Not much point in having a sound card if you got a 400series or better video card (don't know about AMD's...which ever series started using HDMI ports).

You got a good point, I am not using my nvidia audio device though, I am using my onboard realtek, I never even thought about testing it... maybe I should... lol

HDMI supports 8 sound channels, I lurves it on my 7.1 system.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI
"is a compact audio/video interface for transferring uncompressed digital audio/video data from an HDMI-compliant device"
Since that :P
As far as I know for sound cards:
Analog: Max 2 channel, hence why a 5.1 card has 2 audio jacks + 1 subwoofer jack
*Digital (optical): Max 2 channel of PCM, 4 channel if compressed audio (ie Dolby Digital)
*http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S/PDIF
HDMI: Max 8 channels of compressed or uncompressed audio
I should note that both DisplayPort and HDMI support audio and video signals. DisplayPort I think also adds data, and was set to replace HDMI, DVI, VGA, USB, and FireWire as a universal multi-purpose connector. But it's been slow to adopt :(
