I've got 2 channel output from the 3.5mm stereo no problem but I really want 5.1 for Plex.

Has ANYONE managed to get confirmed 5.1 from this board or do I need to upgrade or switch to another platform.....

Cheers for all the information so far!!

I had digital audio working under 10.5.6 (see link in my sig), altho I was using coax, not optical. I now have 2 G31Ms in the house.. and the gigabyte adapter stayed with the other mobo which is doing duty as HTPC and all-around web/mail server. I have another similar adapter that I picked up out of a junk pile at work which I will get around to trying over the holidays and will post the results.

GA-G31M-ES2L.v1, E6300 @ 2.8GHz, nvidia GT240 (or 9500GT), 10.6.6, fakeSMC rev454
