I have a computer which has an HDMI Output, but that HDMI only supports VIDEO not AUDIO. Will this device work "both ways?" To put it another way, can the device be used to have the video and audio input then come out the input side as a combined...

Forget all the rest of these answers. This device contains a unidirectional pathway. It even has input and output printed on it, and there is a reason for that. Data is restricted to flow in only one direction. You can not even send video alone backwards through it, let alone re/combine video with sound. It will also not allow for ARC data flow since it blocks the return path. This also has a USB power input. This will not change anything. As far as I can tell, you don't even need the USB. I don't use it at all.

This system (as far as I could read) has only Audio inputs. HDMI is an audio and video cable. If you are trying to connect this to an HDTV that has an HDMI input, then chances are that it has Digital Audio output too. Simply hook this digital output to the sound system. there will be some finer tweaks you need to workout with the tv such as whether the tv volume controlls the output volume and if the TVs speakers should then be turned off. For more personallized help, most High school to college aged boys/men, and an increasing number of women, have the knowlege required to get it working at a livable level. usually a trip to a Best Buy with a list of the items you have including brand and model number can prove very helpfull too.

VGA does NOT support audio...use a separate cord from the computer audio to the tv, etc. I purchased a vga cable that has an extra plug on the end...but had to get an extension to reach the speaker on the computer.HDMI DOES support audio...if you can use that and throw away the vga.

This adapter is poorly made and will fail you quickly. To answer your question...Yes, the display port to hdmi will transfer audio as well as video. Just make sure your sound output is set to the hdmi in your system preferences

I'm not sure because my computer already had HDMI port and it work fine. By the way, this Splitter use to display to more monitors with 1 input source. I think you need to buy a HDMI switcher so you can connect your computer, your TV cable, and another source . HDMI switcher got only 1 output to 1 TV. I hope this will help.

HDMI connection carry both the video and sound. Not being familiar with the advancement of audio receivers I can not say for certain that it will not work. Depending on the connections from your components that you have their may be a way to to do it. For me, I just connected it to the tv. Hope this helps.

What do you mean by "support audio". If you transmit A/V through HDMI then yes it will but DVI & VGA are video only signals.

That's exactly what I tried (except I think you meant HDMI output, not input). It didn't work at all for this particular converter. I'm going to try a more expensive converter that looks identical and supposedly does the same thing, but I haven't ordered it yet.

All HDMI ports and cables will carry both audio and video signals. That's the convenience of HDMI. One cable does it all. Although the monitor has speakers, I wouldn't expect any quality sound from them. They're very small and have no audio range whatsoever.

HDMI cable carries both signals (Video + Audio) through one hdmi cable. By using this converter you can split the signal into video to the monitor and audio jack to be used for any speakers. if you want to connect more than one audio speakers, then you can use Y splitter for the audio cable to connect 2 set of speakers. Hope you find this answers your question?

HDMI carries both signals - it will plug into a HDMI monitor and work for both audio and video. IT may work for a TV with an HDMI input

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

It Outputs on both analog & Digital, but only accepts one input.. So you could output component & HDMI if you really wanted to, but you can not have more then one input type at a time.

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

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

HDMI carries both sound and video.Just plug everything into there respective places in the back panel.Run an HDMI cable from the "out" to your TV and set your TV to the input you have the cable run to and you are done.

That's what HDMI generally provides: audio and video in one push here, dummy cable connection. That said: Unfortunately, this device does not work, period. Returned two of them. SO: I was never able to find a working device that would take separate RGB video and successfully terminate into the HDMI port of a monitor. Still wouldn't mind finding one, but at a reasonable (as in CHEAP) price.
