New MBA Sound over Mini-DP to HDMI?

[cfedu]

I have ordered 3 from this guy.

Audio works, the cable is nicer then the monoprice ones, and others I have seen.

It even has a nice apple knock off package

best part is the price. It took about 2 weeks to arrive so if your in a hurry find another place.

Is the sound stereo or multichannel ?

That says Mini Display Port to Display Port though? Or are you just saying it's a good seller? I was reading about the thread's focus on MDP to HDMI with Audio.

ok- uk buyers this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/DisplayPort-Adapter-Converter-Cablesson®-Unibody/dp/B002WSM2N6

works with audio.

have tested on two Samsung large screen tv's, i get sound and air 11 manages 1080p res, vlc, youtube 1080p vids fine, around 60-70% free cpu when streaming vid.

i read somewhere on these forums the air 11 couldn't stream 1080p youtube, nonsense (using Safari and latest flash plugin).

I'm sorry , I bought from this guy before. It looks like he does not have the MDP to HDMI anymore. I just searched not reading the description

So the new airs support multichannel audio over hdmi? The chat guy at the apple store said no audio at all.

Do you have a link to the one you bought?

Could someone, who actually tested it themselves, confirm this?!

If so, I'm selling my Mac Mini and ordering a 13" MacBook Air today! Major thanx.
