Saw that on pcper the other day Greg and wondered why nowt was made of it. There would be a 1000+ posts flaming thread by now if the other side had dared
Maybe but it just seems strange. Maybe AMD will be selling leads at Apple type prices.

Who cares, it's a GPU not a soundcard
Are you sure its not a sound card with a GPU as a bonus?

100% agreed.

It's a GPU with a soundchip, similar to the soundchips you can find on high end motherboards.
They actually said it has to do with blocking non-bundled DVI-HDMI adapters. If you desolder the chip or in some way disable it, you get no audio too. That's whack.
The only explanation they offered was "not wanting to support other peoples' hardware" but I think it's inexcusable.
Wizardry. Nah someone said the forums data is stored in 2 different places now and there's some latency issues at times between the two.
Where did they say that?

lol ^
Gotta say I've not even blinked at True Audio. It might very well be good but what with onboard audio chipsets being not so bad these days. Not fussed...
Damnit. Just seen I put 'uses' instead of 'users'...Rusty will be throwing rotten veg at me now via email
I can see I will loose this one
lose*
Damn you - I wanted the honour!
I think people are getting a bit to exited over this audio / cables business and seeing conspiracies everywhere.
"If you desolder the chip or in some way disable it, you get no audio too. That's whack" well, take out the CPU in your computer, you get no computer, surprisingly.
And if something "doesn't work" with this or that cable that is not "blocking it" its simply that "it doesn't work with that cable" hence why they are supplying cables.

I now get the feeling you'll be scouring my every post to get me back
To be more specific according to the story presented by pcper if you do not use a AMD branded DVI to HDMI connector that follows with your Radeon gfx the HDMI sound will not be passed through.
The reason im correcting it Greg is if there is another slow thinker like myself that thought you were talking about the True Audio system which this isnt about.
Now to my opinion about it. WTF..... how pointless is that, no body is going to use the dvi port anyway for sound as up until now Radeon cards have had a seperate HDMI port. Now if they were to drop that and only offer HDMI through the DVI port then again WTF?!?
Thank god its such a small stupid thing and not something that is severely going to affect your user experience.
