Lets imagine I was looking to buy a TV and a Home Cinema System but also wanted to use the 5.1 surround with a computer.
I'm looking to use a GA-MA785GMT-UD2H motherboard and I suspect that using the HDMI makes things complicated with trying to get the sound out of the Home Cinema system and video through the TV.
The motherboard also has an optical out. Is that simpler and still supports proper 5.1 sound (not some fake simulated version)
Do I just need a home cinema system that supports HDMI passthrough along with some daisy chaining standard or other?
