As far as I could see, the card only has HDMI and SPDIF/optical inputs, so all the sound formats has to come from one of those inputs... which one?

Thanks!
Many video cards out there don't do audio through HDMI, only video. You can accomplish a similar result with SPDIF but this is so its only one cable.

All ATI cards from the 2x00 series on support audio in HDMI. I don't know what is going on with nvidia but I am under the impression that all of the 8x00 series don't do audio over HDMI (or only some of them do). the 9x00 series might be different.
