Hello

I need to convert the dvi and 3.5mm audio from a MacBook into a single HDMI (to carry video & audio in one). I found some adapters that are more like switches and cost $100 - $300. Has anyone seen a single cable with HDMI on one end and DVI & 3.5 mm audio on the other end? Does anyone know of a cheaper solution?

Hmm...this is an odd one...

The main issue is that 3.5mm = analog, and DVI = Digital, so I doubt many converters exist that take in both at the same time. Best be is probably a reciever, where you do:

3.5mm -> Reciever (audio)
DVI -> HDMI -> Reciever (video)
Reciever -> HDMI -> Output Device (combined A/V stream?)

My boss wants to hook his MacBook up to a TV at his house for meetings. I assumed the easiest thing would be a 50' HDMI cable that from the TV to some converter box where he could plug in DVI and 3.5mm audio from the MacBook.

Does anyone know of an affordable converter? Are there any glaring problems with this setup?
