If I hook the Displayport up to the HDMI input of my onkyo stereo will this send both video and 5.1 surround to the stereo? Or do I need a sound card?

Sorry. Shouldn't need a sound card. Depending on your system config. What OS are you running?

I believe that the display port does not output sound like a HDMI port does. You would need to get the sound to the onkyo another way.

The nvidia control panel displays an option to setup the digital audio, but it is not available with my Sony Bravia; I'm not sure if it works but I think it is better to have a sound card.

This adapter is poorly made and will fail you quickly. To answer your question...Yes, the display port to hdmi will transfer audio as well as video. Just make sure your sound output is set to the hdmi in your system preferences

There is one audio output on the projector- a 3.5mm headphone jack. This will work for stereo, but may not be the best for a full 5.1 system.I ended up getting an HDMI -> HDMI / Optical audio extractor (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KBHX072/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_2?pf_rd_p=1944687782&pf;_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf;_rd_t=201&pf;_rd_i=B005COKXCO&pf;_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf;_rd_r=194PA6VV2MQ8HM2YAQRM) to accomplish your goal.

Yes. I have the exact setup you describe. I hear audio through the HDMI to my TV, and can turn on the stereo receiver and change the switch to 5.1 when I want surround sound. One point is, there is a slight audio delay between the HDMI and fiber outputs depending on the switch being on 2ch or 5.1ch. If the Monoprice is on 2ch, the tv is muted, and the receiver is turned on, the audio is slightly (milliseconds) out of sync with the video signal. But if I'm using the receiver and the Monoprice is on 5.1, the audio is synced up.

I'm 99% sure it has to be connected straight to the one connect box! I certainly can't get it to work on my onkyo with USB 3.0 and 4k.You can run an optical cable from the one connect to your onkyo and get Dolby digital from the UHD hard drive

How are you hooking up the rest of the channels? Via 5.1 in the motherboard? TOSLINK (digital/optical)? Explain your setup in detail and I can probably help you out.

yeah but its just a monitor so there will be no sound coming from it. you have to use an external source for the sound. oh for the hdmi you can just buy a $5 adapter from walmart or some other place. disregard my last comment!

Kevin is right. But as an option I ran the HDMI from DVD to receiver with HDMI pass through feature. Receiver extracted audio from HDMI and converter handles video. This way I got surround. I didn't use the stereo only audio out of the converter.

What drivers does this require, if any? I have a Win7 HP computer that I want to connect to my Pioneer A/V system which feeds a Bose 5.1 surround system. The Pioneer has only HDMI inputs and 1-optical input. The HP has no HDMI or Optical outputs. Will this card feed the Pioneer. I only want to listen to Spotify and YouTube audio where appropriate. The computer's main task is to be a screen saver feed to the big screen Samsung.

No but there is a solution.The audio output is via stereo jack or the hdmi. What I did to have 5.1surround through a n optical cable was to connect the hdmi audio/video out to an hdmi / sprig (optical) splitter. You get as an output the hdmi signal + optical audio. I am using the viewHD splitter and it works perfectly

That's the point of the receiver. Route all videos inputs to the HDMI output. I suppose there will be no loss of signals, you need to configure the HDMI output to HD (1080P).

I ran into the issue of my Yamaha receiver not being 3D compatible. I had to run the HDMI directly to the projector and use a fiber optic cable from the player to the receiver for the sound. However, I have a 7.1 system and fiber optics only supports 5.1 so I am going to get a passive splitter that supports 3D to send an HDMI signal to both devices. If you don't have a receiver, you will need to get one if you want to get sound out to external speakers as there is no pass through on this device.

The only thing limiting your audio is your receiver. The newer Denons and Onkyos have HDMI ins and outs which should take care of the issue, not to mention enough room for a 7.1 rig. Best of luck.IRSSLEX

i have plasma "optical out" and i have my receiver with 'RCA input only" with 5.1 Speaker out, do this adapter work to have 5.1 surround sound. My receiver is only RCA Input, and i want 5.1 out, NOT Stereo?.

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

Thanks for the reply. Ill try that. Just to pass some info along, my friend told me the best way to hook up the audio is through an optical cable. Ive never used one. There is a port on my PS3 as well as my surrond sound. He said this cable was the best way to get the highest quality out of your surround sound. Kind of like comparing SD to HD. My optima will be coming in tomorrow, I cant wait. Kinda like christmas for me haha. Thanks for the advice on the ceiling mount. I was gonna buy the 20$ one but after your comment I went for the Atdec TH-WH-PJ-FM Telehook Universal Projector Flush Mountit was 54$ but had some good reviews. Cant wait till tomorrow....calling into work sick! Thanks for the reply. Ill try that. Just to pass some info along, my friend told me the best way to hook up the audio is through an optical cable.

Turning surround 5.1 to stereo work great. I run my TV audio to my stereo receiver as an option for movies or sports anyway so I didn't notice any difference
