How to get sound from DVI to HDMI

Hmm, good question. I will keep thinking of a way. I can only think of a splitter.

Get a Male DVI to Female HDMI and put a HDMI switch on it and hook it up to the monitor.

EDIT: didn't read the full question Sorry. I don't think you can just get audio from a HDMI cable as it's a digital signal and 3.5mm jack is analog you would need some type of powered spliter

The closest thing I could remember is this HDMI to VGA adapter that has an audio adapter

Why not just use the HDMI-HDMI-to DVI out for video and then use a 3.5mm audio cable? Would that not work?

 

EDIT: I just saw that picture now. I think you'd have to use an HDMI splitter or something else. :(

DVI has analog and digital so it would not work on a digital only cable.

Perhaps buying a new monitor would be the simplest solution. Also, were you to end up buying several splitters/converters etc until finding the correct one it could be cheaper too..

you could use this to split the audio from the video signal

you would then use a hdmi to dvi adaptor to connect to your monitor

then connect a 3.5mm audio cable to the port on the adaptor and connect that to your monitor or to speakers

just grab the one with the output you need both have hdmi pass through and split off the audio.

Can you use the hdmi for video and the the usb port for audio through a amplifier with usb in and the out that you need?
