So after searching google and multiple forums for this answer for numerous hours I am left in confusion still...... I am building a new Desktop PC that I will be connecting to my 50" Samsung plasma display and need the audio to go to my TV from my Desktop.... I was under the impression at first that I would need a true native HDMI output on the video card that I bought to do this but then I read something that said if you use the DVI-> HDMI dongle/splitter to from a video card that uses the adapter you only get the video because the audio won't transfer through? Ok so then I read as long as the video card supports HDCP it will transfer the audio through the DVI->HDMI splitter to the TV.... Ok so what is the truth to all of this? If the adapter does truly send audio to the TV what would be the benefit of having a native HDMI port on my video card? seeing as they generally from what I saw cost a bit more. Is the only advantage that I don't have to use the extra adapter(cosmetic apperance? lol) that comes with the video cards anyway and I wouldn't even have to pay extra for?
