Explanation

DVI-D (Digital Visual Interface - Digital) carries only a digital video signal. It does not transmit audio. DVI-A carries an analog video signal, and DVI-I carries both analog and digital video, but DVI-D is purely digital video. Because it carries no audio signal, it cannot deliver audio only or audio combined with video. It also cannot deliver an analog signal - that is the role of DVI-A or VGA.
