| Post subject: | Foxconn NF4K8MC-ERS Audio Question/Help |
Like a complete idiot, I bought a Biostar TForce 6100-939 motherboard for my HD MythTV box, not realizing what a nightmare it would be to configure because of the lack of Linux drivers that support it (the price for a mobo with onboard sound and video was just too good to pass up). I've decided to sell it on eBay and get an nForce 4 motherboard, and it seems that my only real option is the Foxconn NF4K8MC-ERS. I don't want to have to buy a new case and processor on top of the new motherboard, and the NF4K8MC-ERS is the only mini ATX socket 939 motherboard I can find anywhere. I very much want to use digital audio, and while the motherboard has a header for a coax SPDIF out, no bracket is provided, which just seems completely moronic to me. I've been looking on eBay and at various vendor sites for a compatible bracket, and it seems absolutely impossible to find. Before I shell out for this motherboard, I'd like to know 1) Can anyone steer me toward a place I gat get a compatible bracket? 2) Will it be relatively easy to get digital audio output via such a bracket 3) Is the process likely to be complicated enough that I'd be better off buying a separate sound card instead of trying to use the onboard sound? 4) If so, what's the best/least expensive such option? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide... |

Feel free to disregard this thread--I decided to go with the much-easier-all-arond solution of simply buying a Chaintech AV-710. I'm going to put all my efforts at configuring MythTV aside until it arrives from NewEgg. |
