(its not the tv cause I've tested it with a PS3 and the pc isnt asleep of anything because I have vnc into it and use it fine - just wont display)
2. The coax sound output on the board wont pass any signal. As the pc is booting my amp detects the port, but once windows takes over no signal. The drivers are installed and the sound is set to the AC97 ports.
Two very weird things that I have spent hours trying to sort out.... Anyone have any suggestions...
Thanks guys

I am no expert, but here are my experiences:
I have an older (bought Jan 07) MB: Gigabyte GA-945GMF-S2. I have SPDIF connected to my amp. In Jul 08, I installed a new VGA card: ASUS EAH2600XT-HDTP; this uses an AMD chipset & has 2 DVI sockets & is connected to my TV via HDMI.
1. If I connect a monitor as well, only one display works; it seems to depend on which DVI socket is used. This is not usually a problem.
2. AroundJul 08, I lost all sound; it seems like a similar experience to yours.
My PC has some s/w by Realtek for audio. I have disconnected my PC from the TV & amp & set it up on a desk with 2 simple PC speakers. I still don't get any sound, even just using the Realtek test output signal.
However, I also have the Linux Ubuntu OS installed on ths PC. When I play a recorded TV program, using VLC, I do get sound.
On another approach, if I play a recorded TV program, using VLC, on the XP OS (with the amp & TV connected), & set the audio to SPDIF, I get a horrible, loud, buzzing noise from the speakers attached to the amp.
I did wonder whether the HDMI cable may have affected the sound, but the desk-top check was done without that.
I would be interested to know whether you have had any success with your problems.
