The product is not a Nvidia product...but an Asus product. We also don't have enough information on the card itself. Nor do we have any information on what your sound system is or where you've connected the spdif cable. You've said that one of the cables holes was blocked....but many times that is quite normal. That could be the "key hole" that would prevent one from installing cable in the wrong orientation. It is more than likely a "key hole" since you state there is no wire going to it. So, I would even question if you have the cable installed correctly or even to the correct pin block on your system. > >> So, one needs to ensure the output is configured correctly. >> > > The only relevant configuration I see for sound is under the hardware > tab.
