Of course, I have a DVD player, and it doesn't work anymore than youtube: no sound. I called Asus and their support is provided by shoe salesmen. (Skip) I then called NVIDIA in California, the head office. They first told me that, despite offering proprietary drivers, plus settings and troubleshooting solftware, they don't offer Linux support. A first line support guy told me the problem might be with Asus not providing HDMI sound support with its version of the card. And providing an S/PIDF wire just the same? Just for fun? And it's "Why don't you go to our forum", where you're told that people there are mainly experiencing with multicore. And it's "Why don't you go tho nvnews" where the guy who owns the site pays for it with advertising and is not in any way an NVIDIA employee. So, wherever you go, you're stuck. My feeling is NVIDIA produces a software that kinda works with Linux and then doesn't give a damn about it. They seem to think: "Hey! We don't provide code, we don't provide support, we just pocket the money! Why should we care?" Finally, after explaining at my long distance expense how this was ridiculous and that I would make it public, I was given this address: <http://nvidia.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/nvidia.cfg/php/enduser/ask.php> It seems there might be some Linux support limited Linux support after all. I'll see. This is the eighth time this URL is mentioned on the net! So, back to business. My guess is if all my computer was assembled except the S/PDIF card, the store was aware of the problems they'd run into trying to make sound work through HDMI. They know nothing about Linux and they won't run around in cricles like I did. So, since I don't give a damn about 3D, the solution might be to scrap the NVIDIA 9400GT card and buy an ATI card. Has anybody succeeded in getting the equivalent of TwinView working with ATI? I mean two monitor that show exactly the same desktop in correct ratios, meaning that if your principal monitor is 5x4, on a 16x9 screen, the sides will be black and there will be no attempt to stretch images? And 16x9 movies will show full width... Do TV tuners work with ATI? -- 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
