Hi, I'd like to hook my PC to my LCD TV, but I'll need to buy a long cable to do that (~35ft). My TV has both HDMI and a VGA input, but I don't know which one would be better to use. I'm looking at buying a DVI to HDMI cable, because HDMI carries both video and sound signals. My question is: is it possible to send sound through the video card, so that I wouldn't have to run separate sound wires? My motherboard and video card are under my system specs. Thanks for any advice.
