Two things: How do you redirect audio to SPDIF (whatever that is) output? (See note below about both outputs.)

I'm aware that Nouvou doesn't support all the features of the card, and is usually deprecated except by open-source fanatics. I would not want sound ONLY from HDMI--I want it always to come out BOTH sound processors--the one on the mobo for local use on my desk, and the other for the TV when I have it switched to HDMI1. (When it's not switched to the computer, the sound just will not be heard on that channel.) Maybe I'm asking for something that can't be done, I don't know. In XP, I've run the NVidia software, and now the sound ONLY comes out the TV. It doesn't matter, because I only use XP for TV output anyway.
