Just from a quick search I found this:

"Hdmi is dvi plus audio. A video card doesn't handle audio, of course,
which is why they don't come with hdmi. Evidently, since your new monitor
is hdmi, it has audio. So you'll have to run a separate line for that."

I think you just need to get a good video card with DVI output, and use an
HDMI adapter.


I'm just building my son a new gaming rig and whilst shopping around for
components I deff saw an advert that said something along the lines of
"True HDMI output (delivers video+audio , no need for seperate cables)"


The only problem I see with that is that you can't control the quality of
the audio card built in to the video card. Unless it is a 7.1 192k 10/10
audio card (at least) I don't want it.

So there must be a solution available now , Ill have a browse around and
see if I stumble across it again.
