ASRock MB is still broken after 2 years!

More then 1 year ago I 
have my last contact with ASRock and they told me that HDMI port 2 did 
not work and it was a Intel driver issue. Last month in February of 2017
 ASRock delivered a new firmware for the Japanese MegaChip that is part 
of the HDMI 2.0 converter. After this update the HD sound started to 
work. So yes it was a failure on ASRock side and not Intel. BUT! the 
sound drops constantly when playing over HDMI 2.0. So it still not work 
and 2 years have passed. Intel have also delivered updates in February 
2017 but the last 6 months this updates from Intel have been game 
related updates and nothing with sound. 

I believe that ASRock 
just now do not care about there customer and the fact we paid a premium
 price for getting HDMI 2.0 that never worked! This is not acceptable 
and I recommend that you should be extra careful when consider buying 
from ASRock again.

It will never be fixed! And I could bought a more cheaper MB with HDMI 1.4 and skip all hours I spent on this.
