Just recently bought this mobo and I'm running it with a gtx 260.

On my Previous board, some ancient Asus 1 you need a little internal cable connected to the mobo and the card to allow you to output sound to a TV through a dvi to hdmi adaptor.

On the new board I can't find the corrector header on the mobo (edit: well the 1 I think it is doesn't fit as my connector has a different shaped end), so can only get vid but no sound on my TV.

Here's the current connector on eBay; http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PC-INTERN...onnectors_RL&hash=item19c7a47d23#ht_500wt_922

Any ideas? Do I need a dif cable? is it just not poss?
Thanks in advance.

The connector shown on the picture below would seem to be the one you want.

It's the S/PDIF-Out.

The cable you linked to looks like a 4 pin cable.

If it is you'll need a different cable or just do a bit of modding on the one you have.

Yup the connector is 4 pin. 2 on the left are wired, next over is blocked and 1 on the right is empty. I assume I need to somehow get the 2 wires connected, correct? So would chopping off the blocked and blank pin work?

Alternatively if anyone has a spare 2 pin SPDIF connector, I'll throw you a couple of £s to pop it in the post? :)

Chopping the end off the connector should work as long as the wired pins on the connector match the socket.

 
Thank you! that article looks v.helpful and the pic in it looks just like the slot on my mobo. Think I may have sourced a 2 pin connector from eBay.
