You get stereo > I have the DVD > module on the stock video card (more questions about that on another > post) with a DVD ROM drive and am trying to improve the sound over the > tiny Koss speakers I got at St. Vinnies. It will be improved, but will be in stereo > If I want real sorround sound > do I need an audio card? Absolutely, since 5.1 sourround requires encoding (on the production end) and decoding (on your end). > If so what would you advise I look for? Does > changing form OS 9.2.2 to 10.2.x change anything? If you're going to stay in OS 9 for a while, see if you can grab one of those SoundBlaster "Live" for Mac cards. Full support for the 9.x at a reasonable price ($50-$60 U.S.). However, for OS X look into an M-Audio "Revolution" 7.1 card, which has built in surround decoding as well as full support (I/O) for uncompressed audio; and it's reasonable in price, too. The Soundblaster "Live" has no OS X support, unless someone else is doing a hack (that would be cool!) > > Thanks, > Anand > > B&W G3 400MHz Best regards, Dana -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
