Want to overclock my soundcard..........

No, just kidding....but thought this was funny......
"Due to the lack of overclockable components on my system (apart from graphics card and RAM, but then I can only change timings to higher values (not good) or change the frequency from 667MHz to 800, which, last time I tried, stopped the system even from POSTing) and the fact that none of the soft overclocking programs work on my board, I've thought about overclocking sound. I have an integrated IDT HD audio 5.1, and I was wondering if I could overclock it. I don't care what the result is, I just want to be able to say "I have faster sound than you do." (even though it won't affect the "speed" of sound).

Anyone know of any software that can overclock sound cards? "

Most OS's have options for OC'ing soundcard.

Although not to confuse people, Its more commonly known as the volume

LOL is this similar to overclocking mice?

Technically, if you put the speakers under water would you not be making the sound travel faster? Since the speed of sound in water is faster than the speed of sound in air?

For a very short period of time, yes
