Hi guys Im wanting to hook my new tv to my PC. My problem is my HDMI port is occupied. I have a Radeon 5850 Card with 1 DP, 1 HDMI, and 2 DVI ports. My Monitor has 1 VGA, 1 DVI , and one HDMI. My TV has HDMI only. My monitor is hooked through HDMI. I was going to just get a DP to HDMI adaptor for the TV but I do not know if that combo will carry sound. I need sound to the TV but not the monitor because I use external speakers plugged into my MB for the PC but would like to use the tv speakers when utilizing the TV but if I cant easily thats ok.. I hope you get my problem. How would you configure this??
According to http://www.displayport.org/consumer/?q=content/faq DP to HDMI will not carry sound only DP++ will. Why not use HDMI for TV?
