Hi,
My optical out on my onboard soundcard hasn’t been working for the last couple of days having just purchased a pioneer HTP-GS1
I was on a bit of a mission to make it work having tried everything!
I decided to pull oaf my GFX card and reseat the cable that connects it to the Mobo
When I turned my PC back on a got sparks and smoke!
The cables that run from my Mobo to the Optical out had disintegrated! Literally
The rest of my pc (Inc on board sound) works fine
So anyway the question is....
The speaker system has got a phono input as well
So am I going to notice a difference in the quality of sound by using a phono lead instead of an optical one!??
Also anyone got any suggestions on good sound cards with optical outs!??
Thanks
Dave!
