    I have my computer connected DVI to HDMI and a separate audio cable. Works perfectly. I would try the USB to HDMI and the audio cable and see if that works.

    Are you trying to connect your computer to a TV. You will need a HDMI output to make that work and have audio. USB and DVI do not support either Video (USB) or DVI (Sound).
    To get a HDMI output you'll need a new Video Card.

    So, on the back of my TV, the first HDMI says HDMI/DVI. Does that mean it can also be a PC connection, which means that when i hook an HDMI into it, it will get audio if avalible from the Audio in near the PC input?

    Your graphic card must support audio output throughmode for that.

    Right click on the speaker and select "Playback devices", mine says something like "ATI HDMI Output", and I must select it as default device so it "transmits" the audio through the HDMI,

    Hi, have a look at DisplayLink Store , most if not all of the adapters there support 1080p.
    unfortunately none of them support audio as they are all VGA/DVI.
    I am currently using a Displaylink bases Samsung Monitor and it works like a charm in 1080p.

    Thank you to the DisplayLink post. I found a DVI one, and plugged it in and it worked as long as I had it set to the first HDMI to PC instead of other.
