Audio thru HDMI? Would like to know if this card carries audio through the HDMI. AMD says the ability is in the card but it depends on whether the company producing it - Sapphire here - turns it on.

It is strange that I only get audio if I set the refresh rate to 30Hz (at 1920x1080). If I change it to 60Hz, I get no sound. This is a connection from HDMI on the graphic card to HDMI of Samsung HDTV 40"...

Mine does output audio just fine over HDMI. Conveniently, when I use the Catalyst Control Center shortcut to switch to that output, it also switches my primary audio device from my main sound card to the HDMI audio device.I haven't tested the 30Hz vs 60Hz issue mentioned by Voodoo1226, but that could very well be a function of his/her tv/monitor rather the the graphics card's output.

No the motherboard itself does not you would have to buy a video card with a HDMI output. It does have a digital out for audio though.

Yes, you can set hdmi to be the primary audio out regardless of how many other audio components you have. I've used this card and others on servers, desktops, and other odd computers and hdmi audio works great on all of them.

Audio is definitely supported. It uses the HDMI cable connection to a TV or monitor with speakers. If your monitor has no speakers, then external speakers and a separate audio card are required to get audio.

The card does support sound via the hdmi cable. I had to open my playback devices and set the default to 50 PCT3D-OE-3 NVIDIA HIGH DEFINITION AUDIO DEFAULT DEVICE

Let me answer this way. With the default settings on the card, it is whisper quiet. My whole machine is very quiet, and so is this card. I can't hear it in my living room. Of course in a graphics intensive game the fan will turn up higher, but honestly even then I haven't noticed it, and I'm pretty easily annoyed by that kind of thing.

It's PCI, not PCI-e. It makes a big difference if you only have PCI-e slots, but I do not believe it matters for performance. I use it in a demanding application and it works very well. Also, if you go to the HT Omega website, I believe they sell a PCI-e audio card: http://www.htomega.com/eclaro.html

I connected this card in my HTPC directly to my HDMI receiver for playing Netflix and some light gaming. This card sounds as good as it looks. Surround sound is good as well. make sure to install the new NVIDIA driver experience software to ensure the HD audio drivers load correctly. There are a lot of garbage cables out there so make sure you are using a cable that has HDMI 1.3, 1.4, or 1.4a with high speed ethernet markings on it to ensure the surround sound works correctly. Good luck

NO, as I and a number of others have said in their reviews.This card uses the VIA chip set, not the Texas Instruments chip set. So, if you're getting a card to do audio recording--like I was--you're one of the people who should stay away from this card.

Check your graphics card. I have a Radeon that transfers sound through the dvi to HDMI adapter.

Hi N Budish: I too have a 360 and my setup is all thru receiver (optical audio). I believe the difference between full and pass thru hdmi-capability is so minimal that the difference in price range is not worth it. I have the audio to vol 30's to 35's and sounds great. Hope that helps!

What do you mean by "support audio". If you transmit A/V through HDMI then yes it will but DVI & VGA are video only signals.

That's dependent on your computer's graphics card. Most new computers have motherboards that support this feature out of the box otherwise you might have to get an after market graphics card to be able to get both audio and video through an hdmi

Yes. Set HDMI Control->On and Standby Through->On or Auto. It will then pass through both video and audio while in Standby mode. I have my RX-V577 unit set up this way. This is covered on page 83 of the owner's manual.

Yes, there is at least one HDMI output on the graphics card. Really this little guy is a multimedia fiend. The on board SPDIF is great. I have since moved on to a different graphics card, but the original ATI card had at least one HDMI output.

The HDMI mini port transfers the same signal as normal HDMI ... HOWEVER, the HDMI port on a video card does not output sound unless it has a pass through audio connection to receive the audio signal from the sound device. I do not think that this model has one.

Sound card, yes; video card, no. But I use only the built-in sound card (I didn't buy a separate one).
