Hey!
My Hardware:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo (e8400 I think)
Mobo: Asus P5K
Sound Card: SB Audigy LS
Video Card: and a choice of 2 - a fanless Radeon 2600 XT and a Radeon 4870. Both have DVI output.
I have a DVI to HDMI cable to connect them to my surround receiver.
Whenever I connect the DVI/HDMI cable, it says the cable is unplugged in the audio devices in Windows 7, but the video signal is showing up on my TV. I tried both video cards, I tried installing windows 7 on a clean HDD. Also spent hours playing around with various drivers versions.
Is there a hardware requirement to pass the audio through the HDMI receiver? The specs for the 2600XT and 4870 both say they support it, but I can't get it to work. My ultimate goal is to play movies with DTS sound through my receiver (it works for a laptop I have with HDMI output).
Any thoughts?
