Marc,

  Glad to hear things are working.  Good catch on the realtek driver. I'm
stuck using HDMI on the TV I'm using now, but I'm considering another Zotac
for my media room (where I'll need spdif).

For what it's worth, I didn't get HDMI working until I enabled "both" in the
zotac BIOS.  For some reason, if I selected only the NVIDIA HDA in the BIOS,
I didn't get any sound over HDMI. Selecting 'Both' works fine though.
