Can you get audio through your TV with just the HDMI cable?
Hello everyone
I was wondering if HD equipement (in this case, the Playstation 3) can output audio as well through the HDMI cable.
I am asking this because I wish to use the HDMI cable to output via high definition to the TV.
So just by switching the TV into "DVI" mode, would I be able to get both audio and video?
If not, how exactly would you get audio?
For example, using component cables gives you 3 video plugs and 2 audio plugs (the red and white one). You can get both video and audio through the TV.
In the case of a HDMI cable, is is just the one plug.
Anyone know?
Thank you.
Yes. HDMI carries both audio and video; however, if your TV has only a DVI port, then you need a separate audio cable to get the audio.
