. It relates on internet & Wi-Fi standards. The HDMI cable allows me to make one cable connection that carries both sound & picture from computer to HDTV. Before HDMI, you would have to connect two cables (one for sound, one for picture). You have to be sure that the two units you are connecting have HDMI ports... older units do not. Be sure that the HDMI cables are correctly sized. There is the most common full size HDMI, but they also make a mini-HDMI cable. I made a technical snafu when I purchased the cable (I didn't measure the cable length I needed correctly). Obviously had to buy another cable in proper length.

You might have issues there. I'm getting Audio through my other ports as I have had both a PS3 and Wii U hooked up to the unit as well as a Computer from time to time. I've never had any trouble getting Audio through the HDMI. Do you have good cables? If you haven't swapped the cable from your other device, there are plenty of OLDER HDMI cables out there that don't have the audio pathway. HDMI carrying Audio is a slightly newer piece of technology. And also, the device you take the Audio from also has to support passing it over HDMI as well. Older DVD players that can't take firmware updates may not account for this. The PS3 in its infancy didn't do this in the beginning for instance, and I had the audio through an extra optical cable. They updated the firmware to fit the new standard so one nice cable for everything. Hope that helps. Good luck,

It doesn't have conversation to HDMI. What it does is route the selected HDMI input to a single HDMI output. It only outputs the video however. It strips off the selected HDMI audio, processes it and sends it to the attached speakers. So if you have a TV attached, it will display the selected video but won't play the audio. But if the unit is turned off it will pass both audio and video from a single active HDMI on to the HDMI output.

actually it will pass through video but not audio when powered off (at least for my experience/TV) if you turn off hdmi p.save (power saving) in the menu. I do this when playing my PS3 with my headphones connected to the secondary audio/RCA output of the PS3 with an adapter on the PS3 since the HTSS360 has no headphone jack. To do this however you have to enable multiple audio out in your PS3 settings, and remember to turn that off if you want 7.1 sound for blu ray since for some reason enabling multiple audio out for PS3 cuts down LPCM to 5.1 instead of 7.1 with it off. As for TV audio if you use a cable box I'm not sure you can that way, unless you plug a second audio cable from cablebox to one of your TV's inputs and then in audio settings in your TV can set that input as TV audio. Mine has the ability for that but it's not a Sony TV which I'm unfamiliar with.

Run HDMI cabling if possible; you will get better resolution. If you run VGA instead, you may need to run separate audio lines, but HDMI will transmit both video and audio on the same cable.

Is there a DVI to HDMI cable that has an internal audio jack wire built in? Trying to go from PC video card to TV, 25ft. away. Or do I have to purchase an audio card and run a separate 25ft audio cable?

"Standby pass-through of Audio & Video""Conveniently access all your HDMI connected devices without having to power on the receiver". Hope that answers your question my friend.

yes it does. im using only hdmi cables myself and getting both picture and audio. i believe using both may improve sound quality.
