Could I Fry Two Sound Cards by Connecting Them?

by raywood . Updated 18 years, 6 months ago

In the name of science, I ran a Y cable to the audio output jacks on two separate computers. This enabled me to use one pair of headphones to listen to two computers without manually unplugging cables.

I am wondering whether this may have been the cause of seriously deteriorated sound quality now. Both sound cards, although inexpensive, were working fine before, and both are almost new.

I’m just wondering whether I need to order a couple of replacement cheapo sound cards from Newegg tonight.
