Means that it cannot pass audio through HDMI and you must rely on analog or optical.

Yes, 1.3 and up

It can only do 2.0 PCM if I remember correctly

AMD AM2/AM2+, DDR2 RAM

Thank you!
I'd recommend getting a cheap ATI Radeon HD 5xxx series card(5670 as an example for around 100$), as it will pass audio and video. Just change the default audio out to the "ATI HDMI Output" and you are pretty well good to go.

Cheers.
