[mythtvnz] Quick HDMI question....

Hi All,

After all the hardware recommendations you provided me with I went 
ahead and bought all the components on Saturday and assembled my box 
(it's very quiet!). It's yet to have an OS due to me being busy 
yesterday - that will be tonight's job.

There were two things which I missed when buying my components. The 
first is that I didn't realise that IDE has completely gone the way of 
the Dodo in favour of SATA. This means another trip to pbtech tonight to 
pick up a SATA DVD drive (rather than using the IDE one I already had 
spare).

The second thing is HDMI. I have a HDMI output on the graphics card I 
bought (an EVGA Nvidia 210 [0]) and the respective input on my TV. My 
question is whether a direct HDMI connection between the graphics card 
and the TV will give me audio over HDMI, or do I need a special cable? 
If this will work with just a standard cable, is there any configuration 
magic required to direct the audio to the graphics card?

Thanks in advance,

Cheers,

Rob
