Hi all,

I have the GeForce 9800 GTX+ running on WinXP Pro x64Bit. My problem is I get the HDMI output to my 40" Sony TV and all looks great, but I can't get sound with it? Any ideas out there if this is possible? I read somewhere that all 9xxx series cards does support this function, but how???? Help please?

Its a two pin SPDIF connection that is on the side of the card. You would need a digital SPDIF sound cable to attach to the card and then to the motherboard, provided the motherboard has the same connection type which most don't.

I own this card also but am using audio supplied from my X-fi sound card instead.

Gotta hand it to ATI for making their audio over HDMI solution better than Nvidia's!!

You are right about ATI mate! nVidia slipped up big time with this one!
I will give it a go, I'm running the ASUS P5N32 - E SLi Plus Motherboard with the GeForce 680 chipset. It comes with a little small soundcard so hopefully it does support this SPDIF?
