just look for a motherboard which sports 5.1 surround... it will have it, and some of the 7.1 surround will have them as well. the Asus Sabertooth still has one... i know because i'm using one on my Sabertooth 990fx r2.0; my previous two boards had them as well (M5A99X evo, M4A78T-E); the thing of it is, spdif/optical cables are capped at 5.1 surround sound (perfect audio quality, just limited channels) so many of the 7.1 surround sound boards just don't have those headers anymore.
your other option is to get an older pci-e sound card with 5.1 surround sound (the 7.1 discrete sound cards tend not to have an optical jack as well). I know they still make them.

My Rampage IV Extreme Black has two S/PDIF Outputs but No S/PDIF Inputs. Therefore I cannot send Audio from my TV to my PC. But I can send Audio from my PC to my TV.
I need a S/PDIF INPUT on my motherboard.
