I want a sound card with (2) internal USB 3.0 connectors (1) for a 2.5Ghz headphone dongle [to hide a dongle from being on the front panel] I would like a quick key command to powercycle the USB in the event the dongle does not recognize the headphones (1) for the front I/O
Sound cards are WAY BETTER than onboard sound. The problem today is the video cards are to big to allow the installation of a sound card. And NO A EXTERNAL USB SOUND DEVICE IS NOT BETTER
The people who don't understand are the same ones who are using cheap speakers/headphones that don't offer any dynamic range so they can't hear what's actually going on to know what they're missing. Onboard audio sounds horrible in comparison. Personally I run an EVGA Nu Audio card with Klipsch desktop speakers and a 12" Klipsch 400w sub along with some Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro 250hom headphones. I also use several wireless headsets but when I'm listening to music I play through the discreet sound card.
i have a MSI RTX 4080 and a Soundblaster Z on my Tuff Z690 Plus D4 just Fine. I wont settle for anything less than that. Specially since i have Logitech Z5500 and a Sennheiser HD6xx. My first soundcard was the good old sound blaster live 5.1, upgraded to the audigy 2 ZS platinum, x-fi elite pro and downgraded to my present soundblaster Z due to the agp slot discontinued. MB sound is never going to be as good.
thanks, but what i need is an explanation to how to choose my gear by myself. how to choose a good sound card, a good speaker, a good headphone, etc. an introduction into audio .
When it comes to choosing audio gear like sound cards, speakers, and headphones, there are key factors to consider. For sound cards, ensure compatibility with your system and prioritize features like high-resolution audio support. With speakers, prioritize sound quality and consider factors like room size and placement. When choosing headphones, consider sound signature, comfort, and whether you need noise isolation or cancellation. Additionally, factor in your budget, read reviews, and if possible, try out the equipment before purchasing. By considering these aspects, you can make informed decisions and select gear that suits your needs and preferences.
@@Audio-Zone thanks for the tips, but the problem is i get "lost in the sauce" when i try to browse the different products, what does 5.1 mean? how does it differ to 7.1? what does the different labels on headphones mean? how can i know the sound quality -approximately- from labels (since my country doesn't allow tests on products except for checking if it works or not? basically i'm asking for audio 101, i keep noticing the different audio qualities but i still can't differentiate between a good and bad product until it's too late. thanks for the good work btw.
Sound cards are garbage ... too much emf inside the computer. There is a reason those haven't been a thing for 10+ years. Just go external with a grounded metal casing. Like any modern dac / amp.
You haven't got a clue mate. If you're a GAMER you'll knows it is not a garbage. In benefits of having the sounds cards that got it own processor sounds like creative sounds blaster do ? Gives us a quality sounds and gained a stable fps in the gameplay. Since it'll offload the audio processes for the CPU to have less stressing and perform more focusing into task for the gaming too.
@@callumhawksworth1845 Wtf. I really hope you are trolling. You know that either your headset, your usb sound card or your mainboard have a dedicated digital to analog conversion / amplification chip as well? What do you think that realtek driver is for?! No part of the audio processing chain happens on the cpu. So none of that will affect your fps. External is a external sound solution like a dac / amp combination or a a stack of a dac and amp. Which is the same as a sound card, just better quality and without signal intereference from all the components in your PC. Oh and also almost all external dacs can run without an extra driver and will actually improve performance by a tiny bit. I've been playing video games for over 15 years. Over 10 of them in eSport with a over 5 year career in semi-pro / pro teams.

buy a bigger motherboard. I still have 4 pci-e slots free, and 3 video card slots.
@@puffnstuff12 which sound should i get play games and listen to classical music? around 15 -20 euro budget. thanks:)

People that give audio advice should really know what a pop shield is
soundcards still exist?
External Sound Cards and DAC/Amp Combos are very popular. Internal ones are on their way out though. As some platforms don't even support them anymore
yeah, but this is some bullshit AI crap video.
Yes

@@callumhawksworth1845 Same thing. Just that there is more noise and no grounded case with a PCIe card.
bullcrap
Ok
Meh get a FiiO K7. Job done.
