I believe you've been looking too much for the key hole :) Just a little note, I don't have the answer to your problem ... The S/PDIF interface only needs 2 wires from the motherboard to your video card, signal and ground. Usually there is another pin that carries 5 volts used to power a fiber optic interface cable. If you are connecting to a 4 pin header on the motherboard, are you sure you are using the s/pdif connector? My Intel board only has three pins on the s/pdif header.
