In general, there are Philips SHP 8500 ears and I think to buy an external sound for them. What do you think, is it worth taking a sound card at all, if so which one?
The budget in the region of 1000 rubles + -300
In general, I first wanted to take columns 2.0, around 2k, but something changed my mind ...

What kind of laptop? Look at the ASUS Xonar U3. Better to listen before purchasing with disabled improvers.

Judging by the price and reviews, the ears are not worth buying a sound card for them.

What is wrong with the reviews? Ooh

[pasha_550]

AlexTrueMan
Bad headband, sound - so-so.

[AlexTrueMan]

pasha_550I agree with the headband, but what's wrong with the sound? For such a price, what could be better?

[Silveer]

I want to order an external sound card from China, my own is broken / burned. Here is an eye on eBay:http://www.ebay.com/it…l_&hash=item56571825f3
Who understands whether the external card can replace the native one and serve faithfully and faithfully? (Google shrugs).

A couple of months ago I was listening to some external type cardsuchorsuchFrankly speaking, compared with the solutions built into the motherboard, I was impressed.
Unfortunately, it was a passing acquaintance and I do not know any details. In addition, the assembly kit was ordered, for example, on aliexpress and soldered independently. But I can be wrong about self-assembly. Here primerchikhttp: //www.aliexpress...-format/976367053.html

compared with the built-in motherboard solutions, impressed.

I think it is easy to explain: BB is a well-known manufacturer, and secondly, as was rightly noted in the commands on HabrГ©, if you put the same capacitors on a computer in the power supply, then the sound will also become quite good. :)

[Stasman]

I've been using this for a long time already -http://www.ebay.com/it…al&hash=item19cac01de8
It works without drivers, at least under Win7x64, well, the sound is very ...
Although if you need a pi-pi-i then any USB will fit of course :)

StasMan @ 02/10/2014, 14:05

if you need pi-pi

By your link the most it! : D

no details i don't know

By the way, I turned up the option to find out the details: a whale of this type was bought on AliSimple Audio DAC(on the same converter) and soldered independently. Everything cost about 10 bucks.

Stylization. The idea is interesting, the implementation is not very - they obviously failed the curve adapter ... and the view is not ice with the headset connected ...

Good people help. What kind of sound card, preferably in the aisles of $ 100, you can buy. There is an amp sherwood ax 5505 and floor speakers pure acustick spark. Thanks in advance

You would have a DAC connected by YUSB and everything, or a converter, but it is natural that in the first case, that in the second case, you will not get $ 100 here. I would advise you an asus ST / STX series, but they cost more than $ 100, and I don’t even know that you can now take a normal one for 6k rubles. Prices are now hellish but all electronics.

magnus731 what abouthttp://www.nix.ru/auto...nar_D1_PCI_98571.html?

For the budget is quite normal. DAC Cyrus 4398, quite obuzany and easily tied. So, if you are not so zadroty by sound like me, then not a bad decision.

In the device manager, he sees the device but I can not install the driver

No device drivers are installed. (Code 28)

This operation requires an interactive window terminal.

Help me in general :)

[CROWOSTOK26RUS]

Guys theme is, there is an old sound but true working sound, I want to connect power directly without a motherboard tobish to make a hook (though 8 Ohms) but for headphones norm. But the fact that it is an ancient blah I can't find datasheets on chips on the Internet, etc d.all rummaged,
MODEL: CT4810 on the Internet, the driver current on it and in fact the component itself is missing

No A sound card is not a separate external complete device, it is a semi-finished product that is controlled by the driver via the PCI bus. By applying power to the card, you will not achieve anything.
