Audio and Video Cables and Adapters

Cable/Adapter
NOTE: When using a VGA or DVI signal, you must connect your audio separately because a VGA or DVI signal
converts only video data, not audio data. A separate audio connection is not necessary when you use an HDMI
signal, because an HDMI signal can convert both video and audio data.
