So I have a BenQ 2420Z, and a NVIDIA GeForce 770 graphics card.
Currently, I have a dual link DVI from the graphics card to my monitor with 1920x1080 @144hz.
My monitor has an audio in/out port, but since I have a DVI hooking it up, there is no audio transfer. I know that HDMI does sound as well, but I have heard that some very ranged statistics about what refresh rate and resolution HDMI supports. I am pretty sure that with newer HDMI this isn't a problem, but I am just seeking clarification.
Can I play at my current display settings and have audio in/out with an HDMI, or is there a different way to get sound through this particular monitor?

u don't have a 1/8in (headphone size) audio jack? Most monitors have it at the back. All you need is a male to male 1/8in cable and youre set. something like this: http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=102&cp_id=10218&cs_id=1021802&p_id=644&seq=1&format=2

When you bought the monitor, didn't they give you the HDMI cable with it? I have a XL2411T, for me the HDMI cable is an absolute failure as far as resolutions go, no idea with sound.

HDMI 2.0 doesn't support 144hz@1080p

if you really want audio you can drop down to 120hz and HDMI should work, but why would you want to use that audio port? just use the one on your mobo to plug in your headphones or whatever

Because its in a pretty inconvenient spot for my to plug my headphones in, and the audio in/out ports are separate, so I need a separate mic, which I don't have, or some sort of audio splitter for me to use my headphone mic and audio at the same time. From the HDMI info I have, it seems like the splitter would be the best option though.

afaik that port on the xl2420z is only audio out, so you could only use it with headphones and not a mic. i doubt 770 supports audio in anyways

You could use displayport. Full 144hz @ 1080p along with audio. Its how I get my audio to my Asus VG248QE but it sounds really crappy.
