I am using the ATI 4890 card for my home theater. I use the audio from this cable for my theater room. Sometimes I have other TV's on in the house and have them hooked up via a video audio distribution system. I want to be able to output the audio out on my mother board (im fine if its just 2.0 stereo analog) at the same time as my HDMI audio out. I can only enable one device at a time in Windows 7, can I just "clone the audio" somehow? seems like a simple request, but cant seem to figure it out.


Setup:

Windows 7 64bit

ATI 4890 card

Gigabyte UD5 mobo

I'm using an ATI HDMI out on a 2600XT and have the same situation. Only audio output is with HDMI when that device is selected and I don't see any way of getting around it. I'd have thought by now that they would have found a way to make the HDMI sound available to all other outputs.

If Windows 7 is the same as Vista in this respect, then it is not possible. You can only select 1 device at a time.


Another option you can consider is using a HDMI splitter device to repeat the HDMI signal and carry the HDMI over CAT6 to your other TVs.

I wish they would address this. Analog would be perfect for wireless headphones (night listening). Even if Windows would automatically switch over when the headphone jack was plugged in I'd be happy.
