Hello all,
I've been thinking about a surround sound system for my computer. My motherboard has onboard audio, according to the manual "RealTek ALC658C 6-channel software audio codec" (whatever that means), and besides a few crackles when I listen to music, it has worked well.
-Will my onboard audio support any sort of surround sound?
-Is there any major differences between 5.1, 6.1, and 7.1?
-What's a good midrange sound card if my onboard audio doesn't support surround?
-What should I look for in surround sound speaker systems?
Whew, that's a lot of questions... good luck
