Does Dual Link DVI-D sustain audio?

[eletrickapple01]

I use an HDMI for my monitor but now I just bought a new asus VG248QE monitor with 144hz. To have 144hz you must connect the Dual Link DVI cable from the PC to the monitor. The thing is that I have my speakers connected directly to my monitor through the built in audio-out to be able to play xbox as well and for some reason I cannot hear through them no longer. Is there a way to get audio while I still play at 144hz?

DVI does not pass audio.

Audio out on your motherboard to either the monitor and then to the speakers, or directly to the speakers.

To get audio from a DVI port on a GPU. You MUST have a DVI to HDMI adapter.

If you do DVI-DVI cable to to the monitor, it will not carry audio.

Note that you must have a nvidia/amd gpu.

DVI has been doing audio (if you have a DVI-HDMI adapter) since the GTX 200s series and AMD 3000 series.

so if I have a DVI to HDMI adapter willl I still have the same capabilities of a DVI at 144hz?

nope. HDMI does not support 144 hz. only way you'll get the 144 hz is with a Dual link DVI cable plugged into that monitor.

so... there is no way to get audio to from the PC to that monitor and out to the speakers.......

I would suggest rigging up (through splitters and etc) from the speakers to the PC. It'll depend on your set-up though...

No this is a non-standard implementation which misuses the DVI pins. The audio gets integrated into the HDMI cable only when using special GPU compatible DVI to HDMI converters.

DVI does not support audio.
