If i use a dvi to hdmi adapter, will sound pass trough to my montior?

[Tudor Adrian]

My graphics card has only one HDMI port, which is connected to my tv. I want to buy a new monitor that has built in speakers and i would like to use them, and i want to use the DVI port on my graphics card, but i don't know if a DVI to HDMI adapter let audio pass trough.

No it wont, DVI cannot carry sound. I would also strongly suggest avoiding built in speakers, they almost always sound worse then even cheap desktop speakers.

Yes it will, if you are connecting DVI source to HDMI display.
