Does this transmit Audio? Can i use this to connect it to my HDMI TV set and transmit BOTH video and audio through the cable?

As long as the device in question has the feature set enabled by the manufacturer, HDMI video and sound output are possible from a Displayport. I confirmed this with Sapphire Customer Service about an ATI based 5570 video card I purchased with the Displayport. I like the flexibility of options DP gives. It can do everything HDMI can do, and more. It allows for much longer cable runs without degradation of signal, and it also allows you to hook the single cable to multiple monitors for a variety of configurations. You used to be limited to dual ports on most cards. 2xDVI is usually the standard, but with DP, you can hook up more than that using the single cable. For these reasons, I disagree with SH when he refers to Dell's decision to utilize the DP crap. Honestly, any technology is superior that can perform the same tasks as it's competition -in addition to it's own feature set.

HDMI sends audio and video; you only need to provide separate audio if you are using a computer without native hdmi (ie a computer without an hdmi port where you need a hdmi adaptor to connect to the vidio card)e

Thank for your inquiry. The answer is no. Your TV can not transmit 5.1 channel audio from an HDMI digital source through the Optical connection.

PamRosa, We haven't tested that, so it's difficult to give a definitive answer. You can try by using an RCA cable to your receiver from the "audio out" port while it's connected. If not, however, we can't offer support on how to make that happen. HDMI usually carries both the audio and video through the same cable, and the design may not offer an option. --Mr. S

Yes, you can connect this via hdmi to your TV or Computer Monitor. Or even to a stereo receiver. In addition, the hdmi will carry sound as well as picture.

If all you need to do it put audio through your receiver, this device will work for you. My receiver doesn't have HDMI either, so I just feed the audio using TOSLINK to it and the HDMI out to my TV. Works fine.

To transmit the audio from a TV, you would need to convert back to analog. You could hook it to your analog audio out jacks from your TV.

The HDMI transmits the audio, but if you want to connect it to speakers, like powered computer speakers you can. Also you can get a 3.5 to RCA red and white cable to plug in to a receiver if its older and didn't have a hdmi port on it. That way you might have something louder than most tvs put out.

No, it transmitted a mirror image of my screen immediately without changing any settings. I was not able to transmit sound to my tv via the cable, however, and have to use a separate (inexpensive) cable from the computers sound output jack.

Yes. It comes with one for transmit, and one for receiving. Pay attention to your connections. These work great for video. They only carried two channel audio in my setup.

don't get the 506. it does not send the audio through the HDMI ports. you need a separate cable for audio whic in essence defeats the purpose of HDMI.

This device does not output any audio through HDMI, it simply passes the audio through the connections it comes from. Coax to Coax, and optical to optical.

Don't have an answer but it transmits audio and visual signals, are they different on a computer than a TV.

your computer may not have this capability to send the sound through your HDMI cable. you can get a seperate sound cable for your jack in the back of the tv or get speakers for your computer. I use speakers on my computer.
