HDMI Audio Support
Note that some NVIDIA video card models DO NOT sup-
port High Definition Audio t hrough HDMI . When connect-
ing 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 appro-
priate audio decodi ng to play DVD’s etc. Altern atively you
can output audio through an alternative source to the
HDMI connection.
