Computers with 7.1 audio card

7.1 audio support

— computers capable of 7.1 multi-channel audio; meaning the ability to connect 7.1 system speakers directly to the analogue outputs of the sound card.

This format is a further, after 5.1, improvement of the idea of surround sound. 7.1 systems have 5 traditional audio channels (2 front, 1 front centre and 2 rear), and 2 additional channels can be placed in different ways — as side, as "add-ons" above the front or rear, etc. In any In this case, the 7.1 format allows you to achieve a more reliable sound than 5.1, and its support in modern sound cards is very inexpensive. At the same time, such sound cards are capable of working with 5.1 acoustics / sound.
