DVI to HDMI with Audio?
I just built a PC to connect to my TV for viewing videos, playing music, etc. I have a video card in it that has a DVI connection. My TV has a VGA port (I have a DVI to VGA converter) with a 3.5mm audio jack that I am currently using to connect to the TV with.
I want to connect the DVI and 3.5mm audio to an HDMI port on my TV to get better quality. I have looked, but the only option I see are almost $100 (box to convert DVI and 3.5mm audio to HDMI).
Is there a cheaper option I am not thinking of?
@Minnie, I am perfectly aware how to add an HDMI jack to the computer. Most, if not all, newer video cards also support audio over HDMI. I was trying to do things as cheaply as possible with parts I already have. Your "answer" was not constructive at all and offered no help whatsoever. Think about that next time you post...

- DVI-D to hdmi cables do not carry audio, they only carry video.
and
- You can also get either a s/pdif coaxial or s/pdif optical (or R/W stereo audio or that 3.5 audio) cables for audio.
A converter is necessary is the tv does not have any of those audio inputs to match the outputs on the computer.
