pretty confused and new to this , I was told by asus support after having read somewhere that the board lacks the audio the rest of the line does becuse its an OC board , that it only came with stereo sound. I just made another post asking how to add it and somebody pointed out that the listing says " 8 channel audio which after a quick google is suppose to be 7.1 surround. so is all it is in fact missing is the shield for feed back or was support correct that it is only capable of stereo ? would save me money of a sound card
