AOXOMOXOA Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 hey guys, I am using a HP Compaq dc5700 Desktop PC as a media server under my big screen in my living room. It is running windows 7 and is attached to my network. I stream all of my network content through it to the TV using the VGA cable and mini plug in to the stereo for sound. That all works just fine but I wanted to switch it over to using HDMI. SO I just bought a low profile Geforce with HDMI installed it in the PCI Express port and got this error. " 922 - This System Only supports SDVO Add2 in the X16 slot" do they even make Add2 cards that have HDMI ports in them? I have not been able to find anything about this online that does me any good. I have been building and fixing computers since the early 90's and I have never even heard of this before. I do have some Nvidia Quatro cards that were in these machines but they are not what I need. is there any other way to get HDMI out of this machine??? http://www.orbitmicro.com/global/609-9904-010-p-9301.html Maybe something like this will work? what do you guys think?? http://www.orbitmicro.com/global/609-9904-010-p-9301.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AOXOMOXOA Posted July 23, 2013 Author Share Posted July 23, 2013 I just read something about the Assist button. I will try after my computer finishes running a hard disk scan of its drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exceptable I guess. still this issue sucks, I really wanted to make this HDMI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biohead Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I had absolutely no idea what an ADD2 card was - had to go look it up. The same search on google also threw this up: http://www.avforums.com/forums/computer-systems/458619-hdmi-add2-boards-do-they-really-exist.html. Specifically post #11. Bear in mind though, that it was over 6 years ago - it's not going to be easy to find such an old piece of hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
