its nps now i finally sussed it out with a bit of trial an error , for any1 else that has the same problem on this dell model ........look at the spdif pins from bottom of case upwards.On the left is the 2 pin row and next to it on the right is the 3 pin row ,place the ground cable on the top pin on the 3pin row an the spdif directly below the ground cable for ur sound to work via ur hdmi cable ;)
