Most video cards with DVI jacks also come with -- one -- DVI to HDMI adapter. So far as I can tell the only difference between the two is that HDMI has audio, and DVI does not.
These adapters I'm sure convert the jack type for the sake of video, but what about audio? If they do audio too then how is it that a DVI plug outputs audio?
If will I have two monitors with speakers and HDMI input, how will the audio get to them?
More specifically, my PC has onboard audio and video to run one monitor and one set of speakers. Onto it I will be inserting a video card in order to drive two monitors (with speakers and ATSC tuners). I'd like to think that the new video card will have two video channels and two audio channels, or at least one audio channel that's split between the two.
Perhaps it's best to use the onboard audio, split it and route it to the two monitors? Are two separate audio channels even possible, or should I ignore the monitor speakers -- for normal PC use -- and use external speakers? I don't know.
How can audio get to two monitors? Thanks for your help.
