electrically equivalent and the plugs don't care what is in the<br>
digital signal they carry.<br>
<br></blockquote></div></div>No it isn't. HDMI = DVI-D for video + SPDIF for audio + a few other things for control and content protection. DVI will not carry audio, it's a video interface.<br><br><a href="http://www.trademe.co.nz/Electronics-photography/TVs/Cables-aerials/auction-274805228.htm" target="_blank">http://www.trademe.co.nz/Electronics-photography/TVs/Cables-aerials/auction-274805228.htm</a> as somebody linked to looks like the way to go for this<br>

<br>That said, by the looks of it this is a case of a particular design sending HDMI data from a DVI port, rather than "DVI can carry audio". The exception rather than the rule.<br>
