Ok..  after several days of trial and error, and hours reading through the wiki, forums, etc...  I am finally giving up and asking for help.

I have a nvidia 7300LE video card.  It has VGA, DVI, S-Video, and Component Out (with breakout cable)

I can get video to work with everything except Component Out, and due to my setup, I will have to use component for HD output.  My receiver will not let me chose SPDIF audio when using HDMI for the video input (DVI to HDMI cable)   So..  I am stuck with having to use Component video and I just can't seem to get it to work out.

I have tried the AVWizzard and I can't seem to get a signal when I chose Component.  neither 480 or 720 work.

I have also tried to edit my xorg.conf file, however, I am still trying to learn how this all works.

If anyone has a similar setup, and has successfully got component out to work, could you please help me out.

as a side note, is it possible to have dual monitor output, where I could use this same card and just clone the output using both VGA and Component, assuming I can ever get component working?

Audio playback is extremely distorted, sounds like I have blown speakers.  Music pops, screaches, crackles, etc...
If I switch to KDE desktop and play the same music files, everything sound great, no problems at all.

I have a P5VD2-X motherboard and I am using the onboard audio.

Under media director, the audio settings are set to C3,  Sound Card: Standard Sound Card, SPDIF Coax, and AC3 Pass-Through is checked.

I have tried other setting and nothing seems to fix the problem.

If anyone has any suggestions, I could use the help.       

thanks
