No need to shout pal.

Your gfx card has an audio pass through chip on it to enable HDMI signals to be passed through to a receiver.

if you have a hdtv with a hdmi input as a screen then yes.

HDMI is just a connection standard based on dvi that allows multi channel sound to be simultaneously transmitted with the images, used in turn with HDCP it can allow encrypted data to be safely transmitted, however it should be noted that dvi is also perfectly capable with an adapter.

Oh and using caps is how you shout in text.

This is a relativily complicated issue that i do not have the knowledge to explain and should be searched for rather than asked.

HDMI is essentally a digital signal, just like DVI. The only diffrences is the connection is smaller, and that HDMI also carries audio, and not just video.
