What Are Good Speakers For This Mobo's

[adamp2p]

The A7N8X uses an onboard Realtek® ALC650 audio CODEC that lets you enjoy high-quality 6-channel audio without having to buy advanced sound cards.

What is a good cheap solution (at newegg)?

Thanks!

Hard to say since audio can a very subjective thing. Speakers are greatly affected by the furniture and room in which you use them as well.

My main recommendation is to look for a system with a subwoofer that has a wooden cabinet.

Power doesn't mean jack. If the design is good, then the sound will be there for ya.

Best to listen to them with the kind of music/audio you'll be listening to.

good luck...

Solution to what?

You've got digital audio processing. Just get a nice set of [compatible] speakers.
Thanks for the input.

I guess what I am asking for is somebody who has this board to make a recommendation. :D

I initally responded incorrectly so I edited my post.

Well I cannot hear all channels through my Creative Inspire 5.1 5200 Speakers, so that is why I am asking for a recommendation.

does this mobo have like 1 space for each speaker, like how the audigy ex has 1 hole for each, or does it only have 1 hole for all the speakers?

that&#39; means 1 4 mic, 1 for speakers, and 1 for input (stuff like keyboards, guitars, stuff like that). it&#39;s just like all other onboard sound. u don&#39;t need anything fancy. the best sound quality is when u have a separate hole for each speaker. like if u have a 6 piece speaker set, and u have a 6.1 surround sound sound card, each speaker goes into each hole on the sound card.

My Leadtek/WinFast mobo has on-board digital audio and when it is used, it utilizes the audio out, audio in, and mic input jacks to connect to your speaker system.

Maybe your mobo&#39;s website or manual can be of more help.

/that&#39;s all I&#39;ve got

Thats not exactly right...each speaker does not have it&#39;s own &#39;hole&#39;. Each &#39;hole&#39; is for 2 speakers, its called 2 channels though. so a 6 channel sound card will have 3 &#39;holes&#39; and a 6.1 sound system will have 3 plugs to go in those holes.

To enable the audio to work with 6 channels on that board you will need to go into the BIOS and somewhere in their will be a setting to choose if the soundcard uses the mic and line-in as a mic and line-in or as 2 more sets of 2 channels (makes 6 channels in total).

I had the same problem not too long ago when I installed a Sound Blaster Live&#33; card. It turned out that the wrong drivers were installed. Try reinstalling the audio drivers. You also have to enable surround sound speaker output in the Windows audio control panel.
