If it does, this $15 item is well worth as seems the easiest way out of this.

I believe using that cable you will only get video. The mini-DVI only has video, and I don't think there is a way to "splice" the audio to the HDMI.
You will still need to get audio out somehow.

My older laptop had an HDMI port, but it only supported video out. I had to use a 3.5mm audio cable to the TV. There is an optional 3.5mm input asssoiated with the input where I plugged in that HDMI. Worked ok. My new laptop supports audio/video out. Makes life so much easier.
