From: http://atlona.com/pdf/FAQ-AT-H2H-88M.pdf "The SPDIF connection does not support uncompressed audio formats like Dolby True HD and DTS master. It supports the following formats: PCM 2Channel, LPCM 5.1, Dolby 2.0, Dolby Digital 5.1, and DTS 5.1"

Heh, SPDiF is enough bandwidth for 7.1 not 2.0. You have to do HDMI for for atmos. Edit: Yes it has to be compressed via DD or DTS but pro logic or pro logic II extrapolates surround info from uncompressed 2.0 and gives you 5/6/7.1 quite well on PCM. The surround on my games works just fine...

Um, you realize that a HTR worth its salt will happily decode PCM right?

Me, I run the SPDiF (optical) out from my board into a surround sound receiver (in my case Denon AVR3808) and let it do the heavy lifting. I had to resort to this setup due to a jerk in my neighborhood running a 400W linear on his CB and bleeding through my old analog PC speaker system.

I use mine to space out the X16 slots... they do a grand job of it too.

The double negative in the title had me confused. It doesn't not boot up... so it does boot up. Seems that it does when you hit the power button.

Anyone? Okay, I'll take the lack of other replies to mean no. Thanks for looking anyway.

I'll see what else shakes out. The K part turbos higher than the non k. Thanks though. :-)

I'm looking for an i7 4790K. Doesn't need to be a stellar overclocker, the highest I'll be hoping to hit with it is possibly 4.3Ghz if that. I just don't feel like spending as much as they're going for on fleabay since I'm just wanting to do an incremental upgrade on a PC I won't be using a...

I've been around, lurking in the shadows. I'm not saying I'm Batman but you'll never see us both in the same room at the same time... Actually I changed jobs a while ago and now I barely have time to think.

You wouldn't happen to have a Straight Power 11 you need to unload would you?

Is this still for sale?

I wish you were a dentist because that was fast and painless. Thanks!

ASUS RMA is a joke. Last time I sent a motherboard in for RMA I got a replacement that had a dead dimm slot and USB header. The dimm slot was overlookable as I really didn't need to use it but the USB header was for their wireless card and negated the whole point of my mobo being a "wireless"...
