Speaker Question?

Flash_AAA · 08-19-2004, 04:45 AM

I just bought a Sound blaster live card but have a question. I have LCD speakers but its plugged into the mobo. Is it possible to have one in the mobo and the other in the Sound card?

Not sure what you mean but i think you can

I want my speakers and Monitor speakers to work in unison. I don't want to disable the LCD Speakers. I want to know if i can have the LCD plugged in the intergrated mobo sound and my speakers in my SB live card at the same time.

I dunno about your onoboard but you can definitely do it (easily) with the sound card. Just plug the monitor in one line-out and the speakers in another. Of course another way of doing things is getting a y-splitter

I think what he meant is that he has an onboard soundcard, if your gonna put a SB audio card you have to disable the onboard first and install the SB sound card.

Of course if you're doing something like voice chatting it might be a good idea too so you can have separate volume controls for chats and games
