I will be building a new HTPC soon using a Intel Core 2 Duo X6800 CPU, I need a motherboard with at least 3 PCI slots for DVB Cards, which limits my choice a little, can anybody recommend a board that has a audio chipset that is well supported by alsa? spdif output and hardware mixing including spdif is a must, I have purchased a couple of systems in the past year which appeared (from reading the alsa soundcard matrix) to be fully supported by alsa, but I had problems with broken spdif output, lack of hardware mixer etc.
My work systems with VIA 8237 ALC658D have excellent alsa functionality, literally everything works, but the boards that support core duo have much newer audio chipsets and I am concerned that they might not be so well supported.
Any recommendations?
Thanks
Andy
