Question 1

Does this take care of audio too, or do I need additional cables?

Accepted Answer

I bought a few of these solely for the video, so I don't have experience with audio on these devices.  The StarTech website does show in the technical specifications that this specific model does support stereo audio.

Question 2

Our LG lost it's HDMI capability.  We can use the USB 2.0 ports.  
1. Will the video quality be impaired?  (I see remarks below to indicate this may be the case.)
2. Will it also deliver reasonable audio quality?
3. Will it work with a Roku?

Accepted Answer

It only works on computers
It adds hdmi to a pc not to a tv

Question 3

Can you use two on the same system?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I have used four on the same computer but just keep in mind your CPU utilization will go up due to all the monitor refreshes. Otherwise, works great. We use them at trade shows.
