yes for the second part of you'r question it really does provide 5.1 chnl audio.and no i did not tried it with a gaming console only as computer set.

Yes. You have to enable HDMI digital audio in NVIDIA Control Panel and change your target output device. I run music from my computer directly to my A/V Receiver this way.

Mine Does support audio. I have an SDI from a Blackmagic ATEM into this device outputting HDMI to an Atomos Ninja Blade-Audio works great over HDMI

Joe I,Typically the television connection will downcovert signals to 2-channel stereo for HDMI inputs. Few apps support 5.1 surround, so you might want to see if that option is available first.--Mr. S

Hello, i'm not an sound expert, and i've never heard how an hdmi converter sounded like. I bought this because my television has a toslink sound output and i needed a converter for a very good Phillips speakers, with a 3,5 jack input. I recommend you read carefully the Product Descriptions of both products. Sorry i couldn't give you a better answer... Have a good year! Diogo Gomes

I'm not certain that it is HDMI 1.4a. Are you hoping to channel audio output from your television back into you computer?

This can be confusing, but I have tested this extensively. Yes, the HDMI audio will play out through the 3.5mm audio out port on the back to drive a pair of speakers or headphones. If you are on "HDMI 1" then the audio will play from that source. If you switch to "HDMI 2" then the audio will switch to that source. If you switch to D-SUB VGA then you need to have a 3.5mm cable running from your computer audio output/sound card to the 3.5mm input on the monitor. You can only get 1 source at a time and that source has to be the active screen on the monitor. In other words you cannot be looking at "HDMI 1" and getting audio from anything other than "HDMI 1." Also keep in mind that if you want to use the D-SUB audio setup then you "might" need to go into your audio settings in your operating system and make it the default or enable it. "HDMI 1" then

The HDMI inputs outputs do carry audio signals. In the simplest setup where all sources and monitors (I.e. TVs, receivers, etc) are HDMI capable, you won't need to worry about audio. However, if your receiver is HDMI-less, then you have the choices of sending analog or digital audio signal to it. While I've not tried digital signal but the analog works for me just like you stated in your question. I've read in the product reviews that the unit can only output one type of signal at a time. Meaning you can't have both analog and digital outputs at the same time. Search the reviews may help. The HDMI inputs outputs do carry audio signals.

If you already have a 5.1 setup, then why do you care about audio on this projector? Oh, after thinking about your question, I realized that you must not have a Home Theater Receiver. This projector is not an AV receiver. You can only hook up headphones/small speakers to this projector. You should really be using separate receiver for your speakers.

I wood say yes. It should send 5.1 audio! It just extends what is on the cable.

It depends. The 5.1 is a bit of a strange deal, but it definitely did what I wanted it to do, and that was provide 5.1 audio from HDMI to Optical into my old 5.1 receiver that only had Optical in and no HDMI. The trick is that it doesn't do Linear PCM or any uncompressed 5.1 sound. However, compressed audio like Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS 5.1 work perfectly. Depending on the Sonos's settings, you should be able to get 5.1 through to it using this switch

The unit will output HDMI video and audio to two displays no matter the size. We will assume that you are sending the audio to a surround receiver in a 5.1 situation. You focus your audio on the surround receiver, and you send the video to the displays. In that regard, this unit supports what you are doing. There is some delay in the HDMI switching, but what HDMI component doesn't have some delay. It's an intense signal.

Have done all this, but how do I get 5.1 sound from the external source? Sound only coming through the front speakers. What input should I be using on the receiver to get 5.1 sound from the external source? TIA.

It has an Embedded high-definition audio with 5.1-channel support. Thanks, PCrush
