StarTech DVI2HD — DVI-D to HDMI with USB audio

A documented DVI-D-to-HDMI path with a separate Windows USB stereo-audio connection and a stated 1080p/60 Hz entry.

Also called StarTech DVI2HD DVI2HD

The two searchable endpoint forms represent video. The additional USB connection is a distinct audio/power path, not an extra video source or a generic DVI audio capability.

The useful distinction

Match the exact manufacturer model and read its labeled signal path. Connector appearance alone does not identify the product or its capabilities.

The useful distinction

Understand the requirement.

A documented DVI-D-to-HDMI path with a separate Windows USB stereo-audio connection and a stated 1080p/60 Hz entry. [C336A]

DVI2HD can add two-channel stereo from native USB audio on a Windows computer to the HDMI output. The sheet describes USB power and allows video-only use through the DVI connection; adding audio requires the separate USB connection. [C336B]

The DVI2HD performance table documents 1920 × 1080p at 60 Hz. Other listed resolutions have no individually stated refresh rates in the inspected sheet. This product entry is not a full timing or HDMI-feature compatibility guarantee. [C336C]

DVI2HD lists a 17.8 cm cable length separately from a 25.0 cm whole-product length. The document describes audio integration but does not explicitly assign an active/passive classification; that classification remains not established here. [C336D]

StarTech DVI2HD — DVI-D to HDMI with USB audio facts and limitations
Evidence scopeExact-product example; not a recommendation or inspected physical sample. [C336A]
Signal-path boundaryThe two searchable endpoint forms represent video. The additional USB connection is a distinct audio/power path, not an extra video source or a generic DVI audio capability. [C336A]
Verified device listNot included. Check exact device and accessory documentation.
A boundary, not an omission to guess around.

These source-scoped examples do not verify the ports, cables, drivers or timing modes of equipment you own. No compatibility verdict or approval is granted.

Before you connect

What to check

  1. Read the source and display port documentation.
  2. Match the exact product model, connector form and direction.
  3. Check auxiliary connections and operating limits independently.
  4. Do not force connectors, probe pins or treat these references as wiring instructions.

Common questions

Questions this record can help resolve

Can I reverse a DVI-to-VGA converter?Start with the documented source and display, then distinguish passive analog adaptation, active conversion and a bidirectional digital cable.Why does a DVI adapter have a USB lead?A USB connection can have a different documented job on different adapters. Separate optional power from audio insertion.HDMI/DVI cable or USB-audio adapter: what changes?Do not promote bidirectionality, a full DVI grid or a published timing into unsupported audio and performance guarantees.
