I have an E1505 notebooks, with all the added perks save for the sound card (It has the simple integrated audio from sound blaster). My goal is to have a surround sound system for my house (or at the least my living/dining/entry way). I would like to run it out of my laptop and want high quality music as well as access to the large music library. Im pretty confused looking over sound cards and externals, not sure as to which one would work best for what I have. I dont want to slow my laptop down much, not sure if a sound card will cause that, onboard or external. Asking around I cant find many people with intimate knowledge and all websites I have found seem to give mixed answers.
Is an onboard sound card better or an external for notebooks?
if you want to have high quality surround sound being controlled from your laptop you can go a few different routes....depending on your budget, you can setup a sound system and simply use the laptop as your source....hooking the laptop into the sound system as either a dvd player or some other "periphial"...if you want your sound to actually come from the laptop and just play out to a speaker system you will probably have to upgrade the sound card on your laptop.....if the built-in sound supports surround sound then you just need to get the appropriate speakers and hook them up, but most laptops are not setup for sound....mostly because they are protable and what you want to do is set it up as a base station.....best bet is to plugin the laptop via external speaker or headphone hookup into a sound system.
