Ok, I am a bit confused and no one specifically answers this. I just bought a 9400GT with HDMI port. From reading the rags, I am not sure whether I can get audio through HDMI or I have to connect a SPDIF cable from either the mother board or from a seperate audio card to the video card. In my case this will have to be so because my mobo does not have spdif. Thanx for the help.

AFAIK, you can't get audio into the HDMI signal through the PCI-E connector (at least, not with the 9400GT).
Your card should have an SPDIF header, and probably came with a cable to connect to a motherboard SPDIF header. However, since you said your motherboard doesn't have SPDIF, you're going to need a sound card that has an SPDIF header, I suppose.
Make sure and check that you have the headers connected properly; those cables aren't universal.
