Do any of you early adopters happen to have 2 HDMI devices with audio capabilities? I tried to use 2 XFX DVI->HDMI adaptors on my 4890 to connect both my TVs (the Sharp in my sig that I'm using as a monitor and a 46" Sammy in clone mode) but I can only get sound out of one of them (only the 46" Sammy even if the Sammy is off; if I install the Sharp first, then only the Sharp even if only the Sammy is on.) I've been told it's simply like that with the 4890. Does the 5870/5850 allow what I'd like to do if I use one of these adaptors on the DVI port? Is there maybe some whacky Displayport->HDMI that could maybe?
I basically want a solution where both TVs can output the same sound (I heard splitters might not work) as the HDMI sound from the video card is good enough for me. If the 5870/5850 can do this right, I won't need a sound card (onboard sucks!) and could justify grabbing one. Thanks!
