The catalyst drivers install the audio drivers for your Vid Card, so you should just be able to plug it into your display device and hear sound.

yeah just have to enable the sound in your sound options from Control Panel

You need to plug the HDMI cable into your receiver for surround sound.

 

[mosfet429546]

so i need a audio reciever that has a hdmi input in it
is there any way that i can use something like adapter to use the hdmi for 3.1mm jack

where are you hooking up your sound to? TV, stereo, or receiver? If you want surround sound (5.1, 7.1) you need a receiver to send the HDMI cable to. But if you're running sound to a TV it's only going to be stereo.

Don't worry about sound from your graphics card if your using a headset just connect the headset via it's 3.5mm TRS connecter to your onboard sound or sound card.

but is there any option for that?

 

[hanselb]

if you are planning on using the surround sound headset for games that support surround sound then you would need to manipulate the setting in the game.

but is there any option for that?

Any option for what?

 

[mosfet429546]

to use hdmi with 3.5mm

 

[whooleo]

There is no HDMI to 3.5mm TRS adapter.
