Hardware GPU
#1

Hello, i just saw that the gigabyte gtx 660 has a built in 7.1 sound card, is that true? and if so how do you use that sound card. as i dont have the 7.1 3,5mm out puts

I don't know why a GPU would have onboard sound. It may support 7.1 output through the HDMI, if that's possible, but I don't seen anything on Nvidia's page for the 660 mentioning onboard sound and if it does support the output I'm guessing it's just a cypher for that, not the thing processing it.

It just outputs that via HDMI.

#4

yeah as jman and vincibleandy have said, it just allows the audio signal to be passed through a HDMI cable to a display.

Or you could just use onboard sound, if you're short on money.
