Sounds cards.

January 28th, 2020

Hello, i have a very good speaker system (logitech z5500) best in the market basicly. i was wondering, if i got a new soundcard would that boost performance, noticabley? i have a pretty crappy one i suspect, as it came with my comp.
any help will greatly be appreciated

Answer #1
Usually they do make it alot better in sound experience, but allow me to make a suggestion.:

Read some of the reviews, Most people think its legit.
Just look around on newegg im sure you will find one that will fit your needs.

If your motherboard is only a few years old, chances are you have all the audio capabilty you need off your PC, and a new sound card won’t get you much
Most newer motherboards use a very good audio chip. . . And you can get front sides, front center, far-rear sides, a sub-woofer audio outputs (5.1) . . . Maybe even mid-left-&-right sides audio outputs (7.1). . . Add a center far rear speaker for good transition effects, and you have 8.1 . . . For 5.1 use RCA cables. . .For 7.1 and up, need an optic cable connection
The problem is output audio power. . . . Most PC desktop woofers will distort very fast at any kind of amplitude. . . No matter what is claimed, they are not very good. . . I don’t buy them . . . (Touch the desktop speaker sides, if the sides feel vibrating, they are distorting the sound)
For 5.1 or 7.1, some receiver is needed to connect to. . . Lots of cheap 5.1 receivers around, but he 7.1 and 8.1 will cost you a lot. . .. Unlikely that your logitech z5500 will have this 5.1 and up capability . . . (I haven’t looked it up, as I don’t like anything Logitech)
I connect the PC output to a 5.1-100-watt/ch -Radioshack receiver, and that to Yamaha NS-777, etc, speakers . . . The Yamaha speakers were cheapest at – BH Photo Video, Focus Camera, Abes of Maine, etc
My Radioshack receiver is not that good, but I got them at 25% of cost, and they will do. . (Radioshacks and other like cheapies get a little current starved at low frequency drum beats. . . The drums don’t sound real, but sure beat the sound from those PC desktop speakers. . . BTW -A real-good receiver can easily cost $1000-$2000, and that’s too much for just around the PC setup) . . .The Yamaha’s are really good sounding. . . I have two PC setups, in different homes, and same sound system installed on both

ty both. BaHa, i already have great spseakers that dont distort and logitedch are best ^^ mine was �120 of ebay
Answer #4
re to – – – comment
All speakers are designed per the Small-Thiele equations, equations that have been around since the late 1950’s, when the college researchers (Small-&-Thiele) developed them. . . . These equations only address three kinds of speaker cabinets – sealed, vented, and exponential horn . . These equations have no place for vibrating cabinets. . . . In fact, high-quality cabinets will use a special damping material in the wood to minimize cabinet vibrations. . . More over, the high-quality cabinets have inside damping material to block standing-waves from developing, and this works only if the damping material thickness is at least one-third of the wave-length of the standing wave.
So, any speaker where the cabinet vibrates – often you can feel it under your fingers – is definitely distorting, as this vibration introduces unwanted harmonics . . .In fact, in a vibrating cabinet, standing waves are likely occurring, and this you clearly do not want, as the Small-Thiele equations are null-&-void then . . . Put a Mic in front of the vibrating speaker and an miniature accelerometer on the cabinet, make a Fourier transform of the real-time data, compare, and you will see the distortion taking place. . . . .To do it “hearing-wise” – you have to have some training to notice the difference – or play the speakers side-by-side with good speakers.
As indicated above, I have no use whatsoever for the logitedchs or any other PC desktop speakers
