Well the new 2010 MBPs support audio though their Mini Display Ports, meaning you can get an HDMI adaptor for your 2010 MBP that does both audio and video through the HDMI cable.

The catch is that the adaptor needs to support this feature. The Griffin Adaptor on Apple's webpage does not in fact support this feature (lame) nor does the popular monoprice adaptor (as it so clearly says on their website).

Does anyone know of an adaptor that does?

This one supposedly does:

New HDMI adapters arrive for new, old MacBook Pros | MacNN

I'm going to try to pick one of these up myself today.

WixOSX, let me know how it works out.

I'm living at home again (going back to school) and my parents finally replaced their 1988 30 inch TV with a nice big digital Sony 42in LCD TV. Sooooooooo I've got a hankering to plug in my new MBP into said 42inch TV.

If for nothing else than the fact that I want to see zerglings the size of my fist hop across the screen.

**** The Dr. Bot HDMI adaptor is currently sold out. Super lame. The other option listed on that link had USB audio, which I don't want. Just strait HDMI love.

I found this one on newegg.com, it appears to support audio...

Newegg.com - BYTECC AP-MIDPHDMI-005 Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter

If someone knows of one that 'works' let me know. I don't want to spend money on something and then go through the trouble of having to send it back.
