HDMI Graphics card with audio

[tobias]

Morning All,

 

I am after a HDMI PCI-E graphics card which not only has the HDMI out but also supports audio as well as it is being connected directly into a display TV. Have googled without great success so wondered if anyone knew any off hand. Cant be too expensive (no more than £50-£60)

 

Many thanks

Does the TV not have any sound?

Of course, maybe i didnt make it clear;). I need to get the sound from the computer via HDMI to the TV

Any modern AMD or Nvidia card with onboard HDMI will have audio capability - I think it was on the ATI 3*** series and some Nvidia 2** series onwards.

I have a passivley cooled Radeon 4650 in my home media PC. They have the Realtek HD audio built in and does a fantastic job

You don't have to spend a fortune on them, but try and get a passive cooled version to keep the noise down.

The nice thing is that this card is several years old now but still delivers the goods for home entertainment and 'some' gaming.

Looks like any card supporting hdmi 1.3 would be a good bet.

I believe the sapphire hd5450 (£30) does what you want there are several different version with different port choices.

pretty much all (citation needed) hdmi compatible cards support audio (by reality to use the hdmi name they probably need to do all of it) you just need to check that you have linked the card up to the spdif port on the mobo. spdif is the main source of digital audio for hdmi.

some nvidia dvi output cards will also support full hdmi given the correct cable used(needs to be dvi-d - hdmi as pin specification are practically the same)
