I believe the 9300 is one of the only GPUs by NVidia to not pass audio thru the HDMI port, sadly.
Specs:
Computer: HP Pavilion model M9517C
NVIDIA GeForce 9300 GE Video Card. Has built in HDMI out
RealTek HighDef Audio Sound Card.
Windows Vista Home 64 bit.
TV:
Samsung LCD TV model:LN-T4671F
Receiver:
Samsung HW-C700B
Issue:
I'm getting great picture quality. I'm NOT getting any sound to come out of either the TV or the Receiver. I've tried changing inputs on the receiver. I've tried the computer to TV direct (bypassing the receiver). I've tried all control panel settings I can think of, including making sure the HDMI is set as the default, going through the NVIDIA settings, etc. Please Help!
