Rumors has it that it has a 5.1 soundchip onboard. Do a Google search for "built-in HDMI and 5.1 surround audio", or go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radeon_R600 . But I haven't heard anything official about it. It's better to wait for a review on it anyway. For all we know it might overheat during gaming and cause stuttering sound.
