if your home theatre setup has hdmi input you can use the hdmi output on your graphics card for sound to your surround setup. it will sound far superior to using a sound card then sending analogue signals to the surround system.

I already did it, i bought HDMI cable plug it on my home theatre to HDMI videocard but no sounds is coming. :\

you need to right click on your speaker icon in the lower right of desktop, go onto playback devices and change it to the hdmi sound.

you also will want to configure it for 5.1 surround output.

Hello, thank you for replying again..

from sounds to playback it says digital audio (HDMI) is not plugged in, http/i.imgur.com/ph44uRT.png

are you making sure your surround system is set to the hdmi port your pc is plugged into?
