    8800GTX doesn't have the option to pass through SPDIF audio.
    You'll need to take the audio out of your PC from your soundcard via 3.5mm jack to 2 channel into your LCD/Plasma.
    Not many tv's have an optical " IN " so unless you have an Amp your stuck with Stereo sound I'd say

    The cards don't have their own audio hardware like the ATIs do but they usually have a SPDIF header on the card which can take be linked via a cable to an internal SPDIF header on the motherboard (if the motherboard has such a header). Pretty much any GeForce 9+ card has one and my PNY 8800GT also has one. Not too sure about the 8800GTX but I'd guess not.
