Is it possible to run 2 sound cards simultaniously on a PC using the same source input?

It is possible, in theory.





But why would you want to do that?





If you want to be able to hook multiple audio systems too it, just get a headphone splitter. Save yourself the money and hassle.

No. You must have two inputs.
Reply:in the past i've ran a total of 3 (+1 daughterboard).. now i run 2, but if i turned the onboard one i'd have 3..





errm if the onboard one is rubbish, sure u can upgrade.





i only use 2 for music.. one is a mixer.. one a soundcard.. other than for music making i can't see why ppl would use more than one.





with games etc, you only can use ONE at a time.
Reply:no, the computer will not recognise either of the sound cards and you will not get any sound, or if you do, it will not sound right. and you can't connect 2 sound cards to the same input port anyway!
Reply:yup it is possible if you have the slots available for each of your sound card.





but why use two anyway? i assume that you can't use them at the same time cause for sure the other one will cancel out the other if you use them at the same time. haven't you noticed that you are not able to use the built-in sound card in your motherboard once you have installed a new one that produces good sound quality unlike the one built-in during manufacturing process of your board?





to be honest... i have not seen a motherboard that had two soundcard slots on it. (^_^)
