Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Thanks PK, that's great advice. As of now, I will probably run the splitters from the speaker side of things. Before dropping down $30 on amazon for the splitters and cables, I wanted to make sure it was the best option.
Thanks everybody for the help and suggestions. Haven't decided which route to take with this.
Very upset with Nvidia, (still never contacted me back, first contacted them March 8th). Don't think I will ever buy anything from them again.... at least not until ATI treats me worse.
I'm searching around for ideas on a decent way to set up my audio for my PC, PS3, AT&T U-verse Cable Box.
Right now I have a 2.1 computer speaker setup that only has a single 3.5mm input jack.
I am looking at $30 in necessary cabling/splitters to accommodate all 3 input devices. Kind of seems...
Thanks Jeremy, I will pick one of those up and give it a try. It will mess up my configuration (HDMI is already being used by another device) but I will try anyways.
Nvidia tech support has been a joke through this entire process. Not a funny joke, either.
Contacted them again today, since it has now been 10 days since I was originally supposed to receive "level 2 tech support" from them.
Speaking with the exact same person I spoke to on March 8...
Hi hhara,
The only sound options in my motherboard BIOS is for "Azalia Audio" and I have that set to [Auto]. There is nothing specific for SPDIF. This thing is really driving me crazy.
My video card doesn't have HDMI out. It has 2 Displayports and a DVI. It's a workstation card which I use it first and foremost for 3D work. It's just frustrating not to be able to work with sound.
Ah, so you think perhaps my display port cable is at fault?
Is there something particular I need to look for in a replacement? All Belkin cables will work or just one with a certain feature?
I really have little experience with DP or HDMI.
Yep, 20 it is.
hmm, as in the hardware itself has some faults in connecting up with DP? The brochure for it claims that it can support passing audio.
I had been under the assumption it was something wrong with the drivers or something related to that since none of the audio settings...
Thanks for replying,
Gnasher - Yes, I learned about that recently, too. I went ahead and plugged in that little cable from the video card to the mobo (SPDIF OUT). Nothing changed after plugging it in. I searched but never found any further instructions that I might have to do after plugging in...
Hi,
I just recently set up a new monitor (Dell U2711) to use also as my tv/playstation gaming setup along with my desktop. (I have speakers hooked up to the monitor and I get great sound from watching tv and playstation)
The PC is hooked up to the monitor with a DisplayPort cable...
Just don't complain about it using the term "tinted" because I believe they may refuse to replace a monitor for tinting issues.
Tell them what you said to us, there is a splotchy yellow area on the screen that is awful distracting.
I nearly let all the negative on forums (not just this one) talk me out of buying the u2711. Purchased it on Monday off Craigs List and I am finding more to love about it each day. To each their own, but there sure are a lot of negative comments with very few positive ones to counter them.
I...
