Output to Samsung TV

[peter maddison]

I remember having problems with my other MoBo and lack of sound.
As I mentioned in my first post, I had to get audio to the TV via the 
standard speaker jack while using the DVI output with a DVI to HDMI 
converter so I could connect to the HDMI in the back of the TV.
