    Just wondering if anyone has tried the 5920 through a decent HD tv and if the HDMI output carries sound as well as video. Just asking as I note some laptops only output video through the connector.

    Thanks.

    Sound does go through the HDMI port.. The only thing that I had to do to get it to work is set the output to "Realtek HDMI Output"

    Is there any way to get Vista to automatically change the audio output to HDMI when you connect the cable? I mean, the display is changed automatically to the TV when you connect the HDMI cable so why can't it do the same with the audio??
