Hi guys,

This may be a really silly question

What it is im wondering if i connect a HDMI cable to my computer will it transmit the sound as well? Like it does on a Playstation or Blu Ray ETC.

Basicly i want to connect my PC to my TV at home i was wondering if i connect the HDMI if i will get video/sound or just Video, Then i will need to use the headphone jack again.

Ah that makes things nice and easy then, can leave a HDMI conected to my TV and just swap inputs

Cheers

This is going to sound like a really odd question again i think.

Im looking at getting a new computer setup, a Sandybridge mobo with Intel 2500k CPU, If my Graphics card only has DVI out but the motherboard has an HDMI out, would the HDMI socket use my graphics card signal OR only the on board graphics.

Basicly will the HDMI on the mobo only display the onboard graphics card or will it pipe out my PCI-e graphics.

Thanks in advance

Thats really cool and very handy for me, as im getting an HDMI monitor, should i wait for Ivybridge? will it be a lot more money?
