Check in the bios.I guess I don't know if the inboard audio is enabled and the drivers are installed? How can i tell?
If it is disabled then you won't get anything out of the onboard SPDIF header.For some reason I remember having to disable the onboard to make my turtle beach card work
Hmm seems that since it's only hooked up to my tv via HDMI, I get "No Signal" until the windows user login appears.
I'm going to need to hook up another monitor and might not able to until tomorrow. Damn it.
Open the Windows Sound properties and set whichever of the two you want to use at the time as default.

For the most part only if the program(s) you are using allow for using a sound device other than the Windows default. Other than that no, as Windows only allows one audio device to be default/used at a time.
Try going to the control panel and click on your sound options. Click manage sounds or what ever. Look for the monitor or tv the HDMI cable is going into. then click set default. After you are done using the HDMI just switch it back.
Hmm the only time I would want the 5.1 and the tv playing at the same time is during a movie.
But I've also been told that running them at the same time can create an echo and it would t sound right? Is there any truth behind this?
What movie programs would allow more than just the windows default single setting?
