Desire - Get audio through my 8800GTS HDMI.
Found - Need to SPDIF to the 2-pin on the GraphicsCard.
Trouble Spot: Mobo is Dell - So no pins on mobo. HOWEVER, there are two spdif OUT connection off the back panel. Optical and RCA are available.

Spent about 3 hours searching around and have come to this conclusion:
Need a cable to go from Out (RCA or Optical) to In (2-pin on 8800GTS).

QUESTION:
Where would I find this cable?
Has anyone heard of this?

There is a post here that gives me hope. From user "luv2chill" halfway down the page.


Please help.

Shoruk.

A quick search leads me to believe that no one really sells a coaxial S/PDIF to 2-pin molex cable.

The simple answer is just run a S/PDIF from your computer to whatever input source you want to use.

But, if that isn't an option, make the cable yourself. Split the coaxial cable and connect it to a 2-pin molex.
