Your can use a HDMI-HDMI-Cable if your grafic card has a hdmi-port.
Otherwise you use the DVI-HDMI adapter or a DVI-HDMI cable.

With the first and second solution the transport of audio data with hdmi is possible if you use a digital audio cable from your sound card/motherboard to the grafic card.
(Because NVidia has native sound support only since GTX4xx)

With the third solution or without this sound cable you only have video.

PS: You only can use stereo or the native AC3/DTS-Audio with a maximum bitrate of 640kBit/s.
Multichannel audio is only possible with a DolbyDigital Live chip. (or DTS Connect)

No matter which cable to buy. You can buy cables for 120€ or you can buy cables for 20€.
Either the signal arrives at the tv or the signal does not.

The expensive cables have only one advantage:

Higher Marketing Budgets!
