Will this adapter work with both the displayport and the displayport-2. The original displayport does not support sound

Morgan' I wouldn't purchase this from them my sound and tv was working fine for 2 months and it shot on me and never worked again' save your money from buying this and just spent the 20& at apple and get the adapter that will work!

I'm actually not sure which is which with the display ports but I have a macbook pro and it works. I've actually found that to get the sound to work, you'd have to change the settings on your computer for the sound to come through the adaptor (to the tv) rather than the speakers on your computer. Hope this helps.

Hi JamisonCheck your specs. I you have a Mini DisplayPort it should work. It is just an adapter. Good luck

this is only an adapter to change the connector type. it will support the max resolution of the computer's video card and the native resolution of the monitor without other limitations

We have not tested this adapter with the equipment you are using so we cannot guarantee it will function.

Mini-DisplayPort & "regular" DisplayPort use exactly the same signals, only the physical connector size is different. Therefore, only "passive" adapter is needed. An "active" adapter doesn't even exist.

I don't know what you're asking but Display port & HDMI can carry sound. DVI can not

Theoretically yes but the monitor you connect to the HDMI out of this adaptor may not necessarily recognize that is is part of a chain since the displayport and HDMI communication protocols are slightly different. For the price it is worth a try.

should be no problem. Keep in mind that HDMI does have sound but that VGA does not. The adapter will work fine as long as you are doing regular PC functions -- the sound for a movie, for example, will have to run from the laptop itself. But you can look at email and other PC stuff just fine.

In theory, YES, buy probably not. When I used the adapter with my Denon Receiver, they both could not negotiate a resolution, and the screen would flash back and forth.

Yes, this adapter put out sound o nthe HDMI cable. You don't need anything else.

The adapter supports port multiplier functionality which is what you'll need for this to work. So yes, this should work for you.

This HDMI to VGA adaptor works great for the video only. No sound. I hope this helps.

This adaptor uses a passive converter type. See the product page. http://www.startech.com/AV/Displayport-Converters/Mini-DisplayPort-to-DisplayPort-DVI-or-HDMI-Multifunction-Adapter~MDP2DPDVHD

It's not that kind of adapter, you should try something like this: SYBA Universal VGA to HDMI Converter with Audio Support, Adapter for PC, Laptop, DVD, Desktop, SY-ADA31025

"Despite what you may read, there is no such thing as a DisplayPort 1.1 cable and DisplayPort 1.2 cable. A standard DisplayPort cable, including the so-call DisplayPort 1.1 cables, will work for any DisplayPort configuration including the new capabilities enabled by DisplayPort 1.2, including 4K and multi-stream capabilities."http://www.displayport.org/cables/how-to-choose-a-displayport-cable-and-not-get-a-bad-one/
