no sound over HDMI on ATI HD4350

[sanderh]

I ve just bought the ATI HD4350 from Asus. This card should have audio support over HDMI. The card has 3 connectors, 1x HDMI, 1x DVI and 1x regular monitor out. I ve connected my projector to the HDMI output and my samsung pc monitor to the monitor output of the 4350.

Installed the lastest ATI driver. When I look into my hardware I can see that something IS installed on my pc. But when I go into sounds I cannot select any audio device. I ve tried everything but cannot get any sound to my receiver.

Is it generally even possible to get stereo sound (play mp3s etc) out of this card or only DD/DTS?

I think I really need some explanation here

Running XP SP3 btw.

nop, because didn t see this on the ATI site. thxz, I ll try it tonight.

James, is it possible to get stereo sound out of the card for playing mp3 etc or is it only for ac3 sound?

edit: Just checked some things and I already DID install it because it was included in the ATI hotfix 8.10 full installation

James, someone on the AVS forum told me that I would need to download the ATI HDMI Audio Device AND
Windows 2000, Windows XP/2003(32/64 bits) Driver only (Executable file) from this http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads...=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false site.

I that correct? Do I need both? If so, in which order do I install them?

thxz again James.

the driver is on the CD that came with the GFX card (directrory is called HD Audio Driver).

if there is no directory, the chances are your card does not support it. I've handled 2 x HD3850 and 2 x HD3650s in the past weeks and one of the HD3850s (from sapphire) didn't support audio over HDMI (it didn't have the drivers on the CD). Installing the driver didn't help, as the hardware was 'missing'.

additionally audio over HDMI is not as straight forward as it should be. I tried 2 different DVI->HDMI cables that didn't work. I had to use the ASUS dongle and HDMI cable to get the audio to work. Then I tried a 17" monitor with DVI and HDTV with HDMI as 'theatre display' audio worked fine. I've changed the 17" monitor to a 10" with VGA (and DVI->VGA adaptor) and no sound again. I gave up in the end and used a 3.5mm jack from the sound card to the HDTV pc-audio in.
