In contrast to the current integrated sound cards, independent sound cards are mostly tailored for music enthusiasts and other special occasions. It has very strict requirements on some technical indicators in electroacoustics, reaching The level of excellence, coupled with the excellent playback system, gives people the best audio-visual enjoyment.
The difference between independent sound cards and integrated sound cards:
Independent sound cards have more filter capacitors and power amplifier tubes. After several levels of signal amplification and noise reduction circuits, the output audio is smoother. The signal accuracy is improved, so the sound quality output effect is better. Integrated sound cards are affected by the design of the entire motherboard circuit. When the electronic components on the circuit board are working, they are prone to mutual interference and an increase in electrical noise. Moreover, it is impossible for the circuit board to integrate more multi-level signal amplification components and reduce noise. Noise circuit, so it will affect the output of the sound quality signal, eventually leading to relatively poor sound quality of the output audio. In addition, independent sound cards have rich audio adjustable functions, which can be adjusted according to different needs of users. The onboard audio output parameters are a default given when the motherboard leaves the factory. They cannot be adjusted at will. Most of them are controlled by software, so they cannot be achieved. Some users have special requirements for audio output.
The biggest difference between an independent sound card and a built-in sound card is that the built-in sound card requires the assistance of the CPU to complete the decoding work. (Most built-in sound cards do not have DSP and require CPU processing) There are also independent sound cards that can provide better sound quality and more special effects than built-in sound cards.
