so..i have a dumb question that i should have asked a while back but it has never really been a problem or come up until i built my first htpc
i have a motherboard (asrock a55m-hvs)...which has hdmi out and on its' website, says it has 5.1 hd audio
my question is..do they mean the 5.1 audio comes from hdmi?
if so, then what does the "hd audio" header mean on the motherboard? i've connected the hd audio cable from my case to it..is there another way to exract 5.1 sound that i am not aware of...?
i am on xbmcbuntu, but i believe this is a general question..as my audio is not working and i'd really like to get...nay, need 5.1 sound to be coming out of my htpc
