Using the first three options to a receiver does not require a soundcard as the audio information is procesed by the receiver. via hdmi along with video from video card via dvi along with video from video card ![]() There are four ways you can export sound. I hope i have been able to put across my doubts clearly, but my apologies if they sound very naive Thanks for your patience in reading this long harangue What would be a good home audio setup in this case? Onboard-Realtek+ Dolby Digital 5.1 Home Theater (like Onkyo HTS 3400) or A good sound card (Xonar Essence SXT)+generic 5.1 PC speakers (Logitech Z506) ? If this is so- that even good sound cards don't add value when using S/PDIF out then I will try your patience by one more question. What I have learned after several hours of research is that when passing signals over S/PDIF, it's the DAC chip of receiver that does analog-digital conversion.īut does this mean a Sound-Card doesn't add any value if I use S/PDIF? Also is it true for even an audiophile card like Xonar Essence SXT? Now my question is- Will I get improved audio performance if I also install a sound card on my motherboard? Here is my little question: My motherboard(Asus p8Z mPro) has Realtek® ALC892 Audio codec and I plan to connect it to a 5.1 Home Theater using S/PDIF.
