Ati Hdmi Adapter Views

But a DVI-D Link Adapter can be bought for fairly cheep so it doesn't seem out of the relm to give it a try. I my case it seemed the video card used some of the monitors dual adapter pins and was sending the audio through them causing the white haze. With these missing pins the audio comes through and lets call it noise or distoration in the HD video signal causing a white haze across the entire screen picture. So the picture looked curmmy using the HDMI cable. I had to use the DVI and onboard sound to make this work with the video card I was using, I have since built up another computer using high end video cards that has this same ability and it works fine with the same monitor. HD is beautiful and sound is digital through the video card. No problems. Just some kind of incompatibility between my ATI 3870 video card and the Dell monitor.

Hey everyone, I am in the process of hooking up my new TV to my PC and I am wondering if anyone knows anything about these ATI DVI - HDMI Active Adapters?Especially in regards to what does the Active part mean? Apparently these adapters only work with certain ATI cards and I would like to know what makes them different compared to the other DVI - HDMI adapters you can buy.On one site it says the following: Converts DVI output on ATI HDMI-compatible video card to HDMI plugDesigned to work with ATI X2400/2600/2900 series cards whose DVI has the capability to do HDMIYour card's DVI plug must have the ATI HDMI output via DVI for this to workWill not convert any other card's standard DVI to HDMI So does anyone have any idea what this is all about?Thanks.

The Online Shop ATI is offering the DVI-HDMI adapter (Part Number: 6141054300G) as a replacement to lost or damaged adapters ONLY. It can not be sold separately. This adapter will not enable HDMI through the DVI output of any Radeon™ HD 2000 series board; it will only work if your product was originally shipped with a DVI-HDMI adapter.

i think you are talking about ATI videocards with an integrated sound chip on the videocard. that is why it can output video and audio on HDMI. i think NVidia videocards can only output video if you use the DVI to HDMI adapter. correct me if i'm wrong. i believe that DVI and HDMI share the same signal. they just have a different connector. that is why you have a DVI to HDMI adapter. about the two monitors with speakers? i think you should use external speakers with your onboard audio. when you insert a videocard. you should disable your onboard video. then connect both monitors to the DVI connectors on the videocard. also, i don't think videocards are supposed to output audio or have audio channels. that is why there are soundcards out there. unless you are using an ATI videocard (with an integrated sound chip) on HDMI. that is a different case.
