My first message: "I have an NVIDIA 9400GT card." Whether it's an Asus or an MSI, it's always a 9400GT card. Otherwise, you wouldn't know what you're talking about. >> You also have the report from lspci.

What lspci told you is information entered in the card by Asustek. EN9400GT, was in my first message, then I told you it was an Asus. The info you now seem to consider relevant tells you nothing more, except the card has 1GB RAM, cause some have 512 MB. >> lspci told you that. Otherwise, I don't have a sound system.

I'm referring to the arrow on the plug facing this or that side of the motherboard, never a word about a discrete sound card, and you ask if I have a discrete sound card? Besides lspci -v says: Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) Subsystem: Giga-byte Technology Device a022 What would Giga-byte have to do in a discrete audio card? >>> You've said that one of the cables holes was >>> blocked....but many times that is quite normal.

As a matter of fact, if the plugged hole is a "key hole" there > *will* be 4 pins on the out plug! That is the whole (pun intended) purpose. The mobo has 4 male pins -- excuse the pleonasm -- for s/pdif out in a little casing. The plug has 4 female holes, one of which is obstructed. How do you get the plug in if you don't open the plugged hole: a pin will be facing the plugged hole. Ed, I believe you're getting tired. Sometimes, when you try to hard, you get obnubilated. I suggest you take a day off. -- 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
