Looks like there needs to be an internal S/PDIF connection, do you have that set up:

"Note To enable HDMI audio out function, a motherboard with internal S/PDIF header and the correct connection of S/PDIF cable with graphics card and motherboard are needed."

I don't have a internal S/PDIF connection but what if I use a hdmi female 2 dvi male adapter and run the sound through my sound card will that work? and will I still get the same video quality I don't care about digital surround sound I just want sound when I watch it in HD.
