I noticed from page 4 of the link that both DVI-I ports on the card support
a VGA dongle so certainly no audio is being provided over the 4 non DVI
ports.
I also noticed that the card comes with what appears to be a standard DVI to
HDMI adapter which like standard DVI-HDMI cables just map the digital video
pins in the DVI connector to the corresponding pins in a HDMI connector
since the DVI digital protocol is a subset of HDMI video protocol.
I also noticed that no where in the user's manual is there any mention of
the video card also supporting any audio.
The card is not like some of the new ATI 2xxx chip cards that have a real
HDMI connector on them which do support HDMI digital audio.
