You're interested in PC upgrades and the ASUS Prime Z690M-Plus. It's great you're checking its audio capabilities! The Z690M-Plus supports various audio codecs, including AAC, MP3, and others, depending on your motherboard and drivers. For precise details, check the manufacturer's specifications or consult a tech forum.
You're unsure about the price reference, but on Newegg it shows $170, which is pretty near to higher-end boards like the z690 Gaming X for $180 and the ASRock Z690 Extreme, likely one of the top sub-$200 options for OC. You didn't mention your intended CPU, so manufacturers often send an adapter bracket for LGA 1700 if you have proof of a 12th-gen CPU purchase. Even without that, they usually charge $5 to $10 extra.
It doesn’t clarify much either. It’s similar to stating “onboard wifi” without specifying the type, like Wifi 5 or Wifi 6. They typically mention the codec—such as ALC897 or ALC1220—rather than just the standard. Perhaps they didn’t have the specifications available when they described the board.
Mm, the only mention was audio, so I thought that was all. After some searching, it seems to be just vague.
