So, it has the nVidia MCP for audio, but uses the Realtek chip for output? WTF does that mean? Is it using the MCP or the Realtek? Or both? 😕
 
The realtek chip is just used for DAC (Digital to Analog Conversion). The sound processing is by NVIDIA's MCP-T southbridge with Soundstorm.
 
I see. So is there any difference in performance between the Shuttle mobo with the Realtek chip and a full-blown nForce2 board that doesn't use that chip? Or do they all use that? Haven't done much reading on the MCP.....
 
They all use another chip for DAC - thus the difference in audio quality between different nForce2 boards. I forget who is supposed to have the best, though...
