nohj Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Hi everyone, I've been searching relentlessly and can't seem to find a solid answer and was hoping someone could respond and say - "hey, buy this mobo and you'll get what you want because I've tested it personally for your problem" Basically, I want a motherboard that'll give me 100% working optical output (spdif) 5.1 or higher to my receiver. It's gotta work 100% in all applications -- ie, if i'm playing a movie that has 5.1 it'll just work automagically and if I'm playing itunes it'll just spit out normal stereo sound, etc. I'm trying to build a HTPC and will be using xbmc or boxee. I'm currently using my macbook and want to use a 'normal' rig now. If you have personally verified the optical 5.1 output with your motherboard, I would appreciate your feedback, thanks!!!
