will this cable work to carry audio from a PC to a 7.1 receiver? If not then what cable do I need? I want to connect an HP desktop PC with 2 DVI ports to a Yamaha HTR-7065 7.1 home theater receiver with HDMI connections

This doesnt include sound so what i did is bought an av audio cable plugged the the audio jack to my pc, the red and white on the back of the tv, but in your case you should plug them in your home theater.

I have not used it on any pc, It uses a single audio cable to connect to the subwoofer input of a receiver. I do not think it will work directly to a pc, unless u have it running through a home theater system.

If all you need to do it put audio through your receiver, this device will work for you. My receiver doesn't have HDMI either, so I just feed the audio using TOSLINK to it and the HDMI out to my TV. Works fine.

This cable can work in both directions, HDMI out to DVI/audio in and vice versa. It will work in your case

i have plasma "optical out" and i have my receiver with 'RCA input only" with 5.1 Speaker out, do this adapter work to have 5.1 surround sound. My receiver is only RCA Input, and i want 5.1 out, NOT Stereo?.

If the adapter is DVI-I (integrated) it will pass audio. This DVI-D (digital) does not.

Your situation is exactly what I had, so yes, this cable will work. Also, if your video card supports audio, it will carry that signal as well to the TV. If your video card does not carry an audio signal, you may need to get a separate speaker system to hear from your computer, because your TV will be on the "HDMI input", but your audio may only fit to the "PC-input" on your computer.

The only thing limiting your audio is your receiver. The newer Denons and Onkyos have HDMI ins and outs which should take care of the issue, not to mention enough room for a 7.1 rig. Best of luck.IRSSLEX

Dear Nathan, Thank you for your question regarding our HDMI to DVI adapter cable. The cable is only capable of carrying a video signal and an additional cable would be needed for audio. Please contact us at service@bluerigger.com if you have any additional questions.Thanks, BlueRigger LLCservice@bluerigger.com

I used a 33 ft. VGA/ Audio cable with RGB cable inside it from my HP windows 7 Tower to my 50" Big screen TV using a powered VGA Splitter ( needed because of the length of the cable), One end going to my monitor the other to the TV. This is how a used mine and the HD is perfect. Hope this helps.

Problem I had with this is I was going from my DVI port on the Mac to HDMI using an adapter cable, but the DVI port doesn't carry audio, only video. My work around was then wiring an audio cable from the headphone jack of the computer to my surround system. (In my case I used a 3.5mm to RCA cable). Gets messy with extra wires but it does the trick for now.

Dear Rafa, Thank you for your question regarding our HDMI cable. The cable will work and deliver Audio out of your TV speakers from your desktop computer as long as your sound card on your computer is capable of doing so. Please contact us at service@bluerigger.com if you have any additional questions. Thanks, BlueRigger LLCservice@bluerigger.com

Short answer ... no. It merely strips what you would normally hear on the Left and Right audio channels and passes the signal through analog RCA cables. But to be fair, I'm not sure than anything really can. By definition, 5.1 and 7.1 are delivered over something greater than two channels. So a simple two-channel L/R signal simply isn't capable of carrying the content. There are devices that take two-channel audio as input and simulate 5.1 output, but this isn't one of them. I have such a whizbang gizmo connected to a 47" display in a small room with just two very good speakers. It's not "real" 5.1, and if you're a real audiophile type, you'll likely recognize it right away and turn up your nose. However, it does work well enough to fool you during an exceptionally well mastered Blu-Ray or a high-end video game. Suited my needs because 2 speakers were a better fit for both the room and my budget. But if you're looking to get full performance out of a 5.1 or 7.1 setup that you already own or are considering purchasing, inserting this device in the chain is probably the wrong way to go about things. You'll need to stick with HDMI throughout to create the best experience.

you sure you don't have the cable in the audio pc/hmdi input (this connection is in "input 5" box, just above and to the right of the digital audio output; i believe this is the same connection type...) judging by the lack of picture instead of audio, that is my best guess anyway. someone correct me if i'm wrong (my tv is hanging and i cannot really see the connections), but i do not believe this device has a standard audio output (besides the headphone out)...

You need some sort of audio device in your system whether it be a built-in or an expansion card. If you computer has 6 audio ports you should be good. I've never had any issue hooking up 5.1 speakers to any computer. Also, consider some Logitech speakers, these actually aren't that great.

I don't believe the DVI port on the computer graphics card is setup to deliver audio. The possible option would be to get a graphics card that does have a built in HDMI port and the ability to deliver audio. I have a MOBO with an onboard HDMI port and could never get audio pass through. Probably best to use the optical port and the same setup you have now. Hope this helps.
