Erhm, a sound card only does audio ports, not video. Otherwise it would be a video card.
Does your TV have a 3.5mm jack? If yes, you could probably get a male > male 3.5mm cable somewhere cheap and run that from the sound card to the TV while using HDMI for video. Just make sure in your Windows audio settings, you delete every output that is not the soundcard.
If you have an amp and speakers than you can connect the gpu to the tv via hdmi (sound and video) and connect the tv to the amp with what ever is your audio output (from tv to amp)
I use TV's speakers.
what kind of tv do you have and what is your audio options on your sound card?
What this has to do with thread's query? :huh:
would give you an option since you can never connect a hdmi cable to a usb sound card or any sound card i have seen.
Do you have a problem mentioning your tv?![]()
The reason I said sound cards only have audio ports. is because you asked if you could connect HDMI to your soundcard but HDMI is a video signal that also carries audio.
It uses whatever the HDMI's signal is coming from. Like the GPU for example.Ok, if a usb soundcard cannot be used via hdmi cable, then thats the answer.
But, in the same way, what about an internal soundcard? Again is out of service?
Hdmi always use the mobo's souncard?
what gpu you have cause my gpu (r9 270x) allows for sound through hdmi conncted to gpu and tv and i have a cheap tv (logic).
Give your system specs?
HDMI caries audio natively.

It'd be a waste anyway if you used a soundcard for built in speakers on your TV.

to connect with tv you need rca, spdif, etc... http://www.tvblanket.com/image/dvd_outputs.JPG
If you connect your PC to a TV via HDMI then it does not use the onboard sound. What it does is sending a digital audio signal in addition to the video signal to your tv. The "soundcard" if you will in this case is actually your TV.
