When you connect the HDMI to a DVI device with a HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable, it only transfers the video signal, so it is necessary to
use separate analogue leads to transfer the audio signals.
The HDMI-2-connection has no analogue audio input. If you want to connect a DVI appliance to it, you will not hear a sound through
the TV loud speakers. If you want to hear the sound of a DVI appliance through the TV loud speakers then connect the DVI

About HDMI
HDMI (High De nition Multimedia Interface) supports both video
and audio on a single digital connection for use with DVD players,
DTV, set-top boxes, and other AV devices. HDMI was developed
to provide the technologies of High Bandwidth Digital Content
Protection (HDCP) as well as Digital Visual Interface (DVI) in one
speci cation. HDCP is used to protect digital content transmitted
and received by DVI-compliant or HDMI-compliant displays.
HDMI has the capability to support standard, enhanced, or high-
de nition video plus standard to multi-channel surround-sound
audio. HDMI features include uncompressed digital video, a
bandwidth of up to 2.2 gigabytes per second (with HDTV signals),
one connector (instead of several cables and connectors), and
communication between the AV source and AV devices such as
DTVs.
HDMI, the HDMI logo and High-Definition Multimedia Interface are
