So one thing I really miss from my cheap amd ga890 mb to this rog rive is the onboard sound mix. The sound quality is fine but I use a home theater as my sound reproduction. With the old board in windows 7 I could select Dolby 5.1 as the default output and run out to my home theater via optical cable. This would give me full output on all 6 speakers.
The rive in windows 7 only gives me a default of 2 channels to select. So when I play a DVD or blue ray the application actually samples out properly to 5.1 on all 6 speakers. But if I'm playing Hulu or Netflix I only get 2 speaker channels. Also I'm not getting an up sample to 5.1 and can only get 2 channels on music.
I really don't want to have to buy a sound card for this as I don't have a sound quality problem with it.
Any one know a hax to force 5.1 mix out of optical on the rive?
