Topic: 7.1 HD Sound

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

I have a new PC with an Intel 7.1 HD sound chipset onboard. Should I use this rather than the Hercules as my sound card.

What would I need to do to set it up correctly. i.e do I need to link back to input on PC from the Herc etc...

It is better to use Hercules sound card IMO.
 

Why is that, ALF?
Just curious !
 

I have yet to see an onboard sound card that had "professional" sound quality. I am sure in the future that may change but not currently

Better dynamics of sound :)
on board sound has electronic interference, that's why USB cards are better and everyone use them ;)
 

Sound IntelĀ® High Definition Audio 7.1
3 front audio ports, 6 rear analog audio ports & 2
rear digital audio ports

Thats what the PC has and a mutidude of config settings

It just that I get a real shitty hiss when my VDJ software gain is anything more than 0

You can't gain over 0dB with any sound card because you will have shape of sound and distortion, for that you should use external mixer.
