have you connected the small S/PDIF cable from your internal sound card header to your graphics card?

should look like this :

there will be a small rubber cover over it, should be near the back of the card.

okay i will whip he side panel of nd have a look .... There isn't anything but on the PCB there is a connector witch looks like its an extra and would need to be soldered on :S as u get the out line of a small fan like connector labelled J9

there is also another one tht looks lie the old audio cable from the cd drive directly to the motherboard type of cable but thats also just an outline printer on the pcb


any ideas

Apologies, just had a quick read though, you don't need to have an S/PDIF cable for it to work, you just need to enable the audio through the sound controller, find your sound icon on the notification bar and right click it, select playback devices and see if it says HDMI audio or something similar, see if it is enabled, if not, enable it by right clicking it and enable.
