I have a 20m HDMI cable with which I want to connect my PC(bedroom) to my LCD(in drawing room). Will this cable be able to carry the signal to my LCD without any disturbance? i have not tried connecting this yet as my LCD will arrive next month. Also I would like to know if the sound from my PC will be carried through the cable to the LCD. The LCD that I will be getting is a Sony Bravia W series 46" and my graphic card is a Geforce 9600 GT. Thanks in advance!

Yes the cable should be fine. You can get the audio down the cable with a 9600GT and you should have some sort of HDMI to DVI and audio converter included with the card which you will need to connect to the DVI port.There will also be a cable to connect your graphics card to the originating sound source i.e. your sound card.

It seems that connect my graphic card to my sound card through SPDIF for transmitting the sound through HDMI cable. Now I have a new problem. How to I get the audio from my TV to my receiver?

Do you have any audio outputs? If not perhaps something to split the audio and video again at the other end? Maybe something like http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HDMI-DUAL-AUDIO-VIDEO-SPLITTER-CABLE-ADAPTER-HDTV-TV-LC_W0QQitemZ300291822815QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item300291822815&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1683|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318 but don't quote me on whether it will work with your particular set up, just throwing ideas out there.

Does the SPDIF Out from my HDTV help in any way?

Depending on the settings on the TV it might do. You will need to know if you can choose where your sound gets outputted, either through speakers or the SPDIF.
