So I guess I'll be adding two speakers. I really don't want more than that cluttering my desktop.
And Aegypticus, thanks for pointing out that HDMI bypasses the graphics card. I just assumed HDMI would pass both video and audio like in my home-theatre setup. |
What he meant is that if you plug into the motherboard, it wont be using your graphics card, ie to actually use the card you need to plug devices into it.
In fact, you even wouldn't get a signal from the onboard port most likely, unless that mother board required you to disable the onboard video manually, but I have not run across a board like that in a long time.
