Windows 7... get it, you can swich between any outputs with two clicks of the mouse, and just leave everything connected. The only issue is if you wanted them both on at the same time. A royal pain, but doable.

Yeah, perhaps a better title would have been 'Headphones: A Brief Introduction' or something

ohms law... I=v/r so if its driven 5v peak to peak, 5/38 = 131.6mA. a 150 ohm load at the same 5v p-p is 33 1/3mA. alot less current, so easier to drive.

My remote wire is hooked into my power steering fuse. It ONLY gets voltage when my car is running. My amp won't even turn on unless I turn the car completely on, so no I don't listen to it with the car off. The only thing I can think of is that when I have the switch on, my car and all the electronics are turning on at the same time the amp sees the remote wire come on.

my 27" LG is due to arrive tomorrow from amazon - pc is still in build stage waiting a few things tuesday from newegg

Ok. Rather than spending money upgrading your graphics card, you should be able to connect it via analog to try it out. According to this picture, you should have enough inupts. Depending on the speakers, you amy not be able to hear the difference.

The X-Fi XM does do 5.1, almost exclusively from the analog outputs. Itll do 5.1 over optical, but not unless the audio stream was pre-encoded in 5.1. The X-Fi XM doesnt have the ability to encode 5.1, so anything not already encoded in 5.1 will play in stereo over a digital connection. If you want to have 5.1 in everything over a digital connection, youll need a card that does Dolby Digital Live.
