No Sound with AGP HDMI Video Card through HDMI Connection

[boyhsu]

Hi guys,

I connect my PC to HDTV through HDMI cable. I just bought an Asus AH3450 AGP video card that supports HDMI. After googling for long, i realized AGP card does not have Realtek sound chip built in, whereas the PCI-E card does. (My mother board does not support PCI-E video card, sigh)

I tried connect my PC to TV using the HDMI cable and also use the RCA (red and white cable) to 3.5mm cable to connect to the normal sound input (where you would connect your speaker to), but no luck....still no sound. I thought this should work, but not sure why it didn't work?

does anyone have any idea? or any alternate way to get the sound from my PC to TV? Thanks in advanced guys!

At least one of the HDMI ports on your HDTV has the option to accept stereo
sound using R&W cable. You may have to change a setting on the TV to tell
it to use the R&W connection associated with the HDMI connection instead of
using the HDMI audio. Your HDTV user's manual should have the details on
how to set it up and connect it on both ends.
