Motherboard help

[bloodhunter]

I am looking to buy an AMD motherboard (socket AM5) that has built in 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound just like my old one has but i can't seem to fine one. Can anyone help me with a link to one please.

Sapphire Nitro or Pure B850A.

budget?

My B650E Taichi Lite has 5.1 sound - if that helps - but only via the 1× Optical S/PDIF out. That appears to be the case with their later boards too, such as the X870E Taichi White.

- 5.1 CH HD Audio with Content Protection (Realtek ALC4082 Audio Codec)
- WIMA Audio Capacitors (For Front Outputs)
- ESS SABRE9218 DAC for Front Panel Audio (130dB SNR)
- Individual PCB Layers for R/L Audio Channel
- Impedance Sensing on Rear Out port
- Nahimic Audio

I think a lot of motherboards have moved to SPIDF for the surround sound output.
