Hi guys, on my very old motherboard I have a realteak audio chip with 6 multi-coloured analog inputs. You're supposed to use them for multi-channel speakers but you can really use them like you want 'cause when you insert a plug in, the software in windows let you choose "what it is" and so I use most of them like "LINE IN" to get audio on pc from external sources (audio players, consoles etc).
G1.Sniper Z97 and GA-Z97X-Gaming G1 have a "Creative Sound Core 3D" onboard instead of a realtek chip (for example, Realtek ALC1150 is on Gaming GT and GA-Z97X-UD5H-BK). From pictures I see 5 golden inputs (not multi-coloured) and I'd like to know:
- Can I do the same thing with the Creative chip on G1.Sniper so I can use most of the inputs as LINE IN (or whatever I want)? Will the driver/software in windows let me choose, for every plug I insert, if it is a mic or headphone or LINE IN or LINE OUT etc.?
- Or I have to buy a motherboard with Realtek chip, like Gaming GT, UD5H etc. ? Will the realtek alc1150 let me do this like I used to do on older realteak ALC882M?
TL;DR
- Does Creative Sound Core on e.g. G1.Sniper Z97 support Jack-sensing / Jack-retasking functions / universal audio jack ?
- Dose Realtek ALC1150 on e.g. Gaming GT and GA-Z97X-UD5H-BK support Jack-sensing / Jack-retasking functions / universal audio jack ?
