DETAILS ON MY ISSUE

This is how my setup is currently. PC>>Audio Sound Bar with multiple inputs/outputs>>TV

My PC only has a DVI out for video and Optical for audio. I got an DVI to HDMI cable and I plugged it into my sound bar and I also got an optical cable going to my soundbar. Now when I select the correct input (its set to DVD) I can only get video. Its like the soundbar will only allow the audio or the video to come through. I have unplugged the hdmi and the audio comes in fine. I have also tried to put the audio on one input and the HDMI on another but obviously that doesn't solve my issue either because you cant pick more than one input.

How do you connect dvi PC output to lcd dvi input?

You will need a DVI cable. Note that DVI can be a digital signal, an analog signal or both. Look in the manuals the see which the computer and monitor support. It is normally digital, which might be referred to as DVI-D. If analog is supported, it will be called a DVI-A. A DVI connection that carries both will be called a DVI-I. If you find you have a choice, use the digital signal rather than the analog.

How do you display video on a philips tv using a HDMI to dvi cable that's connected to the pc via a dvi to vga adapter?

You cannot connect a HDMI to a VGA video output on a computer. VGA is an analog signal and the DVI adapter connects it to the analog pins on the DVI cable (a DVI-I cable has both analog and digital pins). A HDMI to DVI cable connects to the cable's digital pins, therefore, no connection is being made. The easiest way to do this is to upgrade your computer's video card to one with a HDMI output. These can be purchased for less than $50.00, and will allow you to connect your computer to your TV with one cable and no adapters.
