24001 2001-11-08 23:58:00 hi

last night i hooked my computer up through my stereo amp to see what it sounded like. my question is, will the quality of my soundcard affect the sound quality when my amp is a digital home theatre receiver?

thanks

24002 2001-11-09 00:28:00 Yes it will, the stereo quality controls what happens to the input to generate the output, the quality of the input to your stereo is directly influenced by the quality of your soundcard. Guest (0)
24003 2001-11-09 01:47:00 Yeah righto then wot eva language ur speaking cos i don't understand that. Anyway if you want to get the best quality from your sound card and let your stereo do the work have your computers volume setting down low (bout quarter) so it doesn't distort and use the volume on your stereo but you will notice the bad sound quality when at high volume dat wot i do with my very expensive ESS audio card (not more like solid toilet tussues).

the short answer is yes it will. however, your end sound, will still have the quality that your speakers on your stereo produce, and you can alter the sound of course by using the graphic equalisers on your computer, and your stereo.
good luck,
Bob
