</div></div></blockquote></div><br>Hi Matt. I'm using the GT240 in MythBuntu with the Synaptic package's driver 185.xxx (?). I went to Nvidia's weg site and when I drilled down to the model number GT240, there were no more-recent drivers listed. I also have a GeForce 9400 on which I'm using driver# 195.xxx (?). Can you tell me which driver you're using with your GT240? Is your audio running through your HDMI output?<br>
<br>Thnaks,<br>Greg<br>
