GPU and Soundcard

[Jordan Skinner]

I'd like to use HDMI to connect my GPU to my monitor since I can notice a difference between it and DVI, no matter how slight it may be I can notice it, but whenever I do I cant use my sound card for sound since Nvidia's HD Audio takeover, which is inturn causing me some other problems such as when TDR kicks in the sound drivers not recovering.

Is there a way I can use HDMI for video, but a 3.5mm Stereo Jack for sound?

put somes specs please..what is your setup?
do you have a dedicated sound card? if yes ..what model is

Oh I forgot to put specs, my sound card is a Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme and my GPU is a GTX 560Ti.

To clarify, the sound card works perfectly so long as I use DVI or VGA for the video input, but as soon as I switch to HDMI no sound works at all until I begin using Nvidia's hd audio.

I have already tried completely removing the drivers to no avail. And I have Windows 7 installed on this machine currently.
