7.1 Sound Cards for the PC

Modern motherboards often feature a good sound chip already integrated into the board. However, to further enhance the audiophile experience and sound quality, professionals often opt for 7.1 sound cards, which are additionally connected to the system via the appropriate interface. These cards process and output both digital and analog audio signals.

Dedicated CPU for High Sound Quality in 7.1 soundcards

For users with higher demands on sound quality or performance, particularly when mixing, editing, and playing back audio signals, 7.1 sound cards with their own processor are popular as they effectively relieve the system's CPU.

Multi-channel sound cards can feature optical or coaxial digital inputs and outputs, are equipped with a microphone input, and usually have several analog jacks for connecting multi-channel sound systems, which are color-coded. The basis for audio signal processing in all sound cards is an A/D converter integrated into the chip.

In terms of quality, 7.1 sound cards can be differentiated by potential bit resolution, maximum sampling rate, noise behavior, frequency response, and shielding against interference signals. Those who enjoy surround sound can expect support for standards like Dolby Digital, DTS, or THX from a 7.1 sound card.

Modern computer games use audio standards that enable pinpoint location and very realistic soundscapes. A 7.1 sound card can intensify this impression and provide an impressive audio experience.
