Streaming 360 with media center? *update: connection problems*

well here is my main problem (maybe it’s not that bad).

My PC is pretty much already an HTPC. I use HDMI to connect my monitor and have to use another cable for sound to run it to my speakers.

Is there some sort of patch I can apply to get sound out of HDMI or do I need a new vid card? the 8800gt’s are supposed to support it but doesn’t. That way I would only need 1 cable running to the TV opposed to 3.

the pc will either be in another room, or accross the living room when I get my desk moved in here.

you have a PM kevin
