MiniDisplayPort->HDMI With Audio

[glycon]

Can anyone please confirm that audio is transmitted over the MDP and comes out of an HDMI adapter to a TV or A/V receiver on the new MBPs?

A bonus would be to know that 5.1 and/or TrueHD/DTS HD-MA (from a Blu-Ray MKV created using MakeMKV) makes it out of MDP to an A/V receiver via HDMI.

It would be great to get confirmation of this on the 13" and the 15"/17" before I decide whether to order.

Thank you to any early adopters who will check this out for us!

Yes Apple confirmed that audio now comes out of the mdp.

Yes, it's really true.

Hooked my new 13" up to a LCD TV yesterday and it worked flawlessly. Just make sure you go to sound options and select the HDMI as your audio output.

I bought it on Amazon. A cheap, non-apple one and it works fine .

Typically, DVI does not include or pass audio. I say typically because I am aware of one case in which audio is supposedly passed over DVI, that being a DVI Doctor.

Thank you, that's lovely to hear of your direct experience.
