I don't if you've bothered to look at Nvidia's website but here is a link to their page on the linux driver for what I believe is the card your using. http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-ia32-260.19.12-driver.html http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html The hardware you are using appears to be of the older rather than newer variety. I looked at the specs, albeit briefly, so maybe your card is newer than I think. I wonder if there is some support in the latest nvidia offering for display port? Your card doesn't appear to support display port as far as I can see. I wonder what impact this may have if it is so. At some point the card would have to interface with the sound device or provide its own sound capabilities I guess, either of which might lead to interesting problems. Though I don't know what impact that might have on a video card that does not support display port. Anyway, maybe if you had another sound card to try that might work or if you try an older version of the nvidia driver or newer depending on what's packaged with kmod-nvidia. Last time I tried the kmod package, i got no display at all. Best of luck.
