ToHDMI
The answer
Short answer Yes, with a DVI-D-to-HDMI cable or adapter for video. Audio needs a separate path, for example an adapter documented to add USB audio.
What you need
The cable or adapter class
- The sheet explicitly documents DVI source to HDMI display and HDMI source to DVI display.
- Documented DVI-D computer output to HDMI display; the separate USB connection supplies the optional audio path.
Before you buy
What must be true
- Bidirectional digital-video use is documented; a particular timing or audio mode is not.
- DVI-D video input to HDMI output; the performance table states 1920 × 1080p at 60 Hz.
- Native USB audio from the documented Windows computer example; not USB video or general-purpose USB bridging.
Watch out
Direction and exact products matter
Connectors that fit do not prove a connection works. Check that the exact cable or adapter is documented for DVI-D → HDMI, and that both devices support what you need.
