Re:Audio cable to connect to your sound card?

Posted by: Anonymous Coward on January 06, 2007 12:35 AM
The audio cable is only used for analog channels as the sound has to be extracted from the channel and sent thru this cable to the audio input of the sound card.

The digital channels has the audio encoded in the stream and gets extracted and sent directly to the sound card by whatever is playing the stream as in myth or xine.
