dual sound cards

by alldtoys . Updated 23 years, 5 months ago

I have a dell 8200 P4 Dimension with a Sound Blaster Live digital sound card. The sound card is connected to my home entertainment system. I want to be able to send sound throughout the house with the highest possible quality. In the main room, the digital output sounds great. So just using analog throughout the house isn’t the answer. I want to install a 2nd sound card, so that I can send the sound as analog to any or all of the other locations in the house at the same time as getting the sound digitally in the main room. (or is there a replacement card I can install that will simultaneously give digital & analog output) What problems would I run into installing dual sound cards & how do I overcome them? IRQ conflicts, making both cards run simultaneously, etc? Recommendations on a 2nd sound card?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
