Why?!? I'm not an audiophile by any means, but for the last 2 decades I have been using the optical audio port for streaming music from my PC (S/PDIF, TOSLINK, etc.) There is ZERO interference on this link. No noise crackling and popping, ruining your immersion and breaking your concentration. It is the cheapest, easiest, and most painless solution to getting your audio to wherever you want it to go. Run a cheap optical cable from your PC directly to your stereo, and let your stereo do any necessary analog conversions. If your PC does not have an optical port then check your stereo for other options. Part of the reason for HDMI was passing multiple audio channels from your PC/TV and giving you the most state of the art surround sound experience available. No HDMI either? USB. Granted, your PC's analog audio is an order of magnitude better these days than it used to be but once it leaves the computer it still has the same interference issues.

Even in 2015 you still had more reliability issues with analog than USB, its only in 2020s that i consider analog to be unnecessary for reliability reasons alone. But lot of people still have good analog stuff, lets grandfather them in. But i don't expect or demand or ask them to still keep putting analog audio ports into mobos in 2030s. Maybe some people still prefer analog in 2030s, but it no longer needs to be industry standard since it will be just that rare.

5:01 Those analog surround outputs are one the ways you can get uncompressed 5.1 or 7.1 audio from a pc. S/PDIF can do uncompressed stereo but anything above that is compressed. You can also use hdmi or dp to carry the sound but the sound data is interleaved into the picture data. So no sound without picture. Analog outputs seem to be the easiest way to hookup an amplifier to a pc.

All three operate independently from each other with EqualizerAPO, or with HDAJackRetask in Linux, and all three process the exact same stereo signal.

Case in point: when I chatted with devs of one of my favorite games and mentioned how great and immersive it sounds on surround speaker system, their response was basically "Oh, we didn't even knew nor checked that it supports that. I guess it comes enabled by default in the game engine we're using" *sad surround noises*

I am one of those people that needs them!” *Proceeds to describe using Optical and One (1) Singular 3.5mm jack.* Anyone that uses surround sound is going to use the Optical port or HDMI audio. 99.5% of everyone else is going to just use the stereo and mic in jacks. I would vastly prefer that all of the circuitry dedicated to 7.1 channels worth of Pre-Amplification and DACs to shitty little 3.5mm jacks went to just giving the headphone port an amazing onboard DAC and High Impedance capable Amp. Hell - even optical is dead and gone at this point, I’d take a well integrated HDMI 2.1 Audio option with Atmos / E-ARC support any day. Chuck that plastic piece of 1980’s detritus in whatever old folks home they stuck Beta and HD-DVD in. For anyone that does still need ALL of those other 3.5MM ports for their 7.1 Surround Sound (and inexplicably decides to have their primo audio signal source run through copper strands the thickness of Galadriel’s finest pube, complete with the several metric gigafucktonnes of interference that only such a girthless unbalanced analog conductor can provide), there is a simple solution.

i still use the 7.1 audio ports, bought a logitech z506 system for my desktop years ago, $70 for a 5.1 system, well worth it and if im not playing online i prefer it over headphones. One of my favorite purchases for the price for my setup

I have analog speakers on my latest build. They're actually carried over from the '90s, and still better than any other speakers in the house, even if they were never top tier. They just work, and don't need software.

My Ryzen 5600x / RTX 3080 gaming rig uses 5.1 surround while my Ryzen 1600x / GTX 1060 media PC uses SPDIF. Both computers are hooked up to the same Logitech Z-5500 (1010 watts surround). Until I start seeing better computer speakers, I'll continue using these ancient but still awesome speakers.

Creative and Turtle Beach dropped the massive ball on that. They both could have been audio chipset standards on motherboards. Creative specifically didn't bother for greedy reasons and look where they are now. You don't even hear them mentioned in audio talks anymore other than nostalgia.

@@Ancientreapers I have to say, that Creative had a few issues a few years ago, in my previous system I had the Soundblaster Z and the driver had issues for years after every function update. When they released the Z SE, the old one got the same suite and driver and all issues vanished. With the AE-5 I have in my new rig, which uses the same driver package with Windows 11 I had not a single issue after upgrading to 22H2. They should really get more praise for what they achieved, I know there are on board solutions by Creative, but I don't think they deliver the same, or would ever have been able to, than their dedicated sound cards.

Give me a clean computer with no window any day. So much prettier and sleeker looking. This case is something I'd actually put on my desk, not something with a window and tons of RGB. I don't want or need to look at the inside of my computer... ever... Really can't wait for the trend of windows and RGB to die.

I still use the analog audio out on my board, granted, just the stereo/front speakers one (the lime one, usually bottom middle), to hook up my speakers, that are 10+ years old, but still work just fine, and still sound good. Honestly sometimes it's useful just to use as an very loose indicator of a good board, if it's not present, likely not a good sign.

I actually used the line out for audio up to 5 days ago... got rid of it because of noise in the audio due to lack of shielding. Light doesn't care about that. I also got this case and really like it! enough space allthough I would've liked it if the front fan mounting wasn't as bulky because it does obstruct quite a bit of the fans when you use 140mm fans. (liquid freezer II 420mm in my case)
