Hi All,
Possibly not strictly DIY but I am trying to do something myself but would like some help please? I have asked on more subject specific list but haven't had much luck yet.. ;-(
I recently upgraded my PC and video card and the card comes with TV out. This is presented on a non-standard S-Video plug but they provide an adaptor to give composite video and that works fine into my Video then TV. I also need to run the audio (if playing a DVD from the PC etc) and as I don't believe it is provided by the video card (the extra pins on the S-Video connector?) I need to take it from the sound card.
However the std onboard AC97 sound system on this (and most) system boards only has a single unamplified speaker type output that would require me to swap leads between the speakers and the TV feed (not a real issue there ..I could even add an extra output to my headphone / speaker switch box) but the level wouldn't be constant as with a 'line-out' (eg volume would be effected by the mixer).
So, is anyone aware of a basic (I don't want / need optical or digital output, 5.1 etc) sound card that offers line-out alongside the std mic, line in and speaker connections please?
Thanks for your time ..

p.s. I'm running XP Pro and the new video card is a Sapphire Radeon
9600 Atlantis (ATI)p.p.s. For those older members on this list I had a Gravis Ultrasound and Orchid Soundwave 32, both had line out (but both are ISA cards) ;-(
