I tried using an HDMI adapter (the kind you is find on these tiny USB C hubs to bring along your laptop) for playing proper video and the sound was missing everything under like 200hz, unwatchable. It’s clearly made to show spreadsheets and PowerPoints and not much else.

The output is capped at 4k 30hz on the cheaper ones, and I assume the cheaper ones wouldn’t have particularly good audio.

HDMI still has the edge over all but the very latest version of USB C, at least with high end equipment. But, it works fine for PowerPoint, which is exactly what I’m using it for.

Quick question: USB-C docks with HDMI have their iwn DAC for audio while video gets passed through?

lime!

doesn’t hdmi send digital audio?

That’s a good time to change manufacturers.

Aye I know, I work in IT, I’m just saying maybe routers should have USB C ports and just ditch Ethernet altogether

Which is a great approach IMO. The advantages of dongles without the inconvenience. The Framework 16 has 6 ports which is more than enough for me. I use two USB-C, two USB-A, headphone, and SD card. I sometimes swap the SD card slot for MicroSD, and one of the USB-C for Ethernet. I have HDMI and DisplayPort for if I need them.

USB-C supports both digital and analog audio. HDMI only supports digital audio though, so in that case the DAC would be in whatever device you’re plugging the HDMI cable into.

Hm. Might depend on the hub or cable type. I’m able to get 2560x1440 or (not and) 120hz refresh rate on my HDMI connection. And that limitation seems to come from my laptop GPU.

That sounds bad. Can’t I just subscribe to have them provided for $9.99/mo each? Sounds much better.
