I am looking at getting a mobo with a ALC889 chip on it. According to realtek webby this chip can do:

Dolby® PCEE program™ (optional software feature)
DTS® CONNECT™ (optional software feature)
SRS® TrueSurround HD (optional software feature)
Fortemedia® SAM™ technology for voice processing (Beam Forming and Acoustic Echo Cancellation) (optional software feature)
Creative® Host Audio program (optional software feature)
Voice recognition and Realtek proprietary API (SkyTel) is supported (Optional software feature)

But the key thing is that it is Optional software feature. Does anyone know if this is a driver thing ie you buy drivers that come with these features or do you do somthing else?
