[HDMI] audio not woking 24 weeks 5 days ago

The computer I'm buying only has HDMI. My display has DVI and Displayport.

Will I be able to hook them up using an "HDMI to Displayport" converter cable in Ubuntu 12.04?

The videocard is IntelHD 4000.

I could potentially have a lot of use for the video out on this phone, like I did on my triumph, but my situation is that right now I only have a projector as my main screen and it only has VGA inputs.

I connect my pc to it by using a small DVI to HDMI adapter, but it only works becuase my videocard supports passing thru the vga signal over the DVI cable.
