I am setting up a HTPC and I have two led tvs in two separate rooms and I want them both to have multiple displays from the HD7870 with audio.
I read that the AMD HD7870 has audio out of the 1.2 display port but I can not find anywhere if my vcard has a 1.2 or 1.1 display port.

I have two 3D site by side and the one with HDMI has audio and the other connected with the display port does not. I am using a generic Display port cable from PC to hdmi in tv.

Do you think it could be the cable?

On Windows 8 Pro.

my card.

Sapphire (11199-19-20G) Radeon HD 7870 OC 2GB GDDR5 | 1050 MHz Clock, 4800 MHz Memory | PCI-Express 3.0, Dual-Link DVI-I, Single-Link DVI-D, DisplayPort, HDMI

"Enjoy the benefits of the latest generation display interface, DisplayPort. With the ultra high HD resolution, the graphics card ensures that you are able to support the latest generation of LCD monitors."

It must be the cable then; I will try and test out another dport cable to HDMI cable.
When through all the settings in Windows8, enabling and disabling drivers to see if I can get some kind of audio out of the dport.
