Am i able to insert 2 sound cards in my computer and use the multiple cards to connect to my speakers?

Windows by default has to choose one of the two cards or you can do that yourself, but then again it happens that one card cancels the other one for better performance on your system and less conflicts...I wanted to do something similar since I have a large speaker system, but then I knew it was not gonna happen to run both cards, So what I did is split the sound with Y stereo 3.5 mm splitters and change the sound card which gave me some static sound once using the splitters for a usb optical/3.5mm jack output and plug in as many splitters as needed, that helped me get rid of the static sound that really annoyed me.


Now I have even my home theater system hooked with my computer, plus a separate set of 5.1 computer speakers attached to the pc.


This is the usb sound device I use:

hi mate


yes you can but as allready mentioned you need to re-assign i.r.q,s so as not to conflict and its more problems than you will ever experience


its far easier to use your existing soundcard and connect a external soundcard such as the Icemat Siberia USB External 7.1 Sound Card -(http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduc...


however for a excellent aural experience with just a single soundcard why not try the Asus Xonar D2X 7.1 PCI-Express Sound Card(http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduc... is by far the best soundcard i have ever seen(and heard)


this card can far outperform most soundblaster cards and is a popular card with gamers aswell


good luck mate !
Reply:I guess the first question is, why would you want to do that? I think you will probably run into driver and IRQ conflicts if you try to run 2 sound cards, unless you have something like a specialized card for music studio recording.
Reply:Yes you are, but you may have to select which app uses which card. Its quite difficult, near impossible to get both cards working from one app (Such as a game). Maybe just use a splitter (Y connector) and use just the one card?
Reply:You can't have two cards working at the same time one knocks the other one off automatically.
Reply:not advisable. it will cause conflicts, simply buy multichannel sound card and speakers
