PCI sound card with audio amp built in?
<< < (2/3) > >>
SirPoonga:
what are you trying to do?  have something you can control teh volume of?   If so SB Live's have a header to hook up a volume up and down button.
Minwah:
I have a SoundBlaster 16PCI card which has a built-in amp.  Works very well and actually goes quite loud considering.  Volume is controlled by Windows volume control only (not hardware).
SirPoonga:
Thinking about it, technically there is a built in amp for all sound cards.  When you change volume in windows it tells the soundcard to amp.  It's a matter of if you can access the amp externally.

I have an old soundblaster (yes, original) ISA that has teh volume wheel on it.  that's what you had to do in the dos days....
