Means that it cannot pass audio through HDMI and you must rely on analog or optical.

I'd recommend getting a cheap ATI Radeon HD 5xxx series card(5670 as an example for around 100$), as it will pass audio and video. Just change the default audio out to the "ATI HDMI Output" and you are pretty well good to go.
Cheers.
