My understanding is that the audio is inserted into the same data stream as<br>
the video so the cable/ adapter cannot make any difference.<br>

I'm aware of that, but it was my understanding that DVI ports wouldn<br>
not transmit audio. So I took a quick look at wikipedia and:<br>
<br>
"Unlike HDMI, DVI usually carries no audio data. However, it is<br>
possible for a DVI port to transmit audio data to a HDMI connection if<br>
a DVI to HDMI cable is used"<br>
<br>
So I stand corrected. I wonder when that sort of thing became possible.<br>

Sound is carried within the TMDS signal. So video and sound are using the same travel path.<br>
So being able to use a DVI cable in place of a hdmi cable has always being possible. As often DVI cable are cheaper and better build than many hdmi cables, it actually make sense to use a DVI cable instead.<br>
<br>
Funny that you never heard of people arguing wether a DVI cable could carry a 1920*1200 signal, yet many question if the quality of a hdmi cable is enough for a 1920*1080i<br>
<br>
Most new ATI video card only have a DVI output but do sound as well.<br><font color="#888888">

</div></div></blockquote></div>When you get a cable, if it is long, get a fat cable. The larger the conductors, the less loss and the better job it will do on higher speed signals. I have a 10 meter cable that works just fine to my projector and it is a very large diameter cable (1/2 inch).<div>
