So a friend of mine wants me to build him a cheap HTPC. I was researching parts, and I came across the sound card part of things. I got curious and then thought:
How does a 7.1 sound card with standard 3.5mm jacks output to surround sound? Would there need to be an intermediate device to put it out? I am looking for a card on the cheap, not audiophile but better than integrated. Less than $80 is about alright.
Thanks.
