Ok... assuming the audio inputs can be changed to outputs... you lose analog inputs which isn't great either.
I guess I missed where amd has released apus on normal skus on this gen. But still, I don't like being forced to buy a specific cpu just because the uber expensive mobo cheaped out on adding outputs...
But if that was the case, you'd need a cpu with an gpu (who is going to put a ryzen apu in a topend mobo??)... so really scummy. How the hell is my $140 asrock have proper 7.1 analog and optical but not this pos lol
compression with surround isn't really the issue. it's that the newer dolby/DTS stuff needs more bandwidth. imo, 2.1 is more than enough for 95% of pc users.
wait... the specs say 7.1 audio... but it only has stereo out?
Your mobo doesn't have optical? I thought that's pretty standard on everything except basic models.
It's just perception. It's the some bullshit logic why sale taxes are not included in the price and calculated at purchase.... makes the product seem cheaper than it actually is.
That's just a list of games not worth playing /s
Doesn't change that cpus haven't come with ftpm packaged until tpm 2.0 which was barely a decade ago. If you wanted TPM before, you had to have a motherboard with a tpm header and purchase a proprietary tpm module, even then most were only for 1.2, so even then you cant make an older cpu compatability with win 11.
Personally i would use a vm to seperate work from Personal shit.
First off. Windows 11 requires TPM2.0 introduced in 2014. Second, the first consumer cpu to include ftpm wasn't until 2015.
Other than Adobe shit. What apps do you need that can't either be replaced by a native app or ran in wine?
Except it's time consuming and requires you to get up and physically insert the disc. Plus off hdd, you can easily stream it anywhere...
