All,
After finishing the PC build, OC'ing, tweaking, RAID'ing and getting cooling sorted i'm now looking at ways to further squeeze some performance out of my rig.
One resource that i am currently utilising is the 7.1 onboard sound to power my Philips 5.1 system (PC specific). The system uses 3 mini jacks (orange, black, green) into the MOBO outputs and a Realtek HD audio driver.
I'd like to take this processing task away from the board onto an internal soundcard, i've been looking into various X-Fi based cards but there seems to be a difference in connectivity at the back of the card.
Could someone explain what these differnces are and which would work with my 5.1 surround for gaming and Mp3 listenage?
The X-F1 gamer is an example that caught my eye and has the three jacks (different colours).
