AFAIK HDMI is an all in one type of thing, it does video and audio in one cable. Yes, it would work.
 
AFAIK you would have to find some way to get your audiosignal from you soundcard/MB to your GFX card for this to work...
 
how do ppl get sound when using the hdmi cable or dvi cable? on these video cards? when using there t.v as speakers?

can or can not?


i would have to buy external speakers?
 
Most HDTVs have either a 3.5mm jack associated with the DVI and/or VGA port for PC sound input. You can just run a 3.5mm cable from your PC's sound card to this port.

Others will just have the left and right audio jacks assocated with each port. You will need a cable like this to connect your sound card to the TV then.

To get sound, you'd have to have HDMI to HDMI, not DVI to HDMI. You can't get sound from a DVI output. Yes, you will still need to use a cable from your soundcard for sound. I have a mini stereo to RCA cable from my PC to my receiver, you should be able to do something similar depending on your tv and what inputs are available.

DVI cables are only for video.... HDMI does both so you cant really use DVI to transmit HDMI...
