Help EVO HDMI questions

I just received the micro HDMI and connected it to my system. I also connected a 1/8th" stereo to RCA cable because my surround sound isnt smart enough to decode the audio signal from the HDMI. I set the inputs and the first thing I see is that there is no picture. Rather, the picture is black (the no input warning goes away, and there is a black screen) and the only time I get any video is when I play a video or slideshow. But no audio as long as I am playing video.

Is there any way to output the audio through the headphone jack while the HDMI is outputting video? And is there a way to view the UI and apps through the HDMI port?

I am pretty sure that the audio is diverted to the HDMI port but I will try and test it out on mine tomorrow

You can not view anything but slideshows and video played through the stock player. Developers are working on a way to display everything but it has not been done

use the search function to read more on the HDMI ...just search "HDMI" and there is plenty to read
