    I want to buy a video card with HDMI out so I can connect the PC to the flatscreen TV via HDMI cable. Will this also carry the sound signal?

    Yes. SPDIF.

    Read and understand the literature of your soundcard/mainboard and videocard.

    Locate the SPDIF headers in your soundcard/motherboard soundcard and connect it to the SPDIF input of the videocard.

    I am not sure if there's a new format wherein the SPDIF is ported via PCIe.

    Our technician says that there are models that do and don't so I guess it's a matter of pricing and features.

    Favor naman for those who have both sound and video, please post your model/brand and perhaps the price. Matagal ko ng gustong gawin to

    I bought mine sa monoprice.com very cheap but good quality. No need to buy expensive ones like monster cable. HDMI stands for Hi Def "Multimedia" Interface so its name says it. Your technician is wrong, HDMI cable will carry both Video and Audio

    Yes, HDMI cable itself does carry both. but AFAIK, some older videocards have no SPDIF inputs/Sound inputs. kaya depende din as mentioned by Memphis Raines.

Does the HDMI port in video cards include sound?
