HPE 380UK - GTX 260, HDMI audio via SPDIF cable?

Hi all,

 

I recently brought a HP Pavilion Elite HPE-380uk desktop, which comes with a GeForce GTX 260 1.8GB Special Edition PCI-E graphics card.

 

I want to output via HDMI to my HDTV, however the GTX 260 does not feature an on-board audio chip in the way most of the recent ATI cards do, so HDMI audio has to be passed through a SPDIF connection. I have done some research and this appears to be a small cable that goes straight from the card to a SPDIF input on the motherboard.

 

Can anybody advise where this input is on the motherboard [MS-7613 (Iona-GL8E)]? Does my GTX 260 even come with this cable? I haven't opened the case up yet but will try and take a look inside tomorrow.

This is the motherboard for the HPE-380UK.  The black and white layout diagram doesn't show a SPDIF connector unless it's unlabeled by the SPDIF output connector (top left corner).

 

I know the SPDIF cable that you are referring to as I have it on my NVIDIA GT 240 and it's plugged into IPIBL-LB (Benicia) motherboard SPDIF connector on my m9200t system. My e9280t system also has the SPDIF connector on the motherboard.
