I have a problem. I would like to set up 5.1 surround, however by just looking at my motherboard (ASRock H81M DGS r2.0) I can see only one audio out port (Green) which is strange as I found this in specs online, "5.1 CH HD Audio (Realtek ALC662 Audio Codec) "http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/H81M-DGS%20R2.0/index.us.asp", Unfortunately, the one audio out port means that at the moment I can set up only 2.0 stereo sound, however, for gaming, I would like to use 5.1 surround. Does anyone know of any methods of achieving this without the use of more aux cables or a form of virtual surround?
 
Solution
Enter the realtek audio panel and when you set it to 5.1 it should tell you which jacks become which functions. I cant recall iff the fron audio hack becomes the rear spear jack or not. good luck.
