No such luck. Enabling it and playing audio (that comes out on the
speakers) does not cause an audio signal to be sent on the HDMI cable.

On the Vista side, it refers to the digital output both as S/PDIF
digital output and "Real Panel Optical Jack". It is definitely part of
the realtek high def audio driver. The realtek config app gives a choice
for default audio output; speakers or digital.
