    Onboard audio help

    Is it possible to go from the onboard audio of a Intel D201GLY2 mobo to 4 channel audio without a soundcard?

    Looking at the link you give I don't think you can. Check out page 14 of this PDF.

    No, you can't get 4 channel sound out of this board.

    You could just split the audio outputs into two pairs. But i've no idea if that will achieve your end goal.

    I don't need surround sound I just want stereo. Is that considered 2 channel? Then I may be able to just split them.

    If that is all you are looking for, then yes just split the stereo output into 4 channels. I thought that you were looking for surround sound/true 4 channel audio. Sorry!

    What about sound quality? I am not an audiophile I just want something HU quality. My car has a stock Pioneer system that sounds pretty good. Will the onboard be comparable?

    Splitting the signal shouldn't effect the sound quality.

    Will the onboard be comparable?
    Should be - note I presume you're aware you'll need to amplify it.
