Nforce2 sound ports?

Bucky0 · 20-January-03, 01:18 AM

Hey guys,
I was looking at the Epox 8rda board for my next upgrade experience and I noticed a little problem right before I ordered 2 (one for me and one for by brother's (belated) Christmas present).
We are both wanting to use the onboard sound, and we are both wanting to eventually move to 5.1 sound. However, I don't see how one can plug in 6 channel sound and still have a mic-in line. AFAIK the boards only have 3 audio jacks which would be taken up by the speakers, leaving none for a mic-in line.

Am I missing something or am I gonna have to spring for another board.

Thanks in advance-
Bucky
