Sound Card Question

2 replies · 1,097 views · Started 15 May 2002

Is there any way to connect my speakers to two seperate sound cards. The reason I'm asking is because I use both Windows and Linux, but Linux doesn't have any drivers for my SoundBlaster 512 (damn Creative), so I have to use my motherboard's soundcard when in Linux to get sound.

Anyway, is there a way to do this? Possibly an adapter?

I don't think so.
But I could be wrong. Try checking Radio Shack, they tend to carry stuff like that.

If you can't find one, you might as well buy a cheap second pair of speakers for Linux.

Yeah, just check out radio-shack for a splitter. As long as both soundcards have the same type of plug, you shouldn't have to daisy-chain it through anything else. Hell, if you had a couple extra sets of headphones to chop up you could almost do the whole thing with stuff from around the house.
