I have a couple of questions about the sound on this mobo before I buy it.
1.) Where is the decoding done (for DTS, Dolby Digital) do I need to get a receiver? do some speaker systems have decoding? what is the best computer 5.1 speaker system for under 500 bucks that will include this decoding?
2.) I know that current dvd drives have a digital out on the back of them so that you can avoid analog. I don't think the a7n8x mobo has a header on the mobo to accept this input so it can go out the spdif. I only see two stereo inputs on the header. Is this right? Is there no way to play a dvd true 5.1 with this mobo?
