And if you use a DVI to HDMI adapter you should have video and sound on one cable! [:mousemonkey:3]

oh so i was right LMAO alright thank u for clarifying it up mouse i new it was for something with sound just wasn't 100% sure.

I've not tried it myself but it was the only way that the 8 and 9 series cards could do audio over HDMI IIRC, as ATi beat them to the punch by putting the audio decoder chip on the card with the 2xxx series and Nvidia have only just got there with the 40nm cards that have the same.
