The VG2439M does handle audio passthrough over DisplayPort....BUT the monitor does not have built in speakers. So if you have speakers that you would keep plugged into the back of the monitor, then yes, you only have the one cable driving both audio and video.

Secondary audio settings will only effect the audio over HDMI. It should be turned off so audio bandwidth can be freed up for the lossless audio codecs. With standard DD and DTS over optical it should not have any effect.

Ofcourse!! HDMI send Video and audio at same cable...! dont worry about it, and if you want send audio by the speaker output you can to, you only need configure your OS, but by default the HDMI send audio and video...!! I hope my answer can help you...

that was my experience; somewhere in the literature in fact says that if you use HDMI or Digital Optical cable, that you have to use the audio cable out as well (defeats the purpose of the HDMI or Digital Optical cable IMO), however it works well with that set-up

HDMI carries sound, audio cable not being switched. You need your audio to come from HDMI input.

I have mine connected with the supplied cables to a small HD TV in the kitchen. I think the audio is connected using the smaller RCA type cable in the audio jack. I'm not in front of it now but the directions will show you. You can't mess anything up. It's simple.

PamRosa,We haven't tested that, so it's difficult to give a definitive answer. You can try by using an RCA cable to your receiver from the "audio out" port while it's connected. If not, however, we can't offer support on how to make that happen. HDMI usually carries both the audio and video through the same cable, and the design may not offer an option.--Mr. S

Why do you connect audio separately? HDMI should be sufficient to give you both video and audio if you hook it up through a common receiver. At least it works in my case. Try that. Bob.

Sound comes through any HDMI cable. You don't need a separate cable for audio.The answer is yes.

yes, hdmi cables pass video signals as well as audio signals, on the control panel on your pc make sure the audio is set to HDMI.

I have it connected to my receiver, and thence to my speakers. I can't say authoritatively, but it seems to me to send music to the receiver as well as an HDMI cable. But let me emphasize that if you walk in front of or obstruct the direct line of sight in any way, the sound will stutter and skip, whether it's music or TV/movie.

No additional audio connectors are required with the current HDMI cable. The only audio wires are those from the back of the unit to the speakers...and they are the type you strip the wires of insulation and then push into the connectors (like the old style).

Will it be able to output audio over HDMI and the composite? I need to hook up the HDMI directly to the TV and the composite to the receiver.

Yes it does have an HDMI pass through but I only use it for video not audio so I don't know if the audio passes through.
