So, I have this old receiver and two speakers Thanks for any advice/tips in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan F Posted February 9, 2001 Share Posted February 9, 2001 You got me. Speakers don't normally get louder by splitting the signal. It's possible that the stereo receiver shorts the inputs when the PC input is not selected (there are some rare designs where this technique would be applied to reduce noise levels). If this were the case, it could be a bad thing for the sound card. The way to check is to leave the receiver on, and disconnect the plug. If the PC speakers get louder, then you could be dealing with a shorted input situation. In that case, you will not want to leave your sound card plugged into a shorting input. -djf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
