Does this send an audio signal through the HDMI cable itself? I would be connecting it to an HDTV with NO external speakers.

My assumption is yes since the only hookup I use for video and sound is this HDMI to my surround sound out to the TV.

Yes, it works just like any HDMI cable. Both signals Audio & Video are on the cable so nothing else needed.Works really well. I saved me a lot of work as my TV only has one composite port and it;s been taken by my cable box, requiring a cable run through a wall and under a floor.

I am using it currently and we have no external speakers either... The only reason we needed this was because our DVR doesn't have HDMI... (old but still works)... But all audio comes through the TV, so it should work for you.

the piece is really simple to use. plug it into the back of your Wii, plug the hdmi cable from the Wii to the TV. If you have sound from your TV from shows and movies, you will get sound from the games you play. I hope that helps.

Once u plug the HDMI cable into the wii2hdmi and then into your HD tv u will be able to hear the Wii system coming from your TV's built in speakers... I hope this helped. P.S. An HDMI cable will always allow sound and audio to be played just better and less cables.

No need for external speakers, the HDMI carries both video and audio signals, this product does work as advertised and I can confirm with my own experience.

The HDMI inputs outputs do carry audio signals. In the simplest setup where all sources and monitors (I.e. TVs, receivers, etc) are HDMI capable, you won't need to worry about audio. However, if your receiver is HDMI-less, then you have the choices of sending analog or digital audio signal to it. While I've not tried digital signal but the analog works for me just like you stated in your question. I've read in the product reviews that the unit can only output one type of signal at a time. Meaning you can't have both analog and digital outputs at the same time. Search the reviews may help.

No, it transmitted a mirror image of my screen immediately without changing any settings. I was not able to transmit sound to my tv via the cable, however, and have to use a separate (inexpensive) cable from the computers sound output jack.

HDMI cable worked with AV receiver just fine ... both video and audio signal from Wii to receiver, then video signal to TV and audio to external speakers. I did not need to use a separate audio output.

I agree with the other answers, HDMI plays sound to the speakers on monitor, as some reviews say speakers are not the greatest but they are fine for my use.

I have the HDMI video out of my receiver going to a projector, and the audio is running out to the speakers via the wires from the receiver. I have not had any issues with this setup.

It depends on your TV. Many don't relay sound from HDMI in to their own OUT ports, or (as Brandon suggested) might do so only after their settings were changed (see TV manual). See AVSForum.com for discussion and a place to get more detailed help.

I believe that the HDMI does handle audio but the other end, DVI or VGA does not.

The sound comes through the HDMI. We used this to connect a laptop & tv, so we did have to go in and adjust the settings on the laptop to make the sound come through. It was awhile ago, so I dont remember what setting I had to change for it all to work, maybe sound card, maybe an hdmi port setting, but it works.

Yes, there is a setting in the setup that allows you to send audio to the HDMI-out port.

I didnt have an issue with mine.You have it the receiver to automatically detect and send audio?Maybe try a different HDMI?

your computer may not have this capability to send the sound through your HDMI cable. you can get a seperate sound cable for your jack in the back of the tv or get speakers for your computer. I use speakers on my computer.

No. No audio. I am using an HDMI splitter and have speakers plugged in there.

Does this play sound thru the HDMI cable? My 360s did not and required the green cable to be connected for sound which on my TV was coupled with the VGA input which meant I had no sound....

Yes it does have an HDMI pass through but I only use it for video not audio so I don't know if the audio passes through.

that was my experience; somewhere in the literature in fact says that if you use HDMI or Digital Optical cable, that you have to use the audio cable out as well (defeats the purpose of the HDMI or Digital Optical cable IMO), however it works well with that set-up

Ofcourse!! HDMI send Video and audio at same cable...! dont worry about it, and if you want send audio by the speaker output you can to, you only need configure your OS, but by default the HDMI send audio and video...!! I hope my answer can help you...
