Audio via HDMI? Is only one HDMI port able to accept and pass thru audio?

I have the same problem 5.1 only seems to pass thru HDMI 1. I have to connect my bluRay player directly to Amp to get 5.1

DVI cables only carry a video signal, the HDMI can carry audio but when its converted to Dvi it loses that capabiltity

I just bought this monitor and wanted audio too. What do I have to do to get audio?

There is no separate audio out. Standard HDMI signals/cables carry both audio and video.

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.

I have one of my hdmi outputs going to the receiver, then the receiver's output going to the TV. The audio passes along the hdmi.

Your HDMI cable may be older and not support audio. Try switching cables. Try switching output from the splitter.

No HDMI also carries audio. You could invest in an optical for higher quality audio but that may by overkill for most.

That's dependent on your computer's graphics card. Most new computers have motherboards that support this feature out of the box otherwise you might have to get an after market graphics card to be able to get both audio and video through an hdmi

PamRosa,We haven't tested that, so it's difficult to give a definitive answer. You can try by using an RCA cable to your receiver from the "audio out" port while it's connected. If not, however, we can't offer support on how to make that happen. HDMI usually carries both the audio and video through the same cable, and the design may not offer an option.--Mr. S

You can't generally transmit audio through DVI. I think DVI-2 can can transmit a higher resolution. Read more here: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/32524/whats-the-difference-between-hdmi-and-dvi-which-is-better/

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.

HDMI sends sound to monitor and mine has internal speakers, so it works that way. USB speakers work fine, if you don't have that kind of monitor

This can be confusing, but I have tested this extensively. Yes, the HDMI audio will play out through the 3.5mm audio out port on the back to drive a pair of speakers or headphones. If you are on "HDMI 1" then the audio will play from that source. If you switch to "HDMI 2" then the audio will switch to that source. If you switch to D-SUB VGA then you need to have a 3.5mm cable running from your computer audio output/sound card to the 3.5mm input on the monitor. You can only get 1 source at a time and that source has to be the active screen on the monitor. In other words you cannot be looking at "HDMI 1" and getting audio from anything other than "HDMI 1." Also keep in mind that if you want to use the D-SUB audio setup then you "might" need to go into your audio settings in your operating system and make it the default or enable it. "HDMI 1" then

Why do you connect audio separately? HDMI should be sufficient to give you both video and audio if you hook it up through a common receiver. At least it works in my case. Try that. Bob.

Sorry but my english is very bad, whatever, I'll try to help you, what kind of cable are you use to output the audio? HDMI, Optical?

yeah but its just a monitor so there will be no sound coming from it. you have to use an external source for the sound. oh for the hdmi you can just buy a $5 adapter from walmart or some other place. disregard my last comment!
