I know this was possible on PS3 but was wandering (have looked in settings but no luck yet) to use the HDMI for just video and the standard red and white cables for just the audio? BTW reason i ask is bc i use a PC monitor to play Wii U in my room and my surround sound doesnt have hdmi (its a bit dated).

I don't believe the system supports multi-out.

Yeah, no. This would also help me, as I have an earlier (but fantastic, they dont build em like they used too.) plasma, and it has dvi instead of hdmi (which doesnt carry audio, only video). So it would ve great for me, too.

We need similar solutions, a
15-30 dollar connector with analog audio outs. For me, hdmi to dvi, for you, hdmi to hdmi.

3Dude, if your plasma has component and you're willing to go that route, there's always this:

Well im already using the wiis component cables.

I do want the digital video provided by hdmi/dvi, its just, dvi only carries video, not sound.

Yeah I figured as much; sadly I couldn't find an HDMI to DVI converter with an analog RCAs for ya, at least through Monoprice anyways. I've seen ones on other sites with Toslink, but they are REALLY expensive at over $200. If anything comes up I'll definitely keep you posted.

Does your PC monitor have component inputs ?

Found a way around this for the time being, using a male audio cable plugged into the headphone jack of the gamepad running to my surround sound, and still using the hdmi to my monitor, i has sound :) though i will find a more permanent solution to this later on if i find myself moving around more with the gamepad.
