master6238 · 06-29-2009, 02:28 PM

Well I got cable TV for my computer I have it hooked up to my monitor (HP LP2475w) with component (Red, Blue, Green) and for sound I have a SPDIF (digital Coax) from the cable box Spdif to my mobo (Asus P6T)
I have updated my realtek sound drivers, and still no sound for my cable.... I also went to the realtek panel and switched from Speakers to Realtek Digital output, and still no sound for cable.... I wont lie I have no clue what I am doing Thanks for any help!!!!!

Your motherboard has two coax inputs, one is optical coax and one is digital coax, make sure its in the correct input, You may have a bad audio cable, bring up your audio mixer and goto options then properties, make sure you dont have a coax/digital audio options, if you do select it then hit ok, make sure its not muted in the mixer, these are general settings but make fix a big problem for you..

Also, does your cable box have an option to chose which audio output to select?

The audio card only has one or two inputs which are analog/stereo connections. The SPDIF and coax are outputs, not inputs so connecting another output to either of them will do nothing but potentially damage your computer.

What you need to do is this - use the analog,stereo audio outputs from the cable box (red and white connections) and connect it to the computer sound card's aux or microphone input (this end would be a stereo mini jack). Cables can be purchased at Radio Shack as well as other retailers.

My mistake, i checked a website that had the specs for you motherboard. The website said two INPUTS. My apologies... Evil Newegg. Rear Panel Ports
PS/2 1
USB 8 x USB 2.0
IEEE 1394 1 x IEEE 1394a
eSATA 1 x eSATA 3Gb/s
S/PDIF In 1 x Optical, 1 x Coaxial
Audio Ports 6 Ports

The Asus website says they are outputs...
