but it wont sound better coz monitors have shite speakers.

I didn't know the 6950 had audio on it. I thought it just had audio pass through.

It does have to do a lot with speakers. My tv/monitor has pretty good speakers, so I like to think. I can't tell the difference from them and my headphones. Speaker quality makes a difference. I do have surround sound speakers I am trying to find a good cheap used receiver to use. Then I might notice a difference.

The goal was never to use the old sound card for a sound card. It was to see if it would work for FUN.

Also. This soundcard is really old. It was pulled out of a p3 computer I have had for 10 years. I was getting rid of my old computers and decided to make this post about it. Then to play with it. Now it too is going to will join its p3 mother.
