Why audio-signal HDMI-VGA adapters are necessary
An array of HDMI to VGA adapters with audio are available for transferring digital video signals from HDMI, DVI, and DisplayPort™ devices to analog-signal Video Graphics Array (VGA) monitors and projectors. Many of these VGA adapters only carry video, and not digital audio through the cable. Enabling digital audio in analog VGA displays and projectors requires an audio converter.
HDMI, DVI, and DisplayPort are output ports on digital devices. HDMI ports are found on HD TVs and laptops, and mini-HDMI ports on Ultrabooks™, Chromebooks, and other notebooks and tablets. HDMI outputs transfer digital hi-def video and hi-def audio signals. Professionals who prepare presentations on these devices may need to display their work on, or with, VGA screens and projectors in the office. HDMI and micro-HDMI to VGA adapters with audio enable them to do so. Users at home may want the HDMI-VGA digital adapter to connect their device to larger VGA monitors, or to use multiple monitors simultaneously.
Types of HDMI-VGA converter configurations
Hundreds of audio/video cables are available for transferring digital or analog signals between output and input devices. Each has a specific End-1 output and End-2 input connection configuration. HDMI to VGA with audio adapters contain audio converters, either cartridge-style straight-connectors, or converter boxes wired with a cable. The End-1 output is a standard or micro male HDMI connector, and the End-2 input is a female VGA connector, either 15-pin or 19-pin, depending on the model. Straight and box converters contain a female audio port that accepts a standard 3.5 mm audio cable, which passes the signal through to the VGA’s female audio port. The HDMI-VGA digital-analog audio converters can transfer 2-channel stereo sound, and some can add a subwoofer signal for 2.1 stereo sound.
