Which has nothing to do with whether they are "copper" or not. -- "I wear the cheese, it does not wear me."

Once you have digital sound inpuy/output, the software can send out any sound format it wants because the cable carries raw data. The computer's hardware won't know if the signal is 5.1 of 7.1. So your "ad" showing a motherboard capable of 7.1 is misleading. It should just claim digital audio (like Apple does). On the computer side, the format of the sound is softwre driven (or often raw data from the DVD is sent out). On the amplifier side, because the logic is implemented in firmware or hardware, then sound formats matter because the device is coded to accept only specific sound formats, so it is possible for a computer to send out a sound formst which the amplifier doesn't understand.

Go to NewEgg and figure out the price. Add ~$70 for assembly. You have the total price. For good measure, I suggest you select a 1TB drive instead of 640 GB. It's only $10 more.+

I'm not at all interested in some 'computers shop' putting together what they think will all work together. Been there, done that, used to make and sell them myself. Now I buy from brand name companies that stand behind their product and will be open tomorrow. So just point me to the model of the Dell, HP or Sony that can do what you claim, and I'll go look. Otherwise, go back to your hobby stuff. |
