Thread: Sound card help

  1. Default Sound card help

    So apparently I bought a motherboard that doesn't have a PCI slot and my sound card needs one. It's an HT Omega claro halo and I'd rather not return it, but I didn't even know people still used PCI slots. If I were to buy one of those PCI to PCI-express slot adapters would I lose any sound quality?

    If that wouldn't work does anyone know of some good high quality pci-e sound cards? Matching it up with some sennheiser pc350s.

    I think soundblaster 2.0 is enough because then you can get enough out of your DMI channels, even if you have to press the turbo button, to hear at least four or five wave files at once as the DooM Guy lays waste to cacodemons.

    I find onboard audio to be quite good enough and haven't messed with a sound card in years.

    Onboard audio still pales in comparison to a dedicated sound card.

    My apologies, I was just implying that we would somehow obtain older versions of personal computers with the turbo function (button) and use methods that society frowns on as a method to obtain them. I also used an acronym associated with a unit I've worked for and gave a hypothetical timetable based on using IZE method and thinking criminally, bunch of other 101 shit. Anyway, IDSPISPOPD, they'll never see you coming.

    Oh right, then I threw in a sort-of-understandable-reference-if-you're-not-too-high about framing you and taking credit based on my work. I think that's about it.

    I received a telepathic vision from the stanley burrell of the future, showing me what I needed to do to get this sound card to work, should have it up and running by tomorrow. He told me to tell you to buy yourself a drink.

    Hahaha! Stanley Burrell of the past was responding to your telegram with some barely legible note about his new phonograph. But that things is actually a white noise time bender that summoned the me, from five minutes from now, to. Drink. IPA.

    A transient thank you.
