I have no reason to think you can, and I am probably wrong. the digital audio will only be one wire plus the earth which is obvious i have no idea which one but i dont see why you couldnt do this if you knew which wire

If I get an ATI2400 Pro which has a HDMI output on it would I be correct in thinking that all I would need is a normal HDMI to HDMI cable and I would get both sound and video on the tele?

An ordinary DVI-HDMI cable or a non-ATI adapter will not work (well, it won't send the sound, only the video)...you gotta use the ATI adapter.I am using the adapter that came with the card, and do NOT have sound at the TV. Again, it could be a setting in Windows to direct sound to the ATI output rather than my sound card...

Connect that to the SPDIF out of your soundcard/motherboard.

I'm using the optical out on my integrated soundcard. It's run to my receiver via a Toslink cable. But I see what you mean, I figured there was something required for using the HDMI. I may give that a shot and report back

I am thinking of getting this card
ASUS 2400PRO 256MB DDR2 DVI VGA HDCP HDTV out Silent PCI-E Graphics Card http://www.ebuyer.com/product/132321 Its fanless and according to silent PC review only uses 7.5W more than an IGP http://www.silentpcreview.com/forums/vie...hp?t=44420 The bit that I am getting lost on however is the sound output. It does not come with an DVI to HDMI adapter dongle. If I use a dvi to hdmi cable instead will I then get sound and video out of my LCD tele?

Apparently not. You need a special ATI adapter a standard DVI to HDMI cable does not work. Can anyone recommend a fanless 2400pro that ships with the adapter?

I wonder what the ATI adapter does that's so special... Searching for 'hdmi pinout' yields the above & a lot more that I don't have time to peruse right now...

Does your card have a fan? Could you give me the link or model number of the card that you brought.
