Gigabyte Aorus B450 I Pro Wifi review




We're going small today as we review the Gigabyte Aorus B450 I Pro Wifi, based on the new B450 chipset it is aimed at for Ryzen processors, and in specific the new Ryzen 2000 / Zen+. And with a 17x17cm, mini-ITX form factor this motherboard is small, offers good value and really has it all you need and require.

That should be possible, however, you'd forfeit the analog MIC. The Realtek driver suite allows you to reassign the analog jacks, so one is left right, another for center and sub and then the last jack you would use for rear left/right. Then for MIC use the internal HD AUDIO connector to your chassis connector. Not ideal though that though work.
Depending on your receiver, the easier thing would be using HDMI, and use the SPDIF passthrough for Dolby/DTS 5.1

Thanks for clarifying. That was the sole reason for me not upgrading yet. My surround sound setup only has analog inputs and I don't use MIC in the living room. This ITX machine is only powering the TV for movies, browsing, Netflix and casual big screen gaming.
But almost all of the modern ITX boards only come with just three jacks and until now was unable to get confirmation that the outputs can be configured through software. Kudos from Belgium !

@AzzKickr
Have you considered picking up an external sound card like a Xonar U7 MKII, External, 7.1 channels?

Thanks @Hilbert Hagedoorn ! One question though and this may seem an odd one, but I'm currently still on an A-series FM2 APU / ITX combo and have an analog home theater setup connected to it via the 5.1 jacks.
So I'm wondering if these modern ITX boards are still able to produce analog 5.1 sound since there's only 3 jack connectors instead of 5 ?
