HDMI / DVI cable, is it same as DVI / HDMI adapter with HDMI cable?

I heard you can use sound over hdmi if you use the correct style of DVI port and use an adapter that allows hdmi to hook up, is this true?

and if so can you do the same with a dvi / hdmi cable?

as far as i know, the dvi port on the video cards does NOT transmit sound. only hdmi does that.

so dvi-d with an adapter or cable cant carry sound to an hdmi device? ( monitor)

nope. dvi means digital video interface.

you can use a jack to rca or jack to jack cable (depending on what inputs you have on the back of the tv) from the pc to the tv and it will work just fine.

Depending on the gpu, the dvi port may transmit a hdmi signal so when you use an adapter/cable you still get sound.
