I am not currently about to purchase anything, this is for my own information for when I do decide to pull the trigger. What kind of audio connection do I want to use if I am starting from stratch and have a reasonable budget? Here is what is typically available on a standard motherboard. Did I miss any? Are there any pros or cons to using a particular port?
Standard computer audio ports (up to 4) for stereo up to 7.1 surround sound.
S/PDIF Optical Toslink - What I currently use for my computer.
USB
HDMI - What do you have to do to seperate the sound from the video because I am pretty sure I don't want to use the monitors built in speakers.
Displayport - What do you have to do to seperate the sound from the video because I am pretty sure I don't want to use the monitors built in speakers.
