Can I ask, what do you do for surround sound. Checking out the boards in
the web I cannot find one with a coax output for audio, currently my Via
board outputs surround sound via spdif via coax cable to my surround
sound amp. And I definitely don't want to lose my audio quality!
A large number of microATX boards (and full ATX boards) have either
toslink or coax or both. I have a Foxconn G9657MA and it has both.
My Asus Board has digital audio optional. It is on the board but not
at the backpanel. If you have such a board you need an extra adapater
(10-15 EUR). So even if an Asus board has no visible digital audio
out, it may still have it.
Do none of the current boards to audio over HDMI?
Not that I know of. But it could be possible that you can connect this
internal digital audio to your graphic card to HDMI. But why do you
need that? HDMI is for a TV and a TV has bad speakers. OK, you could
go to the TV with HDMI and to your amp with the TV digital out.

Mostly from my hatred of cables. With a digital stb, ps2, xbox, freevo,
stereo amp and a 5.1 receiver I have a complete mess of cables already.
I really don't want even more cables if they're avoidable. I've got a
1080i tv (which for the price is fine) with hdmi so I'm thinking to the
future when I might have a PS3 maybe and new surround amp with hdmi.
There are a number of PCI-E cards with HDMI, eg GIGABYTE 7600GS HDMI
GV-NX76G256HI-RH, Sapphire Radeon X1600Pro HDMI, HIS Excalibur HD 2900XT.
They require an internal spdif connector for the neatest cabling,
otherwise the spdif is connected externally.

Ah I didn't know if the cards had an internal connector. I was hoping
for an onboard solution but it's good to know this anyway.
