5.1 Vista

ummm well. You can probably buy a receiver or an amplifier to enhance sound

g4m3rof1337 · 01-22-2008, 09:47 AM

Yeah?
Would that be like an external speaker?
Can they hook to computers?

I'll check with RadioShack tomorrow.

I plan on buying a sound card, later but do all I can before hand.

Thanks.

If you bought an external receiver then it would connect via digital output (most likely), and then the sound card wouldn't be doing any of the work.

Radio Shack doesn't have many receivers, I would check out the local audio store or even Best Buy.

Alright, thanks.

If there is a program, that records my songs louder, would that work as well?

Thanks.

How would a 5'' amp work out?

What are you talking about? Amps aren't measured in length, they are measured in wattage.

Are you sure you aren't talking about a subwoofer?

I know, I was just telling the size so no one thought it was like a huge amp.

It's 10 watts.

When recording any audio the line in mixer determines the soiund level. But as you increase that you start to loose the original integrity and then start hearing the typical hissing sound. Adding an amp that handles larger home stereo type speakers over the pc type allows for higher wattage there.

There are some hefty pc speakers available for that as well if you have the big bucks to toss around. How about 720w speakers or something like that? http://www.aisolution.com/products/speakers.htm

How would a small 10 watt amp handle?

I am sure its reasonably priced.

This seems like a stretch, but I was wondering, can I hook 5.1 TV Speakers, to my current set up? Or a stereo.

Thanks.

The power house speakers there would seem to have their own amp like any other self contained speaker system. A 10 watt amp is next to nothing but a pair of small desktop speakers without a woofer there.

For using external speakers for one of the new large screen flat screen tvs you would have to patch from an input jack like the digital in from the digital output of a sound card like OMEGA mentioned before. You have to use that or patch to the 1/8" mini-plugs for front, rear, and center to then amplify the output with an external source.
