Hello All,
I’m having some issues with trying to get the HDMI audio to work. I can get the HDMI Video to ouput 1080P without any issues.
I can view with the DVI and Analog audio with out any issues, but the HDMI audio part is where I’m stuck.
I even went as far as purchasing the Asus SPDIF module out adapter (Pictured below).

Here are the steps I’ve taken so far…
1. How I have it plugged in… I have the HDMI cable from the TV plugged directly into the HDMI port on the MSI 8500GT video card.
2. From the MSI 8500GT video card, there’s a SPDIF out yellow coax that goes into the Asus SPDIF module out adapter.
3. From the Asus SPDIF module out adapter, I have plugged the supplied cables, and plugged into the SPDIF headers on the Asus motherboard.
4. From Vista Ultimate, I set the audio to “Digital” mode rather than the “Speakers” mode. I still cannot get any sound.
5. I went as far as using my Xbox 360’s HDMI cable which is a known working cable and source. Used that cable and it’s same “input” on the TV. Still no sound!
6. I contacted MSI and they tell me it’s not their problem (of course) and that I contact Asus. I don’t think it’s a defective mobo. More rather it’s an issue with some configuration. Could be either hardware or software. Not sure….
Below are pictures of my motherboard and video card. I am all out of ideas! Any suggestions?
Thank you all in advance.
