Inexpensive reliable motherboard with onborad optical output?

[parachuter2b]

hey!

so I couldn't get the optical sound working on the Asus M3N78-VM:

http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/258965-30-asus-m3n78-optical-sound-working

called asus support today and they said it's a known issue and gave me an RMA to return it...

now hunting for another reliable inexpensive main board with onboard spdif output. Any suggestions?

ps. running XP 32bit

Thanks,

Just go to newegg and use the power search feature to filter just the mobos that have the features you want.
Then read the reviews and that way at least you will make an informed choice
