Dell Creative Labs SB0880 Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium

Hi,

I have this soundcard in my Precision 3500 pc and was looking to find the pin-out configuration for the internal 3-pin connector on the card.

Basically, I want to run an audio cable from my GPU (Nvidia FX580) to this connector to allow audio over the DP to HDMI adapter I'm using connected to my LCD.

My understanding is that one pin is for spdif, another is gnd and the last one is vcc.

You can see the connector I'm talking about at the link below.

Any help much appreciated.

Display port + + has audio there is NO CABLE FROM Sound card to Display port. 

Dell does not publish pinouts for anything EVER.

SPDIF is totally not related to Display port.

Thanks for the reply.

I bite the bullet and just connected the 2-pin audio cable from the GPU HDMI connector to the soundcards 3-pin connector and can now get sound in Windows by selecting Digital Audio (HDMI).

Linux is being a little bit stubborn but at least I know the physical connections are ok.
