Sell board and video card and get a G45 shipset with onboard HDMI. BTW, I don't think you can get 7.1 to a receiver via a computer. My 4890 only does 5.1 via HDMI and optical is limited to 5.1 across the board.

I think you're mistaken. The Radeon 4 series does 7.1 through HDMI.

Yes you can get 7.1 Audio through the 4550 if it's output via LPCM
You're likely talking about bitstream which there isn't currently an available Video card that can bitstream the 7.1 codecs (Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HDMA). That's ok though my Reciever needs LPCM 7.1 and can't decode those bitstreams anyway.

If it doesn't work for you you're either trying to bitstream or your source is only 5.1 or you have something else causing an issue.
