DVI-D to HDMI Adapter Work?! [2020]

[@ZackEberly]

I made a video to help answer many QUESTIONS and ANSWERS- kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZKpnX-qoLSblcU

[@ZackEberly]

Thanks, I find that a lot of people have 3 min intro and then talk about info because it makes them more money.

[@KtosZPlanetyZiemia]

@@ZackEberly en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Visual_Interface Some DVI-D sources use non-standard extensions to output HDMI signals including audio (e.g. ATI 3000-series and NVIDIA GTX 200-series).[9] Some multimedia displays use a DVI to HDMI adapter to input the HDMI signal with audio. Exact capabilities vary by video card specifications. As it is said, in standard DVI-D do not support audio - HDMI does. They have some compatibilietes, but as you pointed out - they are not same, i.e. supported maximum resolutions. Have a nice day.

[@redminote1440]

@@ZackEberly bro how long did that adapter (dvi n hdmi) last ? Some says it lasted only for few weeks n died ...

[@ZackEberly]

@@redminote1440 I still use it today. Used it on many different computers and its never failed. Now there as been some troubleshooting done which is why most people can't get them to work cuz they don't know what to do.

[@SoyborgGaming]

thank you. google and literally everyone else on the internet does not tell you the answer to such a simple question. they only tell you "hdmi source can connect to dvi output". when you ask the reverse question, you get ""hdmi source can connect to dvi output". which helps me at a fat 0%. finally, i get a solid answer

[@tompeters4234]

Does DVI-D carry audio? Typically no. It is a video display interface only. However, there are some computer graphics cards and sources that do support output of audio using non-standard extensions to the spec via the DVI-D port and a DVI-to-HDMI adapter or cable. There are also DVI + R/L stereo audio-to-HDMI converters that take in the DVI video plus right and left stereo output from the sound card to combine them into an HDMI signal containing both the video and audio. Usually used to connect an older computer with DVI output video card and sound card audio output to an HDTV with HDMI input. These are powered converters, but relatively inexpensive and readily available.

[@Dawid5g]

I need that can you give me link

[@johncortes3831]

Thanks a lot buddy, I was having a hard time finding out what HDMI splitter would work for me as I only have one HDMI port on my PC, then I saw someone seeling the DVI-D to HDMI adapter and I wanted to find out if it would work or not. Now, I will get to use two screens by buying a very cheap adapter instead of a splitter that they sell for around 4 times de adapter's price.

[@daygoo_7382]

Thank you so much! Without this video I would have bought the wrong dvi adapter due to me being slow.

[@Jakefromstatefarm379]

[@ilija712]

Works for me, I put the adapter into dvi d slot on Nvidia gtx 1050 and then connected it with an hdmi cable to my TV and both video and audio work. Great video!

[@darkwolf2093]

This is why i am here XD

[@Axxetto]

Doesn't the gtx 1050 already have a hdmi port?

[@darkwolf2093]

Yup I tested myself and it works.

does this work with audio ?

[@d.n.a735]

Honestly thank you so god damn much. You dont understand how every other person on the internet made this sound confusing as fuck. Without you i would’ve fucked up my set up

[@ZackEberly]

No problem... Glad I could help👍

[@theexile4694]

Dvi does not supoort audio. Sound will not go through. This video is just lying to you so you buy one of these adapters via his affiliate link and he makes money off your purchase. Lol.

[@realg2279]

DVI-I can support audio via analog Your not right mate

[@WoopidyDou]

DVI-D can output audio, i think it all depends on the output source itself. For example, Some GPU with DVI-D might not be a dual link DVI despite having a dual link connector (e.g. rx 570, since thats the one that i am using and it doesnt support dual link dvi)

[@HAXAHAX]

You give me the exact information I need thank you 👌🤘😈

[@seiji-kun9488]

This is late and you may not read this but I’ll ask anyways. We can still select where the sound will play if we have an external speaker for the PC right? Thanks in advance! Great video btw.

[@ZackEberly]

Yeah, you can change to whatever audio device you want.

[@d.veritas4882]

I was hoping you'd turn on the TV so we could see if the regular TV worked with an antenna. The computer screen wasn't bad. But you should show both TV & monitor abilities.

[@dennislischer3488]

Hi, a very well sequenced video, and you have great sense of humor. I'm trying to get my old plasma tv to display video from an HDMI port (computer/laptop). Do you know if it would work? So the TV has a DVI-D port only, no other inputs. It actually uses a media receiver which is broken. Hence, I'm trying to bypass it.

[@xZeroGunnerx]

Great video, I'm gonna buy this adapter and this answer some questions that I had 👍

Thanks for the video needed a adapter since I don't have a monitor and was planning on using my TV but it didn't have a dvi-d port

[@kennys5819]

Thanks for the informative video. I have the exact adapter you are using..24 pin with one short pin in the exact same place yours is, and It does nothing. I'm going into a 19 inch monitor, and I've tried it with my computer as well as the fire stick, and I get noting but the no connection error floating around the black screen. The monitor has no speakers, but I don't expect sound as I intend to use Bluetooth for that, Any ideas?

[@ZackEberly]

There's what I know. I recently bought a dvi-d to vga only to find that it doesnt work. The solution is to buy a active adapter... which cost more but is supposed to work. So I think you need an active dvi-d to hdmi adapter. There are some but they are 30 dollars a bit expense .

[@kennys5819]

Thanks Zack, I had looked into the active type and you're right, a bit expensive. It's not that crucial but If could have done it on the cheap I figured I'd try it. And for future reference it's good to verify some things just don't work. Thanks for getting back with me

[@jonnyboi9026]

Btw everyone, if you look at the diagram only dual link dvi can support 2560x1600 at 144hz. Single link can only support 1920x1080 at 144hz.

[@ZackEberly]

It’s very interesting cuz I made a video linked in that video about what the highest resolution is and I got a different answer. Lower resolution was the only time I could get a higher frame rate.

[@EKUTAN1]

Thanks, great video!

[@thepdxperception9028]

So, I have a desktop, with one hdmi out with two monitors. and bought a HDMI splitter and it just mirrored the screens. Seems dumb now. But with this I can extend so it’s a second monitor right? I have the second one hooked up VGA and it just looks like crap. Just wondering if I should get a DVI to hdmi or a VGA to hdmi cuz I want the best quality

[@ZackEberly]

Dvi-d to hdmi has better quality due to the fact that VGA has a lower bitrate.

thank you bro, this is the video i was looking for.

it works and with audio i have the adaptor

[@ella-chan246]

thank you for this, i've been looking for answers all over the net!! by the way does the dvi-d from pc adapter to HDMI tv work when connecting it from the motherboard and not the GPU? Also, does your TV produce the sound or you can only get sound if you connect headphones to your pc? no audio from tv speakers? hmm

[@ZackEberly]

It should still work from mother board to gpu. I get sound in the video but it might be because there is a gpu sound card in my graphics card. Most gpu do have them but a motherboard might not.

[@ella-chan246]

ZackEberly gotcha! thanks a million mate

[@str1der-gaming954]

Should i buy that adapter, I have smart tv that connects with hdmi and i wanna connect it with dvi, cause i heard connecting to dvi port gives more hz refresh rate. Ple tell me what to do cause i am getting more then 100 fps in warzone ( after burner) but my tv showing only 30 to 40 fps and screen i dont know what is that but its make me slow and very hard to see when i move my aim (standing)

[@miigon9117]

DVI signal is literally hdmi-compatible. You could expect most of dvi features still work when converted into hdmi. But if you try to convert a dvi-d signal into vga it won’t work. Only dvi-i can be converted into vga. When converted into hdmi, they both work though

[@yunediaziz7950]

will it run at 75 hz or higher?
