nathan7 Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Please tell me if your optical SPDIF out works, and what motherboard you are running. I am looking for the least expensive board with working SPDIF and working everything else. I would like the Asus P5LD2-VM but Newegg is out of stock so I was researching what else might work. Thanks a bunch. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/56578-spdif-optical-out/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a bunch. I'm using an Asus P5LD2-VM DH with optional SPDIF connector Audio works great, 5.1, Dolby Digital, DTS, etc with Logitech Z-680 speakers (http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2003/09/30/logitech_z-680_thx_5_1_speakers/1) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/56578-spdif-optical-out/#findComment-404301 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathan7 Posted July 9, 2007 Author Share Posted July 9, 2007 Hey that is great to hear Taruga. How is the DH model different my friend? Does it work just as well as the non-DH? Thanks.

Taruga Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Hey that is great to hear Taruga. How is the DH model different my friend? Does it work just as well as the non-DH? Thanks. The DH model supports AHCI and Native Command Queuing, it's best for osx, it works better than the non-DH. Intel ICH7-M AHCI: Vendor: Intel Product: ICH7-M AHCI Speed: 3.0 Gigabit Description: AHCI Version 1.10 Supported Maxtor 6V160E0: Capacity: 149.05 GB Model: Maxtor 6V160E0 Revision: VA111900 Serial Number: V30AXDMG Native Command Queuing: Yes Queue Depth: 32 Removable Media: No Detachable Drive: No BSD Name: disk3 OS9 Drivers: No S.M.A.R.T. status: Verified I would go for the P5LD2-VM DH, I have one P5LD2-VM (non-DH) also and I like the DH version the most. Its more compatible compared to a real mac which also uses AHCI Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/56578-spdif-optical-out/#findComment-404323 Share on other sites More sharing options...

nathan7 Posted July 9, 2007 Author Share Posted July 9, 2007 I think I have decided on a BIOSTAR 945G Micro 775 SE LGA 775 Intel 945G, and it will be a bonus if the optical works. Thanks.
