[TriLUG] DVI-D??????

[Reginald Reed]

I don't think audio is part of the DVI spec.  I'd caution others to
know the capabilities of both the graphics card and the converter that
they use.  Both must support audio for this to work.

I'm glad it worked out for you, a single cable is *way* better to deal
with 2 or more.
