Hey guys,

I've got a quick question.. I kind of know the answer I just wanted to hear other peoples opinions/thoughts and wasn't really sure how to word it out for the title to make sense

Will having a higher-end audio chip/codec (on your motherboard or separate sound-card) result in higher quality audio when you're recording or is that simply just left to what audio codec you're recording to? Like PCM, AAC etc. I know the quality difference will probably be really minor but I'm just curious, and would that be the same answer to using a separate PC to record to?


Thanks for the help guys
 
strange question. listen to onboard realtek and a card like xonar for example on some good 5.1 or 7.1 speakers. difference is huge if you can hear it and is preserved in recording
 
Sorry for the late reply, Didn't expect people to even answer lol. Yeah I was kind of figuring that I just wasn't 100% sure. I myself can definitely hear a difference between Realtek and separate cards or mobo's with a better chip or even bitrate's in some situations.

If I was splitting the signal to a capture card I guess the audio would be recorded/captured on the GPU through HDMI instead of the motherboards audio?
