    Just do what I do. DVI to HDMI to an HDMI audio extractor to DVI.

    All that for one of these guys, with the speaker bar (not pictured)

        Hah, no. Kinda looks like it, though. It’s a lamp, made out of a big glass vase and some LEDs, and the inside is a burned out resistive load that helped dissipate the excess energy from an old automated welding station. Basically, a big heatsink with a bunch of huge resistors. Just meant to dump a ton of energy out as heat for a few seconds at a time. I don’t have any better pics of it, I’m afraid.

      Many monitors have an audio out port in the monitor itself now. Really useful if you have multiple inputs.

        Yeah, that is super handy. I wish this one had that. That’s what I was trying to emulate with the audio extractor.

      I miss my DVI to HDMI. Had to trade it off to a friend because his BenQ tinted everything lime green over HDMI. I gotta get another one to put in my big bag of cords I’ll never use but really like to have around.
