But if that was the case, you’d need a cpu with an gpu (who is going to put a ryzen apu in a topend mobo??)… so really scummy. How the hell is my $140 asrock have proper 7.1 analog and optical but not this pos lol

compression with surround isn’t really the issue. it’s that the newer dolby/DTS stuff needs more bandwidth. imo, 2.1 is more than enough for 95% of pc users.
wait… the specs say 7.1 audio… but it only has stereo out?
Your mobo doesn’t have optical? I thought that’s pretty standard on everything except basic models.
It’s just perception. It’s the some bullshit logic why sale taxes are not included in the price and calculated at purchase… makes the product seem cheaper than it actually is.
The worst part is calling someone with a decade of experience a “junior”…
Ok… assuming the audio inputs can be changed to outputs… you lose analog inputs which isn’t great either.
I guess I missed where amd has released apus on normal skus on this gen. But still, I don’t like being forced to buy a specific cpu just because the uber expensive mobo cheaped out on adding outputs…
