Actually, they intentionally crippled their DVI ports. Their HDMI adapters "uncripple" said ports. FTA:
Included with many graphics cards are DVI-to-HDMI adapters for running an HDMI monitor off a DVI port on modern graphics cards. However, for whatever reason, if you want to use HDMI audio, AMD only wants you using the adapters included with the graphics card itself.
- kylec 13y agoIs audio even included in DVI? They're probably including it in some non-standard way that differs from other, non-standard ways that other video card manufacturers use to adapt DVI to HDMI with audio.
- vidarh 13y agoIt might not be standard, but it's "close enough" that other adapters apparently works once the check is disabled. But perhaps that wasn't the case when this solution was first implemented and they were just covering their ass in case and nobody have thought to change it.
