Well it's all very odd

Steve, no sign of any audio connectors on this humongous card. Other than the 6 pin auxiliary power input connector giving a meaty 12 v supply and the PCi-E slot there are no connectors other than those on the rear (2 x DVI , 1 x HDMI and 1 x Displayport). The thick paper 'manual' has a single page of English of no relevance essentially just saying plug it in ! The manual on CD has 331 pages and the words 'sound' and 'audio' don't occur at all
John, that sounds a good approach, but my understanding is that the audio is digitally encoded on an HDMI connection - googling "HDMI audio adaptor" I come up with what seem to be just cable adaptors, but presumably the 'far end' needs some intelligence to convert back to analogue audio

The internal speaker features in the list of devices under Device Manager, and under 'properties' says no drivers are loaded, however if I go into the driver part it says that the device is working properly. If I tell it to update the drivers it says that I have the latest ones

The on board audio device says it's working and has the latest drivers. If I disable the Nvidia audio devices then 'Audio Manager' says that there are no audio devices - I was expecting the on board one to spring into life

Why is life so complicated
