Am I imagining things, or was one of the features of the "new" nvidia motherboards something about onboard dolby digital encoding?


Dunno about that, but the nForce2 board in my Shuttle SN45G says that it supports 6 channel audio, and that it has SPDIF output (and input). Whether it combines the two is another question entirely.

The chip in question is a Realtek ALC650.

Of course, now I actually need to get a 5.1 setup. We don't even have one for the DVD player yet...
