Does the DisplayPort outputs sound, so that a pasive adapterr to HDMI could send sound to a HD TV?

The 2 Display Ports now do output digital sound to your TV or monitor with speakers via HDMI. When you first fire up our Chromebox it needs to update. You can still surf and use normally. In the background the OS will update for sound if you have the cord for your HDMI TV. Just click on the small box with an arrow pointing up down in the right bottom corner (white rectangle black arrow). The cord is 12 bucks and hope you order at the same time as your chromebox. Should update in less than 30 minutes or less even with a slow connection like mine. The DVI over by the power plug is video only for legacy monitors. If you use a converter to HDMI the sound output will default to the internal speakers. By the way: The video on the Display Ports are 1080 rather than 720 on the chromebooks and speedy enough to run dual monitors if you choose. The cord for audio and video normally comes up when you check out on amazon and sells for 12 bucks. Unfortunately the displayport is not the same as a displayport on apple products. So be sure you get the correct one. Since you are connecting to a home HD TV, get an FAVI mini keyboard/track pad. It's plug and play and rechargeable. Only 17.95 with prime shipping. Add to your cart!

I have a GTX 670 and the hdmi works for full resolution and sound. I've read the display port gives full resolution chat i Don't know about sound

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.

I believe that the HDMI does handle audio but the other end, DVI or VGA does not.

Yes, the sound is already part of the HDMI input. It will be stripped out and used in the SPDIF output (the output HDMI will still include the sound). Please note that SPDIF outputs sound only for "A" input set

Hello, i'm not an sound expert, and i've never heard how an hdmi converter sounded like. I bought this because my television has a toslink sound output and i needed a converter for a very good Phillips speakers, with a 3,5 jack input. I recommend you read carefully the Product Descriptions of both products. Sorry i couldn't give you a better answer... Have a good year! Diogo Gomes

No, it has a mini display port out. It comes with a mini-DP to VGA adapter dongle and there are many cheap mini-DP to HDMI adapter dongles on the market. I paid $5 for mine and it works great. Even with the adapter it will carry both the video and audio signal to your TV. Here's the ebay link to the one I bought:http://www.ebay.com/itm/380390581837?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

no, the hdmi input on your pc is an output. you would need to buy another device.

I'm actually not sure which is which with the display ports but I have a macbook pro and it works. I've actually found that to get the sound to work, you'd have to change the settings on your computer for the sound to come through the adaptor (to the tv) rather than the speakers on your computer. Hope this helps.

Just adding to my previous comment, there will be no audio onto your monitor regardless it works or not. HDMI to DVI will only transfer video.

This is cut from the Benq website ... Daniel T is mistaken about DisplayPort:D-sub / DVI / HDMI / Headphone jack (D-sub = VGA d connector, not DisplayPort)

Yes but I suggest using the Audio out to Computer Speakers or A sound sound system. Also Just incase you didn't know if you are using HDMI no worries Video and HDMI are in the same cable so just go from audio out and your set.

The DVI to HDMI conversion doesn't transfer sound. Other option would be to connect speakers for sound as the ones on monitor are not loud at all.

Basically it will allowed you to connect it to any monitor with HDMi and with included adapter DVI / VGA. Only thing I am not sure about is sound. By the way, you are not limited to just one. I have one of these plus a docking station

No. HDMI carries audio but dvi doesn't, so you need a separate cable for that.

DVI doesn't send sound like HDMI. Have to have external speakers hooked directly up to the source. Had the same exact issue, unfortunately had to get a cheap pair of external speakers.
