Does anyone know of a motherboard, PC, or graphics card that will output SOUND through an HDMI connector?

I am looking to build/buy an entertainment PC that will be connected to my HD TV. I am trying to find a motherboard/graphics card/PC that will output both the video AND the sound through an HDMI cable to the TV.

My TV does have an analogue VGA and 3.5mm audio jack input for a PC, but I would rather directly connect the digital video and audio streams through the HDMI.

Surely there must be something that does this? I read about an old PowerColor graphics card that you connected the output from your sound card to, this then outputted both audio and video streams to HDMI. Unfortunately these cards appear to be no longer available.

An Ideal solution would be a motherboard that outputted both streams directly through the HDMI. Does such a beast exist?



Please Help.



Pez|||yep!



go to newegg.com

type "HDMI" in the search box at the top of the screen.



after you get all the results, look at the left side, under advance search, select either "AMD motherboards" or "Intel motherboards" and search depending on which you want?



i dont know which are good and which are bad. luckly they are all microatx!



other option: there are DVI->HDMI converters out there for cheap. although that wont convert sound...

VIDEO



not audio.



if you want high def sound, find a sound card (possibly included on the mobo) that supports optical out or digital coaxial



SCART is the only universial connection, and pc's don't have them unless there's some funky adapter|||This graphics card has three ouput slots, DVI, VGA and HDMI:
