After years of 2.1 shackles, I've finally got a nice Sony 5.1 system on the way...
I have this motherboard:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6813128357
It says that it has "2/4/5.1/7.1-channel (Note)
Note: To configure 7.1-channel audio, you need connect with the port of HD Audio standard via front panel and enable the multi-channel audio feature through the audio driver"
Does this mean I connect the HDAudio on the MB to the front panel input of the case, and plug a s/pdif cable between there and an input of the sony receiver? Will this work in Ubuntu?
