[eldinv]

Hello I just got a new TV. TV has two HDMI cables. I want to connec it to my PC to watch videos.

Can I get a DVI to HDMI cable like so:

Will this output both video and sound. My GPU has VGA, Svideo and DVI outputs.

I got a cable like that with my 28" monitor & it does video only, NO sound

Although I got a nice speaker system, I would rather play the sound through the TV.

Or will it make more sense to play audio from PC speakers.

Other question since card has Svideo out and TV has Svideo input will the picture be just as clear or better to get one of those adapters.

you can use the dvi to hdmi cable but you also need a mini jack sound cable . you can pick one up almost any where for about ($6.00) .it has the small plug the go's to your pc and it comes out to (rca) plugs that go to your tv. another thing you can do is get a hdmi video card i have the ( ATI Radeon HD 5750) and just plug the hdmi off my video card to the tv and it works fine with audio and video.

So if my GPU had HDMI out, where is it getting audio from?

on the back of your pc there's 6 colored plugins . plug the mini cable to the black plugin and the other end of the cable are rca jacks you should be able to plug then into the back of your tv and your done. i used this setup before i got my new card and it worked fine (but the video quality was not as good as just hdmi).

The audio is comming back from the playback option once you switch monitors resolution also when you go to HDMI the tv must be on at all time any turning tv off will break the signal as far as the 5750 go even the lighter 5670 has this feature also doesnt need xtra power to run

it is much easier to have a card that does all the funtions in one remember for the sound to work right click volume go to play back options set it to hdmi via card after the tv is on and recieved a signal then from there you Will be GOLDEN !

BUT .............if you are going old school SV video will work as well but won't look as good

I am in the market for a whole new PC anyhow.

Heres what I'm looking at: BIOSTAR TA870+ AM3 AMD 870 SATA 6Gb/s ATX AMD Motherboard

AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Deneb 3.4GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor HDZ965FBGMBOX

OCZ Reaper Edition 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model OCZ3RPR1333C9LV8GK

XFX HD-577A-ZNFC Radeon HD 5770 (Juniper XT) 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video

The GPU has HDMI out, but will it carry the audio from my board or does it need a separate connection?

if i were you just skip the 965 be there is a 970 blk ed 3.5 im buying it on friday

audio wise 2 connections one to your board and the other hdmi to tv and card when you switch signals to hdmi that is when you can enable the sound from the card when not useing hdmi just use the onboard or a installed sound card of choice

Just a tip:
This is for ATI graphics i dont know if is the same with nvidia and other brands.
For video AND audio you must use the original graphic card adaptor (dvi-hdmi)
If you have 2 original adaptors connected in 2 t.v. you DONT have any sound.
Use the original adaptor for the t.v. you want sound and for the second t.v. NOT original adaptor.
