hdcp audio over hdmi help

[mattgmann]

So I picked up an e2160 for $25, and decided to throw together an htpc with spare parts laying around the house.

e2160 (which to my surprise is running@ 3.4ghz, 1.4v, 62c on stock cooler)
p35 ds3l mobo
2gb super talent ddr2 800
palit super+ 1gb 8800gt

My problem is with the 8800gt. It supposedly supports audio over hdmi, but I have less than a clue about how to get it to work. Palit provides nil about it, and it's not like my ati cards in my other rig. There is a 2 pin header on the card, which I suspect may be an spdif input. If so, what cable do I use for this, and what do I connect the other end to? The 2-pin spdif_O on the mobo?

Anyway, I'm lost in the sauce. If someone could point me in the right direction I'd surely appreciate it.

thanks

This article might help a little.

Your Video Card does not support true HDMI audio sadly.
Also DVI can not pass sound, so it you are using a DVI to HDMI adapter you are SOL.

^^ what he said.

does your mobo have S/PDIF audio out? can put that into your stereo...

right now ATI is where it is at for HDMI out via video cards.
