[cisco-voip] cisco hdmi to dvi cable - audio from HDMI?

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

Alright – before I go spending big bucks… what do we think the use case here is?

I plug my laptop into the V/C unit so I get my display to share. When would I need audio? For fancy slide shows, maybe a video show?

I’m thinking it’s not gonna happen often…

I’m quite certain it will not transfer digital audio from the HDMI port to the analog 3.5mm connector on the DVI side. That would require an active converter.

Given the complexities in this (and how it breaks HDCP) unless the thing you are buying specifically says it does it assume it does not.

Amazon has boxes that will do this, but a quick search doesn’t give me any cables that do it.

Does anyone know if the CAB-DVI-HDMI-8M+= cable will take audio directly from the HDMI source and pump it to the audio cable in the DVI end? Or whether both 1/8” jacks need to be plugged in to feed audio to the far end?

We have a C60 and two SX20s that only have DVI in with a spare mic input. Of course, laptops nowadays have HDMI. Not too many have the audio out. Or close enough for that little pigtail.
