I don't believe you can do anything more than 5.1 with optical.

Thanks OP, I may have to take a drive this weekend. My server is aching for an upgrade I was looking closely at B75 boards since I only need one 6Gbps SATA port for the OS SSD.

Whoops, looks like they changed the deal. It varies every couple weeks as a new ad comes out - I think it was $50 last month, but maybe it was only $40.
Anyway, I guess it doesn't work on that Z68...

You should not have any problems. The Realtek audio & LAN on the motherboard as well as the HD4000 graphics from the CPU are all supported. With Gigabyte, you don't even need to flash the BIOS with a...

Cool. Usually I get the Z77-DS3H, but if the B75 works just as well that's fine with me!

I have almost this same combo in my HTPC and it's been great. I have the B75-D3H, and I can't really figure out the difference. Regardless, definitely recommended.
