HDMI Audio Support
Note that some NVIDIA video card models DO NOT support High Definition Audio through
HDMI. When connecting 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
appropriate audio decoding to play DVDs etc. Alternatively you can output audio through an
alternative source to the HDMI connection.
