Just a thought

Are there any sound cards out there that will let you send an audio out signal to two places at once?

For example: I have logitech 5.1 speakers for my computer. I also have a kick ass stereo system. I have a tone of music on my computer and normally when i want to hear a song on the stereo i burn a cd-rw. I need a sound card that will let me hook up my 5.1 and send a really good audio signal to my stereo.

Are there any cards that can do that, with out spending 100+ dollars?

If you are using stereo jacks, then you can just get a splitter. They have them at Radio Shack, Best Buy, and most any other electronics stores. Or if your motherboard has a bracket for S/PDIF you can use that to output to your stereo and the stereo jacks to output to the 5.1 setup.

 

For example,

I'm not sure if 1/8" is the correct size, but they are pretty common in whatever size you need.

 

Thanks for that info! I have used spliters before and have noticed a decrease in sound quality. I was hopeing for a card that had two audio outputs. Oh well.

thanks again,
