Just to bring closure to this thread (yeah - makes me quesesy just saying it): my friend video card has a DVI interface - but is apprently capable of carrying sounnd - there is a way to strap (SPDIF?) from the MB to 2 pins on the card. I connected the PC to my TV - got the same no sound - disconnected the DVI cable from PC - analog sound is heard. Replaced this card with a different Nvidia - everything worked...<br>
<br>Thanks for the replies - there should be some way of disabling this on the card - but I'll let my friend pursure that.<br>
