    Hope its the right forum

    I have a dell pc with a 5.1 sound card which i want to set up on my sound system.

    the problem is i also have the pc connected to my DVD recorder via the tv out on my video card so i can play something on my pc and record it to dvd

    so was wondering can i install a 2nd sound card so i can connect one to my dvd recorder and the other to the surround system

    Thanks in advance Omega

    On some programs can't you set the output? Maybe you can output one program to sound card 1 and another program to sound card 2.

    no it wont work because of irq conflicts. All you can do is get an audio splitter.
