Hello to both of you!

Christian, is there any change to get HDMI audio out of my 2 x Dual-Link 
DVI RV730 AGP ports with one of those adapters (were can I get one) or 
is the poor little one which came with the gfx card (SAPPHIRE HD 4650 
1GB DDR2 AGP) enough?

Thanks,
    Dieter

PS Rafał, with the right solution I can maybe help you with your 
investigation ;-)
