This one's for you audiophiles out there on the CZ:
I'm confused about speaker output standards on sound cards. I want to know what the diff's are between yer standard "stereo" output (which most cards have), and 4.1, 5.1, and "6-speaker sound". Reading the following definitions on the "3D Soundsurge" site didn't help:
"4.1-analog/digital out: The soundcard in addition to the front and stereo output also offers a subwoofer output.
5.1-analog/digital: The soundcard has an output for the subwoofer/center channel in addition to the front and rear speaker stereo output"
Maybe I'm dense, but the 2 definitions above say essentially the same thing, with slightly different word arrangements, do they not?...
Plz help clarify this to me. Thx.
