[mythtv-users] from PC to TV: HDMI-DVI Adapter, what about the sound?

[Richard Brook]

DVI is digital video only. I use my 50" Sony HDTV as a monitor. I connect
the PC to the TV using a DVI to HDMI cable. My NVIDIA 9800gtx video card
only has DVI output. I connect my sound card to a 5.1 Surround Sound audio
system.
