Integrated Dual Monitors?

Am just having a fiddle on my girlfriends new PC i build few days ago.

I currenty havent put in a GFX card in it, and am running a T220 on the integrated DVI but as there is also a HDMI port i was wondering if your can set up daul between them?

Going to watch a film later via the HDMI to her TV, so really just a matter of intrest as the Monitor goes off when HDMI is connected.

cheers

I wouldn't have dual monitors on onboard graphics.

I wouldnt myself... am just wondering if it can be done. only for while watching a film.

I'm yet to find any board which will run two monitors from the onboard graphics. I believe it is possible to run three with an nvidia chipset and nvidia card, but I may be wrong in this and two would be connected to the card anyway.

Asus M4A785TD-V Evo AMD 785G (Socket AM3) PCI-Express DDR3 Motherboard...

It is more than likley it is not possable, as i know the VGA and DVI port can not run together, i was unsure is the HDMI port was separate....

..but i have stumbled across another problem. my HDMI is not giving sound to the TV. Even after making the HDMI digital soundout put default in playback devices...?
