Want to add 6 sound cards to single PC?
ive had an issue where i wanted to connect multiple devices to my computer's sound card. Using multiple sound cards will be a waste of money, and probably wont even work well.





My suggestion (and I did this), was purchase 'headphone splitters' (also known as Y Spiltter).. they are about $5 USD i think. http://altura.speedera.net/ccimg.catalog... , belkin makes some nice ones.





Plug one into a sound card, and then plug more into the new slots where needed. I suggest you get gold plated ones, and made by a decent brand, such as Belkin, or sony (though may be expensive - so see what your local electronics store suggests).. becuase sound quailty MAY be lost in some cases.





Good luck.
Reply:You dont need 6 sound cards just to do that. They have single sound cards now adays that have mutiple line-out (sound) outputs.
Reply:what the other person said, also, most computers dont have 6 extra ports on the motherboard to add on. best option is to just get a spliter.
Reply:You won't be able to since you will run into port conflicts unless you know how to change them, which i'm assuming you don't know how to since you asked a question like this.
Reply:Basically you can add as many sound cards as you can as long as there's an extra PCI slot in your motherboard but I think you can use only one at a time.
Reply:It won't work as you don't have enough I/O addresses, IRQ and DMA available..





The splitter is a good solution...

Six sound cards are a mistake. If you need to make a home studio. Then all you is Creative Audigy 2 ZS Video Editor or EMUs 1820 M, EMU 0404. Professionals uses these.





And you dont need six different programs. All you need is Cakewalk Kinetic or Soundscape or Cakewalk Home Studio or Emulator X, Or Steinberg Cubase SX OR Adobe Audition. Any one Will do.
Reply:why???? I don't see the reason, and good luck with that, just don't see that working
Reply:1. simply purchase six USB speakers, each one will act as a sound card, then you can listen to what ever you want,.





2. you can purchase 5 different PCI sound cards, cause the motherboards as I think doesn't have more than 5 PCI slots,





3. purchase the Creative Audigy 2 ZS Video Editor or EMUs 1820 M, which is for audio editing.





4. the cheapest way is to have a mixing software which can handle 8 inputs and select which to output to a speaker at a time.

3. A screen should pop up titled DirectX Diagnostic Tool


4. Click on the Sound tab





I hope I helped. At least a little.
Reply:the simplest way is to look. seriously open the pc and take a look. if you cannot find any markings on the card or if it is built into the motherboard then use the motherboard markings example (Abit-AN7 ect) and look the specs up on the net. this has the added advantage of giving you other inbuilt devices such as video and or lan usb's etc. If however the former is true and your card is "an add in card" or (daughter board) then simply unscrew the securing screw (with the machine off of course) and examine the board for markings, if no markings can be found then simply put in the chip numbers you can find. this should result in giving you the name of the card you have in your machine. As suggested one of the most common sound devices is indeed the ac97 but there are many more. it can be disasterous to assume so find out.


Once you have the information on your motherboard and it has given you the sound device name, you may find drivers for the device on the manufacturers web site or what are called (3rd party device drivers) from download .com. Example :- in your browser type the following -motherboard specification abit AN7 ,,,, your browser will then take you to the abit site and you can see the specs and act on information recieved. it may help to make a printout of the specs page and place it into an envelope taped to the inside of your machine.
Reply:Common onboard sound devices are AC97 or Realtek.

2. On the left hand side click, "View System Information"





3. Click the "Hardware" tab..





4. Click "Device Manager"..





5. I think the rest should be self explainatory..
Reply:During start-up, you will see a command click Del. Click Del to enter BIOS and you will able to view everything about the motherboard you are using. From temperatures to details of every single component on your motherboard.
Reply:on the desktop right-click 'My Computer' -%26gt; 'Manage' -%26gt; on the left pane choose 'Device Manager' In the right pane there should be a 'Display Adapter' and further down a 'Sound, video and game controller' those should do the trick.

if there's no way to turn up the volume on the computer, then you should seriously change your computer.i have never heard of a laptop that doesnt have sound, if you just got it, get it traded in.

I have a Asus P5k-Deluxe (I think). And it came with some HD-Audio build onto the motherboard. My last ASUS I also used the onboard Audio.

Is a sound card really worth it?
It should only make a difference if you can tell the difference between wav files and mp3 files.
Reply:or if you plan to use the special features of the card. Lot of cards not can do some swanky, or at least claim to do it for example i think my sound card can turn mp3s into pure gold. Others come with breakout boxes that give attackers chickenpox and your girlfriend and std
