DVI dont really have spare pins for sound, so unless its a non DVI compliant port...

This is the real thing (x1600).

So i´m still not convinced that regular cards got it.
Look at the Realtek drivers and you will see that there is only one drivers for all the HD ACL88X. YOu will find that there are not different drivers for a ACL880 or a ACL883, ACL885, ACL888. I think the driver you posted is for both the HD2XXX cards and the 690G chipset motherboards. As for the DVI port I have seen 2 DVI LCDs usin on one DVI port displaying 2 different images and it was not a extended desktop ether. For 5.1 sound it would need a lower number of pins then another DVI LCD so theres plenty of unused pins in the DVI port.
