The most common use case was for projector setups. I was just in a Hilton resort whose structured wiring was still sending VGA to their projectora, but they were hanging HDMI to VGA adapters inside the conference desk (not significantly different from the adapters in this deal) to enable connectivity now that HDMI is near universal.

Early on I recall keeping VGA to HDMI adapters for those conference setups which had been built with HDMI structures wiring in case some road warrior came in ready to toss their presentation up on the screen with VGA.

Good luck!

No. I have a super cheap version of this I bought years ago. No cable. It has audio out. I bought it specifically to use with a Chromecast in order to extract audio. This was cheaper than buying a standalone HDMI audio extractor. I needed to short 2 pins on the VGA connection in order for it to work.

So a second gen Chromecast had enough juice to power it up.
Shorting two pin's on the adapter's VGA connector MAY cause problems with other devices. It may work just fine with Chromecast, but it can cause problems with other devices.

The amount of power on HDMI output ports will vary between devices. Including an external power source with the adapter is just good engineering to avoid potential problems.

I have bought a few of these adapters over the years. The ones that do not include a power cable, as part of its design, tend to have more compatibility problems and require some ad-hoc rigging to work with the intended device.

That may be. Shorting the VGA pins was really for my specific case. Obviously you wouldn't do that if you actually need the VGA signal. I was making a Chromecast Audio but with better support. In any case, this cable really should have an audio out if you are connecting it to anything other than a computer and want sound.
