          I don't think the product you linked to would stream audio. In fact, I wasn't aware of any DVI to HDMI cables or adapters that could stream audio? Or vice versa, HDMI to DVI cable carrying sound?

              I stand corrected... taken from the Wikipedia page:

              DVI to HDMI

              DVI is mostly compatible with HDMI (see Compatibility with DVI). The main difference is that DVI typically carries no audio data in its TMDS channel, although increasingly, modern PC video hardware is providing audio (e.g. cards by NVIDIA and ATI), allowing the PC to send audiovisual data to a high definition television with an HDMI input. If a PC's DVI output does not provide audio, it can be patched in as part of the DVI to HDMI adapter.

              Well I may have learned something new here today!
