8800GT HDMI sound
Hey folks. I justupgraded from an ATI HD2600 to the 8800GT Nvidia
card. I'm loving the graphics, but one thing has me wondering.. When I set up my ATI card, I had Digital Audio drivers to install so my HDMI cable could carry sound and video to my plasma on the one cable. I have the 8800 installed now, but i'm not seeing an Audio device in my device manager.. am i gonna have to run the sound of of my onboard sound card? analog? If i am i'll be going back to the 2600. i have looked for drivers, or software.... i'm not finding anything.

The 8800GT is a gaming card, while the HD2600 is more a media center card. I'm wondering when you bought the 8800GT didn't you check to see if it supported HDMI since it's important to you? JLC

8800GT HDMI sound
The Nvidia's do not support HDMI sound..
The ATI HD2xxx do and the ATI 38xx models do natively, but they are also limited -- they do not support bitstream sound on HDMI and do not support the new HD codecs like TrueHD, DTS- HD etc. there is no shipping PC solution for this yet. I have an ATI 3870 and easily got HDMI sound to work, but quickly when back to the SPDIF out from my mother board for non PCM outout to my receiver for DD, DTS etc. -- the sound is much better on the SPDIF I expect I will try the auzentech X-prelude and X-tension setup for an HDMI solution with full bitstream if reviews says it works this is expected 2 or 3 quarter of the year The auzentech is suppose to with the ATI or Nvidia cards to overlay the audio in the HDMI stream in a HDMI 1.3 compliant way.... meeting all the HDCP requirements, etc. "Handmade" wrote in message ...

It'll do HDMI video without problem -- I expect most of the 8800gt models
support HDCP fro the video piece, but as noted they will not do audio on the this HDMI on their own.. "JLC" jc@nospam wrote in message . .. "Handmade" wrote in message ... Hey folks.

JLC I did check it says in the box here... "nvidia Purevideo HD technology" As it says "Pure VIDEO HD technology" It comes with a component cable dongle so you can output a HD signal, but that's not true HDMI support. ATI is much better when it comes to outputting video signals. I myself upgraded from an ATI card to the 8800GT and found Nvidia's TV support really lacking compared to ATI. JLC
