Not too sure, don't know if this helps. I have one hooked up to my LCD TV and no sound comes out the TV, it's still output via the PC speakers. Not sure if there is a setting or something like that. Although in the Sound settings in Control Panel (on Vista) I have listed "Digital Output Device (HDMI)" - High Definition Audio Device - Working (then an icon of a TV).

Not sure tbh with you. lol I think I'm just as confused.

The 4870 uses a special DVI -> HDMI adaptor that does sound. If everything goes to plan sound will work fine.

The 4870 does sound over HDMI.

You will need to use a HDMI lead and the DVI - HDMI adapter.

cool so ill just get a hdmi-hdmi lead then and use their adapter.

Guys I only get sound (on PC) when i disable the 'HD ATI Audio driver', I connect using on-board sound. I'm not missing out on anything because I cant get sound through the ATI driver am I?
