Does anyone know if the HDMI will also send out Audio ? basicly looking to use my XPS420 as a extreme media PC .. i have the 8800GT now , but if i can get audio with this card might as well
I'm not quite sure- I don't think so. They might, but even if you would be using more cables, a separate sound card would be better unless you're using an HDTV.
Well I think you can, I saw some picks of this card and it looks like a 2-pin S/PDIF You can't actually see the port i am talking about in the Gallery but it is next to the power ports (a 6-pin and an 8-pin) http://www.firingsquad.com/images/pr/9800gx2side.jpg
The X-Fi3 keeps with the company's commitment to audio fidelity, thanks to the apt-X codec, which supposedly offers audio quality similar to a wired connection when streaming. On that front, the device also handles FLAC files.
