Does this monitor support audio over DVI? It is an older monitor, probably made before that was a supported function on video cards.

As far as I'm concerned it does not. It does come with the standard jack to connect it to the computer and produce sound through the built-in speakers on the monitor. Honestly, you're better off connecting a good sound system right to your computer. It's what I did. Hope this helps. PS, it does come with a DVI connector but those are outdated nowadays.

I would assume so i used it from my laptop hdmi port to a old DVI only monitor fuctions great. But like everyone else has said DVI does not transfer sound.

I don't think so. I think the over clocking only works on the single input dvi monitors.

Nope they all will have the same quality it just will depend on your preference. HDMI and DIsplay port can run audio through them. I found I could overlock higher with the DVI cord but I stopped OC'in my monitor in favor of DSR.Edit: it comes with one of each cord and it is Dual-link DVI (just more bandwidth than a standard DVI) so a normal DVI might not work if you happen to lose the one it comes with

Is there a DVI to HDMI cable that has an internal audio jack wire built in? Trying to go from PC video card to TV, 25ft. away. Or do I have to purchase an audio card and run a separate 25ft audio cable?

DVI doesn't send sound like HDMI. Have to have external speakers hooked directly up to the source. Had the same exact issue, unfortunately had to get a cheap pair of external speakers.

Mine does output audio just fine over HDMI. Conveniently, when I use the Catalyst Control Center shortcut to switch to that output, it also switches my primary audio device from my main sound card to the HDMI audio device.I haven't tested the 30Hz vs 60Hz issue mentioned by Voodoo1226, but that could very well be a function of his/her tv/monitor rather the the graphics card's output.

As others have mentioned this particular model "G276HL Dbd" has only VGA and DVI and there are no on board speakers or an HDMI. I use this as my main computer monitor and for watching an occasional TV show or movie on the internet. They do make HDMI to DVI adapters however as HDMI is backwards compatible with high end DVI devices. I've coupled this set up with a pair of Logitech speakers X-140 2.0 and I love the monitor and sound especially in this price range. Perhaps you're looking for something a lot higher end, but for the cost this is a very impressive set up, but without the bells and whistles that will be found on (Usually) if not considerably higher priced units.

I read somewhere that, it supports a resolution of 2560x1600. so it should support dual monitors if the total resolutions falls under this. I'm using nVidia GPU, so I never tried the onboard hdmi or DVI.

It should. Apparently the cable i got was defective so returned it and used a HDMI to DVI instead. My display port was on the monitor side. It also had a DVI port. I did not need audio.

I haven't tried it, but I assume it would display video just fine. However, there isn't a speaker on the monitor, so you wouldn't get audio through it.

There is an adaptor from the old DVI to HDMI. They have been around for awhile. I believe that since HDMI carries both audio and HD video the same will be so through the DVI / HDMI adaptor.

No... dvi will pick up only video... we have to separately connect another cable separately for audio... May be stereo and rca..

The monitor was a gift to my son, so I forwarded your question to him. Here is his response: "Display port and HDMI do the same thing except display port can display the maximum resolution of the monitor and HDMI can not, it is limited to HD resolution. Both of them can transmit sound. Dual DVI (DVI-D) can display the maximum resolution of the monitor but does not transmit sound."

No. DVI carries NO audio, therefore three is no audio to be passed through to the HDMI output. You will need to provide audio to your device by separate cable either analog (RCA plugs) or digital (cable or fibre optic).

Problem I had with this is I was going from my DVI port on the Mac to HDMI using an adapter cable, but the DVI port doesn't carry audio, only video. My work around was then wiring an audio cable from the headphone jack of the computer to my surround system. (In my case I used a 3.5mm to RCA cable). Gets messy with extra wires but it does the trick for now.

No, DVI cables don't support sounds. You're thinking of HDMI, which is a related but separate technology.
