Does audio pass through the mini display ports?

Yes, and audio controls are in the driver. It will pass audio using HDMI adapters as well, this is how I have my system configured.

I don't know what you're asking but Display port & HDMI can carry sound. DVI can not

I use it to connect monitor from my laptop. My monitor has no audio so I couldn't say about audio.

I have the same issue with my onboard HDMI, it only passes 2 ch sound through the cable, hd sound requires an optic cable. According to toms hardware 5770 (and for that matter I believe all 5xxx) cards pass both HD audio and video. I double checked also on a forum and this was confermed.

Hi! Yes. On the back there's a port that is labeled "Optical Digital Audio Output". Hope this helps!

Yes, I have ours fed into two Sharp 70" led panels and the HDMI audio feed works through both panels with no issues at all. The room has its own audio so we don't run the sound on the panels, but the option is there and works. Did you get all the way into the sound settings on your mini? I'm not a Mac whiz, so I don't know exactly which steps you take, but there was more than one until we saw the HDMI choice. Actually the Mac is a dual boot to win7pro and it works on that operating system too. I can't stress how happy I was when I got my hands on the accell adapters, passive adapters just plain screwed me around in circles!

Nope all versions come with mini display port. I have the 256GB version and I had to buy a mini display port to hdmi converter.

Not with my case. My front audio ports are USB ports. Ports for the sound card are available at the rear of my case (CoolerMaster) and that's where I connect my speakers. With this sound card one can also switch back and forth from speakers to headphones.

We ran WOW on the computer and the sound in fact came out of the monitor so it seems to support two channel embedded sound at least. I have no way of testing it beyond that.

Yes. It takes headphone jack, 1/8", as commonly found on headphones, audio ports on laptops, and audio ports on MP3 players, CD players... its' the same kind of port. In short, yes, you can hook up external audio to the monitor.

Yes. Mini jack input and output, and USB input. Move your cursor over the picture on the Amazon product page and you will see the front panel details.

Probably not your new computer. Mini audio jacks are all the same so probably not connections unless you pulled a wire loose when de-installing and re-installing.

Unfortunately not. You only hear audio from the room that is showing on the monitor display screen. I have this issue sometimes too. Hopefully Summer will eventually make a "split screen" monitoring system.

Some early implementations of DisplayPort on laptops did not support audio (generally pre-2010 systems.) Assuming it is not just a setting problem about which audio adapter is used, then you are probably out of luck.

No, just for the USB and HDMI ports; However, the sound is still pretty good.

Yeah there are ports for everything. If you're just playing music privately there should be an integrated sound card on your motherboard, so just check if there's already some ports on the back of the PC before ordering :P

did this the other day. yes, i used a mini-dvi to hdmi... note that sound does go through a dvi, so you'll need a separate cable for the sound... either a mini tos to tos or standard 3.5m to audio depending on your lcd. i liked monoprice for cables. keep in mind that in settings you can either choose for it to be an extended screen or a mirror.
