How does AMD HDMI Audio work?

cheesy999 · Jun 23, 2011

thinking of buying a low end ATI card so a pc can connect to a TV and send both sound and video through the same cable

How will i have to set up the card so it sends sound, i'm thinking just put the card in the pci-e slot and turn on the audio in driver settings? (although how i do this i don't know not owning an ATI/AMD card)

How does the sound work and sound?

Generally if only a HDMI cable is plugged into the graphics card without any other audio cable plugged into the system then the HDMI audio will be your default without you having to mess with your audio settings.

so all i do is start up the pc with no other connections,no connecting s/pdif from the sound card to the graphics card like on the old ones or anything?

You don't even need a sound card. Plug in the HDMI cable and you're set.

great, and what's the easiest way to migrate hard drive, i'm upgrading my main rig from 250gb to 1tb (my 250gb now has no free space)

Just need to go into Control Panel>Sound and select the ATI HDMI as the output device.

Both WD and Seagate have "disktools" to clone your drives.

i'm moving from a hitachi to a samsung (finally replacing that deathstar), so i don't think they will help

Try to find a copy of Norton Ghost or Acronis TrueImage... somewhere.

Meh, I suppose but I just wouldn't trust windows repair. A proper cloning program will work fine.

Give it a try! Just don't erase any data on the original drive and you should be good.
