[QUOTE="bsunders, post: 661988, member: 100981"] Hi, Have spent a few days reading up on this. I have a Nvidia GT210 card with dvi and HDMI outputs. My Sony Bravia TV has VGA + stereo jack input AND HDMI input. Before I bought the card, I ran VGA from PC to TV and stereo to stereo, which meant I could change volume and get decent res. With the new card, I already had HDMI cable so I connected the PC to the TV via HDMI-HDMI. Picture is great, and audio comes through. [COLOR="DarkRed"]The issue is that the VOLUME IS FIXED to the PC (and hence to MP) - I can only change via the TV remote. This may seem trivial - but I hate to have to carry two remotes where ever I go to watch.[/COLOR] According to Mr Google et al. the TV reports to the PC that the audio is being handled (by the TV via HDMI) and so PC sound control is disabled - AND the jack to jack no longer works - and this is expected behaviour. NVIDIA gfx card control pannel has a "disable audio" setting in the HDMI settings, but when I do this, the jack to jack does not work - despite me setting default sound device to be Realtek (stereo jack). QUESTION TIME =============== Is there a way to disable audio of the HDMI connection and get the PC to use jacks? I suppose I could go and buy a DVI to VGA cable ($$) and then use the jack to jack for sound. Or is there another way? regards Ben [/QUOTE]
