| 1371539 | 2014-03-29 17:15:00 | Just wish to experiment: 1. If I wish to add another PCI sound card to my Win7 PC with on-board sound, will this configuration work? 2. Will this new device(sound-card) cause any conflicts with the on-board sound? 3. What do I need to do in order to get both the devices work together hand in hand? Thanks. |

| 1371541 | 2014-03-29 20:09:00 | According to here (social.technet.microsoft.com) It seems to be OK. Unfortunately I don't have a sound card to try out. |

| 1371542 | 2014-03-29 20:17:00 | Looks like that'll only let you select one or the other. Not use both at the same time | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1371543 | 2014-03-29 21:36:00 | When you say work together what do you mean? Output the same audio at the same time? In which case I ask why not just use a splitter cable on the output of one card? If you mean both function at the same time with separate audio streams on each then I don't see why not, if the software you are running supports selecting different outputs you can choose which card you want to use for each software... |

| 1371544 | 2014-03-29 21:56:00 | Maybe I'm a bit slow this morning but I cannot think of any reason I would wish to listen to two seperate audio streams at the same time. | CliveM (6007) | ||
| 1371545 | 2014-03-29 23:27:00 | Just for experimenting sake: I would like to be able to have to mic inputs (one from each card) and two pairs of speakers connect to the each of the cards so that I can have different source of sounds from the two mics. |

| 1371546 | 2014-03-30 00:02:00 | Or, is it possible to have 2 mics plug in to the same sound card and split the output to the left & right speakers? The above configuration will only need one sound card. |

| 1371547 | 2014-03-30 00:15:00 | You could do that using the stereo line-in jack and connect a mic to each channel but most likely you would also need a mic preamp to get the correct signal level as the line-in does not have one and the mic jack is only one channel. | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 1371548 | 2014-03-30 21:08:00 | Win can have 2 different mic sources & 2 different audio outputs For eg : Skype setup will let you choose which mic source & what output device , so it does work Whatever software you use will need to have the option to choice what device you use. |
