[SOLVED] Is there an adapter for DVI and mini TRS to HDMI?

If I understood well, HDMI has both audio and video signal, DVI is only video and mini TRS is audio only. Since HDMI is almost always there for a HDTV, and DVI and mini TRS are almost always there for a relatively new PC, why is that I can't seem to find any cable that would take the DVI out and mini TRS out from a PC and pass it to the HDMI in of the HDTV?

No, what I mean by mini TRS is that standard audio jack.

newer gfx cards do include the audio in the HDMI feed whenusing the proper DVI > HDMI adapter. The card comes with a cord which you plug into the onboard audio (i assume the digital coax, but do not know)
