ASUS EN9400GT/DI/1G (LP) GeForce 9400 GT 1GB 128-bit GDDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Low Profile Ready You also have the report from lspci.

This is very plain in my first post: "The plug had a molding problem and one of the 4 holes was blocked. (The hole was just empty: no wire going to it.) I opened it with a pin, installed it with the arrow facing the closest part of the motherboard, reversed it, and, of course, sound doesn't come out of the TV." http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/users/2010-January/364853.html > or where you've > connected the spdif cable.

The s/pdif out plug has 4 pins. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
