Radeon HD4670s comes w/ visual and audio??

Hello everyone,
I recently installed a ATI Radeon HD4670 512M GDDR3 PCI-E. It took me a while to get the screens working on my big screen and PC works great now but I can't get any volume from the TV, it only comes from the PC. Am I missing something or do I need to install some other software to get the TV volume working?
Thanks,
Ken

 

You need to run a "Y" cable, from your sound card/integrated audio, to the television's PC audio input, or your surround/stereo system. You can also obtain a headphone splitter, to run audio from the same sound jack, to two different components.

If you are using HDMI, you may be relegated to a separate sound system, with no audio from the TV.

Unfortunately, though HDMI does carry audio/video, it is not native to a video card.:cry

If you are going that far with a video card, I'd get a nice X-Finity card, or maybe Turtle Beach. Preferably a nice 7.1, 24-bit card.

 

How is the video card connected to the TV (what kind of cable). Unless you are using HDMI, you would have to run separate audio cables between the PC and TV.

 

Hi,
I am running a HDMI cable. Is there anything I can do so I can use my TV remote to adjust the volume?
Cheers,

Try going into the sound applet and make sure that ATI HDMI is set as your default sound device.

 

The attached picture shows the Sound applet

 

Hi
Where do I find the Sound Applet? There is nothing on the card and on my PC I can only find Realtek HD Audio and there is nothing on that for setting the default.
Thanks
Ken

 

Click the start button, and in the search box, type Sound. It should show up at the top of the list of apps.

 

Hi,
Thanks for the replies. I have WIndows XP media center. I tried all that and still can't find any ATI HD. Maybe I do not have the software loaded up. I went to sapphire home page and downloaded this because I did not get any software with the card when I bought it. Any thoughts??
Thanks
Ken

Hi again,
:-o I did not have the software loaded. So I loaded it up and am a little closer to audio but still nothing. Under start then the Sound and Audio device it is set on RealTek HD, I click on the Tabs on Hardware and found that the ATM High Definition Audio is on there now but when I go back to Audio Tab and then the list of audios is only Realtek, how do I get the ATM High Definition Audio to this page so I can click on it to make it my default? I have an Emachines about 5 years old, but it is in Japanese and I can't make out what it is telling me. So I am kind of trail and error on everything I click on to read.
THanks
Ken

 

Hi,
I went back to the sapphire site and downloaded an older version. I am getting a little closer. ON the sound/audio I now have the choice of Realtek and ATI HD audio rear output. But when I click on it I still get no sound. I know I will get it one day.

 

Haven't had the chance to use DVI/HDMI with Windows XP yet, without a sound card. Usually a bookshelf stereo system, or better, and a forty dollar Logitech remote.

Keep tryin', maybe they'll write something into the next update, with enough complaint.

 

Hi,
So do you think is the cheapest way to get sound out of the TV? Just plugging a cable from the speaker PC to the headset TV? Or if I plug in another cable to the video card and then the TV. If I do the other cable in the Video card will I have to unplug the HDMI or can I use both?
Cheers,
Ken

 

The thing is, is that Windows XP works very well with alot of older hardware, and Vista/7 doesn't work so well with certain hardware.

I can't see why you shouldn't be able to run audio, with your HDMI port with XP.

However, I can't say for sure, it that type of option is accessible witht the current Catalyst build.

Anybody else?

 

i am using an ati with HDMI to my tv and then another output to a monitor as well.
i had to change my sound output on the computer from the default to the ATi card...
my HDMI runs both sound and video.....

do you have the suite from ati or just the drivers? believe there will be the hdmi or sound separate at installation of these both

 

Hi,
I did change the default to ATI but still couldn't get any sound. For the sound card is that something I can download or do I have to plug it in like this video card? Also does anyone know of if there is anything good that you can watch live sports or watch some TV online without paying the big bucks?:confused
Cheers

 

Hi,
Thanks for the advice, I have just one little problem.:cry My computer is in Japanese and I can't read it. So it is all hit and miss and lots and lots of trial and error. I will post in the lounge part. I will keep at it till I get it. I did buy an audio cable and plugge it in to the back of the computer then to the earphone/mic of the TV and got nothing. Still going to try.:major

 

... then how about setting the language to something you might understand? set the computer next to another? have a buddy bring out a laptop and view the two side by side to change the language settings? confused why this isn't addressed sooner?

 

Hi,
I will find a bud and try that. Confused about why I didn't change the language or why this has not been done about how to get Audio working?

 

lookslike if you can't read the language it is in then changes to the system maybe very difficult?

 

Hi all,
Back and still trying. There is another plug I have on the card besides the HDMI. It has 3 little square holes high and 8 little square holes long a total of 24 and then beside it has a plus kind of sign with 4 little square holes around that. What kind of plug is that and would it be easier to hook up through that?
Thanks

 

Maybe a user manual download will give you some ideas about your card, features, check the manufacturer's Web site.
