HDMI audio on Nvidia cards?

[Erazor51]

Does anyone know if the audio output via HDMI on Nvidia cards work the same way as the AMD cards? I have a 290x that does bitstreaming audio so my receiver will display DTS Master audio, Dolby TrueHd etc when the content is sent through and for games and everything else i get 5.1 PCM audio. Is this the same for Nvidia equivalent?


Thanks

I'm not sure what you're asking. Do the Nvidia cards bitstream DTS-HD/Tru-HD/DD+,etc for media over HDMI like Blu-Ray, .MKVs, etc? Yes. It also will pass thru multichannel audio for gaming over HDMI- it supports as many channels as you have.

It's the same. I switched from AMD to nvidia and just plugged in the HDMI and it works.

HDMI works awesome on Nvidia cards.

Unless you have an old NVidia 9600 GSO like me - then you'll need to use some kind of digital audio cable to couple the digital output sound from the motherthoard onto a connector on the card, then the card should pass that audio to its HDMI output.
