No, your video card is not the main problem.  Although it's hard to
see the S/PDIF input on the fuzzy picture, the specifications list
that the card came with an S/PDIF cable, it's reasonable to assume it
has one.

The main problem is your motherboard.  It doesn't have an S/PDIF
output.  Unless you want to swap it out or your video card, your only
option is to add an inexpensive audio card with an S/PDIF output.  If
you don't happen to have such an audio card lying around, your best
option is to go with a new video card (GT 430 or later).
