Surround sound setup?

Postby Midnight_LS1 » Sat Jun 18, 2005 10:50 am

I'm building a custom computer and I don't know what sound card to get.  
I want to get a 5.1 type surround sound system like with 4 speakers and uses a PCI interface.  

This way when I use my homebuilt cockpit, I could hear the main landing gear being lowered behind me or the spoilers deploying and disturbing the rushing air over the wings.
And blast the engines to redline  ;D

Any suggestions?

Midnight,
With 5.1 sound you have 5 speakers and 1
subwoofer, therefore 6 speakers.
Most new mobos have 5.1 integrated onboard these days. Mine does and it sounds excellent!
All it took was a few tweaks in Audio config, and about 1 mile of wires...

ONE mile? They where skimpy! My DFI has got 5.1 onboard and its fine. Speakers are Creative T5900 - very nice too!
