    General Laptop Audio Questions

    I just upgraded from onboard audio to a decent soundcard - the soundcard on my thinkpad was horrible - the audigy 2 zs (http://www.creative.com/products/pro...&product=10769) sounds a lot better but I think it can get even better

    It has the 3 standard 5.1 outputs (front/rear/sub&center - typically green/black/orange or pink)

    My input to my HU is via the PAC AAI-NIS (http://www.pac-audio.com/products/aai.htm#aainis) - it gives 2 sets of RCAs (standard red/white - left and right inputs)

    What is the best way to get the best sounding audio with this setup - right now i'm just outputting from just one of the outputs (the green one) from the audigy card and inputting into the pac aai-nis with a converter to the 2 RCA plugs and although it sounds good I know this can't be the best way to do this

    with that being said i'd like to keep it under $100 if possible for if it's worth it i'd go higher

    using the pac invertor, thats the best way to do it. just use the green audio out plug and set the speaker settings in the software to 2 speaker stereo.

    you noticed a difference in sound quality?

    it could just be psychological - but in my opinion it does sound better - much more clear and the bass seems to hit harder
