Dvi to HDMI w/audio on LCD!

[FwoGiZ]

I am not too sure if this is in the right section...
I have a p5e asus mobo running a ATI HD4850 on vista64.
It used to work VERY fine, now it doesn't....
I will tell you what I used to do.
I bought a DVI to HDMI w/audio 5$ adaptor on ebay, then plugged my LCD onto my GPU with an HDMI cable.
I would have to use "Catalyst control center" (ATI GPU software thingy) then I would go in "desktop & displays"
I could only have sound at one of the other station (computer, OR LCD)
So I when I would duplicate monitors, I would only have sound on my LCD, then if I wanted to go back on the computer, I would disable the LCD.
That worked just fine and I didn't mind the minor hassle...

now for some reason, it just doesn't work anymore!!!!! I still have image, but no sound! I tried picking the "make preferred" option on the LCD with no results...
I rebooted, unplugged and replugged the cables... nothing works!
I have made NO update, no changes...... the only thing that comes to my mind is that i unplugged the home theater on the LCD but that can't be the reason since I tested it right after, and would STILL have sound on the LCD speakers... for some reason, now i can only have sound on the computer
no nice when I wanna watch a movie with my girl

any ideas?
Tx in advance

wellll I guess i didn't try everything!
I still don't understand why it ain't working anymore, but I guess my Catalyst thingy was the one changing the windows sound option -> ATI HDMI Output

I tried switchin that manually and it works...
sigh weird computer world!

for SOME reason... it got "unstuck" so the previous method I was using is now working again, but i actually prefer switchin only the sound rather than the image AND sound...
much better

for those who would be interested...
i managed to find an answer to this by looking for "dvi to hdmi sound"

How can you get sound through DVI? Didn't know that was possible. Cool. Or do you just plug in a sound cable to the adapter?

I think the ATI series 3 and up all carry sound thru DVI... all you need is their small DVI to HDMI /sound adaptor and you're good to go!!
i just got a 7.2 muteki 1700W sound system so eager to test it !!
