Same problem, with a possible solution.

liko, welcome to the forums.

Did you remember to connect the SPDIF cable from the SPDIF header on the motherboard,



to the one on the video card,

First of all thanks for the fast reply I really appreciate. I will first check if teh spdif is connected (thank you so much for that image it will make things so easy on me :)). Than I will check the thread as well I really appreciate the help . PS: I fixed the images and made them bigger just incase that helps.

Sorry for the double post. Ok so I saw the SPDIF port, but I don't have the input (the cables). I was seeing and I have the High defintion A/O and the real teak 97. So from this it seems I need SPDIF cable right? If so which one and how does it connect.

Follow the link I posteed above, it shows you where it needs to go.

P.S. With a Nvidia card you can have all the drivers and software in the world installed, but you won't get audio over HDMI without that cable.

I checked it out also it has 3 pins so I need to buy a cable to connect? The reason is I don't seem to have that cable.

Buy one if you can find one, or make one like it shows in that link using a couple of unused front panel case connectors (if you have any that are unused that is).

Thanks for the fast response. I will see what I do I might ask my friend to do it for me he has more experience. Also with that might I be able to finally get sound from computer to tv?

Once you connect the cable from the onboard SPDIF header to the one on the video card and set it to the proper output in the Windows audio controls, yes.

Also forgot to mention, it only needs to be a two wire/pin connection, not three.
