How Much Boost in Sound from a dedicated Sound Card?
I have just bought ADVENT ADE-210C 2.1 computer speakers for £35, for a reasonably expensive set as these you would expect a decent sound output, quite clear, but at full volume (speakers and windows – im not that dumb!) they really aren’t that loud, is it the speakers that are the problem, or the sound card? I have Realtek HD Audio ALC268 and someone told me a Sound Card would make it significantly louder, but as I have a laptop I would need an ExperessCard54 Sound Card, and the cheapest one of these I found was for £50! And I don’t know if this is justified, advice would be appreciated muchly!
I have an Acer Travelmate 5520G running Vista Home Premium, I think the other specs are irrelevant but will post if needed!
hi mate
i have to agree with peter,although your soundcard is responsible for your audiop production your speakers are what produces the audio sound and if your using a pair of 2.1 speakers they are not gonna be the best sound around
the realtek sound onboard sound devices are probally the best intergrated audio systems avavlible and connected to a decent 5.1 or 7.1 speaker system you should get a excellent sound reproduction
the CREATIVE LABS Speaker GigaWorks Pro Gamer G500 from http://www.misco.co.uk/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=136581&CatId=0 are a excellent speaker system and producing a whopping 310 Watts RMS of power,this is more than enough for any p.c set up
for a more inexpensive speaker system then the Sony 5.1 Speaker System from http://www.misco.co.uk/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=295950&CatId=0 is a excellent product,and although much cheaper than the gigaworks speakers this still pushes out 50watts r.m.s power,and this is more the level ideal for a home enviroment
hope this helps
good luck mate !

Scrubs – The Complete First Season $9.95 The sitcom may be flatlining, but as long as there are fresh and original series like Scrubs, the prognosis isn’t entirely negative. Created by Bill Lawrence, Scrubs is an interns’-eye view of hospital life and the torturous, tragic, and triumphant route to becoming a doctor. The eminently likeable Zach Braff heads the cast as “newbie” J.D., whose years of medical school haven’t quite prepared him… |

Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers $1.98 The series premise continues to stretch so thin it could dissipate. This time, Michael Myers chases his unfortunate niece around, then goes after a family who happen to be living in his former home. This is slasher-ism at its most cynical, and a thoroughly unpleasant, unimaginative, and unredeeming movie. Donald Pleasence, the one holdover from the original film, looks like he’d rather be anywhere… |
