Just so you or others don't lose any sleep, but after reading it you may, it all stems from a Monty Python ref here.

farting is the first of three phases of getting a feel of my ego. if you want the second phase open a thread, I'll enter and explain it.

You could try removing the metal bracket on the end of the video card and use a small knife or small needle nose pliers and maybe you could work the connector out.

Otherwise if your card is going to be unused, you could sell it at a discount to a buyer that doesn't need HDMI and state that HDMI is blocked. Many only use the DVI port anyways and don't care about HDMI.

I hate Sapphire RMA. I'm in Canada and dealt with Althon Micro in California years ago when my 9800SE 128MB 256-bit died. Had to pay both way shipping and I wrote in the e-mail, the RMA paperwork and a piece of paper attached to the dead card that I want a 256-bit model back, not the 128-bit model.

Low and behold, I got the 128-bit model back. I had to ship it back on my cost and they paid for shipping the correct 256-bit model back to me. Just retired it and it's sitting here on my desk at work right now.

I was lucky that my company had a PO box in the US and we regular shipped / received from that box. Saved me a bit of shipping money.

I swear I will never buy a new Sapphire card again.

So the end result is im not shipping it back, obviously.

So im wondering if any of you know, if i use a DVI to HDMI cable will that carry the audio signal from the card to my TV? I know most cards that have audio will do this but since this card actually has a HDMI port do you think they wired audio into the DVI as well?
