Is it me or does Auzentech appear to be the most innovative sound card manufacturer around? It seems like they are up to their old tricks again by announcing the Auzen X-Fi HomeTheater 7.1, which will support HDMI 1.3, HD-audio codecs, and EAX 5.0. Finally, one card to rule them all.
From the press release:
The Auzen X-Fi HomeTheater 7.1 accepts video from either an internal or external connection, mixes it with digital audio, and outputs the combined video and lossless multichannel audio via a single HDMIâ„¢ 1.3 port. Moreover, the internal connection will exclusively support upcoming NVIDIA products, to create the ultimate in audio and visual entertainment
Basically, you will be able to connect your video card to your sound card and have one cable going to your receiver that will support everything you could possibly need for a HTPC. No price has been announced and do not expect it to be cheap. The release date is September 2008, which might be a little late to the party, considering that Asus should be releasing a similar sound card shortly.
