I connected a TV set to an HDMI connector on my sound card. There is video output, but no sound.
---- I would say it depends on how your TV presents itself. I have one of my NVIDIA ports hooked up to the HDMI input of my home receiver (called a home theater unit now), that handles siwtching between devices -- it has a TV out -- to my flat screen. Anyway, the Nvidia has always detected a video display through it (but always PNP)...latest drivers and card detect the audio system as a 8 channel output device -- it's not in my kernel or driver -- but in the device -- it splits the sound off and send the video signal on. Wasn't until latest set of drivers with newer graphics card that it could detect the digital audio channel through HDML.... My card is a GTX590... (drives up to 4 displays) and several digital audio output devices are associated with it -- probably one for each video port. Of course I'm running it under Windows...so who knows what would happen under linux... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Your video card must have an audio input from your sound card, or from the mobo if the sound is on the mobo. I believe the mobo output is called SPDIF. Many older video cards have no such input, and therefor there will be no sound on the HDMI line coming out of it. (Yes, I learned this the hard way! My video card does not have such an input.) --doug -- Blessed are the peacemakers...for they shall be shot at from both sides. --A. M.
