Yes, HDMI carries sound, the only time you need to worry about a separate sound source is if you want to connect the other side of the HDMI cable to a computer monitor that only takes picture.

Not true.  If your surround sound system does not have HDMI, then you will need an adapter to get surround sound, and use HDMI.
