Not necessarily. It does not follow that sound will go with the video.
In Windows it did not--don't know if in Win10 it does, and in Linux,
depends on the version of Pulse Audio and how lucky you are to find the
combination of many possibilities. (Works well in Mint 17.3 LTS. Could
not get it to work in latest version of PCLOS.)

I'm trying to long-distance-coach a tech-challenged friend on
using his Samsung SmartTV's web browser to view content his Cable
TV service doesn't carry. (This is not trying to get around stuff
without paying--the content, out of area sports, FWIW, is freely
available to watch on his PC.)
When he tries to access the content with the Samsung-embedded
browser, he gets an immediate prompt to upgrade Flash. Following
the offered links allows access to what is labeled as "Linux" rpm
and/or tgz versions, neither of which will install on the TV. So,
the content won't load.
While I've suggest he do a general upgrade of the TV firmware, in
hopes there's a usable Flash upgrade included, I'm thinking of
pointing him in a different direction--say, a ChromeCast.
Any other suggestions? Thanks.
