I am STILL playing around with idea of getting Samsung 950D, though was waiting a bit to see if 750D came out.

I want to use the HDMI out on my GPU for audio only, while using DVI-D for video. I did a small experiment not long ago, running current 60hz monitor from dvi, while using HDMI for audio only and worked fine, as I expected.

However, with HDMI not being able to deliver 120Hz, would I still be able to run 120Hz on 950d if was still using HDMI for audio? It's just that disabling the monitor plugged into HDMI also disables audio on that port.

Or do I have no choice but to get a sound card which can do 5.1 over optical?
 
Why do you want your sound routed through the monitor? So you can use one set of speakers for console and PC?
