I've been reviewing some of the boards from Abit(nf7-s), Asus (A7N8X deluxe 2.0), and Epox (8RDA+) and the only one that says it has "soundstorm" is Asus. The others only say they have realtek ALC650. So I'm trying to find out if all of these boards really have the soundstorm audio.
Also, I read that the Asus A7N8X Deluxe has some sound issues with the soundstorm. Were these fixed in the 2.0 version of the mobo?
Thanks for any help.

actually the only 1 of those boards that is soundstorm certified is the NF7-s...i don't know why asus is spreading around that lie about having soundstorm audio...but have a look for yourself...

Thanks for the link, I looked on nvidia.com, just must have missed it. I'm pretty sure Asus does have soundstorm, they're just not "soundstorm certified"? .Maybe because all the problems they were having with it? I dunno. Thanks for the link again.

if it is not soundstorm certified then it is not soundstorm audio...they should call it 6 channel audio like all of the other manufacturers who do not have soundstorm certification...in this case i am a little angry that it seems asus is trying to mislead customers...

Choose among the motherboards with the MCP-T southbridge (with the exception of Chaintech 7NJS, uses CMedia Audio) and don't put too much emphasis on the certification.
