Hi,

so a workaround might be to use 3 adaptors or 2 adaptors and a class
compliant USB audio interface.

|Laptop            |   |Adaptor 1              |   |Adaptor 2         |
|       Displayport|---|Displayport--DVI-D male|---|DVI-D female--HDMI|
|                  |                               |                  |
|                  |                               |                  |
|                  |   |Adaptor 3 or USB audio |   |                  |
|  analog audio out|---|analog audio in or USB |   |                  |
|  or USB          |   |             S/PDIF out|---|S/PDIF in         |

It not necessarily is a good workaround ;), but a workaround that
possibly would do the job.
