Asus unveils HDMI-equipped Xonar HDAV1.3 sound cards
 

In a radical departure from its wave of Eee PC-related releases, Asus has just announced a new addition to its line of Xonar sound cards. Dubbed the Xonar HDAV1.3, this latest entry into the sound card market appropriately boasts HDMI 1.3a compatibility and a little something extra for the video crowd in the form of a "Splendid HD" video processor. Asus claims the chip enhances colors and edges for high-definition video, reduces flicker, and even "recovers clarity" with low-resolution content.
