I have never once used hdmi audio for anything but an a/v type experience. Monitor speakers are generally garbage, monitors generally don't support bluetooth for audio connectivity, their headphone jacks are often in hard to reach places, and I have yet to find on that supports a microphone. Just easier to go directly to the machine for audio.
