Zo-Lee Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Hello, I want to invest a home theater system and it would be nice if I can use the surround outputs on my internal soundcard. Can anyone confirm that the onboard soundcard works with its digital outs (optical or coax) or the analog outs (not just line/front outs but center and rear)? Gigabyte P35-DS3L mainboard (ALC888) with Leo4Allv2. THX in advance.

dmanrevived Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I have EP35-DS3L and ALC888 with vanilla. I've tried lots of ALC888 kexts posted here, but I ended up using my own linux codec dump. Still no 5.1 yet, only have line, digital, and headphone outs. I hope someone else has figured it out.

THX in advance. my 5.1 system went' kablooey sometime last year so i can't tell you if this works for 5.1 or not with this, but there have been mixed results, http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=112740 unfortunately taruga's wiki forums are down right now but you can try his HDAenabler.kext Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/121620-alc888-51-out-digital-or-analog/#findComment-860490 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zo-Lee Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 Ahhhaa. And how about an External USB SoundBlaster 5.1 soundcard? When I looked infos about the 5.1 solutioin, I saw some threads that SB card, and it seems it works. If it works without problems, it is not a big deal (relatively cheap solution to get digital (or analog) 5.1 out from the OS) to buy a device like this one. Anyway, thanks for your replies!
