I’ve seen suggestions to disable HDMI audio by disabling driver in Device Manager, but it doesn’t seem to be very reliable/convenient method.

Thank you for the answer. The RCA cables seem to sream audio working only while the PC is booting (I was tryin’ to play music from my phone, and for these seconds I was hearing the music).
That could sound quite normal, as I’m playing audio trough HDMi normally, but how can I disable the HDMI audio?

In the Nvidia Control Panel there’s an option, but when I disable the audio, the RCA port doesn’t work.

I managed to port audio in HDMI with a jumper on my graphic card (Nvidia 9800 GT, Palit manufacturer), linked to the SPDIF audio port of my PC.

Hoping for the best.

RCA jacks near HDMI should work, at least they did for me… I’ve recently changed computer and couldn’t make HDMI work with new one at all (Core i7 integrated video). :( So now I am stuck on VGA.

I’ve seen mentions that there is firmware update that improves HDMI stuff, but I wasn’t able to get my hands on it via Asus support or otherwise. :(

I am so tired of this crap I would probably just look into buying new display this year.

I just wanted to inform you that on Ubuntu 11.10 (and also on previous versions) with the generic driver, the monitor worked at 1920×1080 witout overscanning problems. It was like a dream. But, heh, it had no audio (I’m using audio through HDMI), so I installed the Nvidia drivers.

Yes, audio was working fine the next reboot, but there was als the overscanning.

FFUUUUUUUU!

P.S: Could you please post an image of where you linked the RCA cables?

It might have to do with cable. This stuff is so “smart” it becomes stupid. Trying to only send signals that are supposedly needed and supported only creates such issues. :(

thanks for the fast reply. Yeah, I tried those as well. Actually having the same for my hifi-speakers so I could use them as you did. Just that on the monitor, they don’t work.. By now I figured how to make it work with vga cable though, was not so complicated finally. Now I gotta fine resolution and sound via 3.5.

Does it have something to do with me using dvi to hdmi cable? Will the RCA only work when using an hdmi to hdmi cable. I do btw have an nvidia gts250, new drivers for audio / video (from october 2011) are installed.

Oh man :(

As per post with this tweak you need to use red/white RCA connectors for audio, not 3.5mm.

If you look at the back connectors are grouped together with lines. RCA (which you need) is grouped with HDMI, 3.5mm (won’t work while using HDMI) grouped with VGA.

Any idea for a solution?

Thanks man!

ATI drivers should have much better controls for overscan/underscan (unlike nvidia that refuses to implement them). I think posts on this I know mostly show for older driver interface, so just poke around – should be somewhere in settings for specific monitor or around that.
