uncompressed audio/video signals. The HDMI port is HDCP compliant and supports Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD
Master Audio formats. It also supports up to 192KHz/24bit 8-channel LPCM audio output. You can use
this port to connect your HDMI-supported monitor. The maximum supported resolution is 1920x1200, but
the actual resolutions supported are dependent on the monitor being used.
After installing the HDMI device, make sure to set the default sound playback device to HDMI.
