Is there not a separate line out which would be more appropriate for connecting speakers than the headphone socket? Normally sound cards (inbuilt or separate cards) have three main connections: line in/mic, line out (speakers) and headphone. The line out and speaker connectors may have different impedance characteristics suited to their main purpose. You can notice this in some cases by a difference in loudness - e.g. connecting some speakers to a headphone socket will result in very low volume levels.I have been conecting my speakers via the headphone socket up until now.
I presume that when you install one of these devices it appears as a new sound output device and you just select that in Windows or whatever application you use to route sound output to it.Now how to route sound to usb ?
Is [broken link removed] not even cheaper assuming that the headphone output is sufficient?[broken link removed] is probably about as cheap as youre going to get. Heres [broken link removed] closer for under 50e.
Well, the headphone socket will kind of work when moving the connection around, its just very loose.
I reckon that once you install the USB audio device you will see a new audio option in Start -> Control Panel -> Sounds and Audio Devices Properties -> Audio -> Sound playback - Default device etc. and once you select the new audio device as your default then all Windows applications that generate sound will work through that - i.e. the applications themselves may not have specific options for selecting the output sound device or be aware of USB at all and Windows will take care of it for you. However ask for advice about specific devices before buying just in case.then just figure out if the software I use to play mp3s (Philips Musicmatch) will output to usb.
