QUOTE(Matrix @ Jul 4 2012, 09:43 PM) If you can afford good 7.1 speaker. I am sure you can afford a good sound card...then this onboard jacks so many for what?? hehe.  QUOTE(knight_57 @ Jul 4 2012, 10:12 PM) for newer mobos it can automatically detect when u plug in jack and ask what is it for (e.g. front speaker, rear speaker, mic in) as long as proper driver is installed JACK DETECTION (although diff color are for diff speakers bt u can change it anytime) Thanks for the clarification green - front speakers blue - line in red - mic in black - rear speakers orange - center/sub i tin white ones are for side speakers basically if it's only 2 speakers green jack is enough So , the onboard sound is same as those Asus xonar ? both also same digital right ? suggest getting an onboard or invest more on sound card ? i mean future , if have extra $ for 7.1 speaker  haha  |
