NVIDIA Control Panel™ Features:
Configuring HDMI for Audio Output (Select Models only):
Connecting your HDTV via HDMI allows you to output both digital audio and video from your graphics card through 
a single cable. Connecting through intermediary devices such as hubs or receivers is not recommended.
If you are connecting to your display over HDMI and have attached the SPDIF cable for audio output (refer to the 
illustrations below for instructions on connecting the SPDIF cable), you need to set the SPDIF output to be your 
default audio device. The SPDIF cable may be connected to a SPDIF header on a motherboard or sound card.
Certain graphics cards with onboard HDMI ports may not require a SPDIF cable for audio output.
Regardless of whether you use a SPDIF cable or not to pass audio through the graphics card, you will need to 
configure the Windows sound output. Select Start, Control Panel, Sound. On the Playback tab, select the SPDIF/
HDMI output device and select Set Default.
Windows XP may require additional driver support. Please consult your motherboard or sound card documentation 
for additional information.
