A question about Graphics Cards and HDMI cables.

by phat stud 55 - 6/29/10 11:01 PM

Hello all. I recently purchased and installed a ATI Radeon HD4350 graphics card. On the box it says the graphics card supports audio. I checked in some programs that I use for audio recording and the audio card within the graphics card is recognized as a valid source.

I would like to connect my PC to my HDTV so I can use it as a second monitor or play games. I would like to only use one cable so the most simple choice is to use a HDMI cable. However the graphics card only has a VGA, S-Video, and DVI outputs. I have read and heard that DVI does NOT support audio. I know that I can buy a DVI to HDMI converter. Will doing this magically allow audio to go into the HDMI cable? It seems kind of pointless to advertise that a card supports audio but there's no way to use it.

Thank you for your time and responses.

Sorry but the documentation looks to be incorrect. Why not ask the card maker, suppliers to supply correct docs?

Many products are showing up with incorrect documentation.

Do you find this acceptable or reprehensible?

but you have 2 same cards with different outputs, so i think they will not print 5 or 6 manuals for all the card versions.

But again its not acceptable.





Cheers,Fema
