NVIDIA GeForce 8800M GTX/9800M GT Video Cards HDMI Audio Support
Note that NVIDIA GeForce 8800M GTX/9800M GT video cards do not support High Defini-
tion Audio through HDMI. When connecting these video cards to an external display (using
an HDMI cable), it is recommended that you use a third party video application (e.g Power
DVD) that provides appropriate audio decoding to play DVD’s etc. Alternatively you can out-
put audio through an alternative source to the HDMI connection.
