Sound Core3D has been certified for Dolby Digital decode.

Dolby Digital Live works inside your PC or game console while you play, encoding the 5.1-channel audio in the game's audio engine into a Dolby Digital output bitstream. This makes the audio compatible with all Dolby Digital 5.1 playback systems, including A/V receivers, home-theater-in-a-box (HTiB) systems, and integrated 5.1 speaker systems. It also makes connecting your PC or game console to your home theater easy. All you need is a single S/PDIF connector.

7.1 adds two additional speakers to the more conventional six-channel (5.1) audio configuration.

Above seems mostly correct, but why do you ask?

*I can't find any reference to 7.1 though, only 5.1 (as in two front, two rear, center and subwoofer but not SIDE speaker support).

Here's more that the above is copied from: https://www.dolby.com/us/en/technologies/dolby-digital-live.html

Unless you are gaming and using a Home Theater setup with the SPDIF (TOSLINK) digital signal from the PC I'm not sure it matters.
