OT - Upgrading speaker system

3 posts by 3 people · 02 Nov 1999 - 03 Nov 1999

When I upgraded last spring to the PIII 450mhz, I put in a basic SB AWE 64 Soundcard. Now, I cannot find the instructions. Can I upgrade to a nice set of speakers with a Subwoofer? (It has three jacks on the card, (1) Speaker out, (2) Microphone, and (3) ????) OR Do I need to get a PCI128 Soundcard or SB Live or whatever to take advantage of a sub woofer??? THANKS !!!!!!!!! -- Tim A. Deatherage "Admitted Sim ***"

Just plug it into speaker out and your on your way. (the subwoofer plugs into sound card and smaller speakers connect to the subwoofer. at least on mine it does) 3= LINE IN most likely Well, the better quality the sound card the better your sound will be but you dont NEED to upgrade to use a subwoofer speaker system.

You should be fine. Just run the speaker out to your subwoofer, it should provide the watts and line outs for the sattellite speakers. Some games really come alive with the woof. as always...have fun! dave henrie
