Rumor has it that the new Macbook Pro Displayport connections support HDMI video and audio.

Has anyone reading this thread hooked up a 2010 Macbook Pro to an HDTV and gotten both video and audio running through the HDMI cable?

I have a mini Display Port to HDMI adapter on order from monoprice, I'll let you know if it does both video and audio - they are claiming that it will if the MDP does, and AFIAK, the 2010 port does?

*NOTE* AUDIO: This adapter will support audio only if your source device allows audio output through the Mini DisplayPorts interface. If you're not sure, please check with the manufacturer or website to confirm if your device allows audio out through the Mini-DP interface.

This is the email that I just received from Monoprice (I had sent them an email because I couldn't get audio to work with their cable and 2010 MBP):

Hello Josh,

I apologize for the inconvenience, but our cables are 1.1 VESA compliant and do not support audio. You need a 1.2 VESA compliant cable in order to pass audio. We currently do not carry any 1.2 VESA compliant cables. Thank you.

If you have any further questions please feel free to contact me.

That blows. I just ordered one the other day. Are they good about refunds?

I just got the exact same response after the cable I ordered did not work.

Not a rumor. It is confirmed to have audio.
